Do you like thrillers? Then you might like Haunted by Douglas Misquita
, which I reviewed recently. Want to know more? Check out my review with the author himself!
Right now I'm reading I, Sniper by Stephen Hunter
Which genre do I read? See above (smiles)
I pick up any of my books and read the exciting parts again and again. I've read the Tintin comics almost to the near 3-digit numbers and Jurassic Park 9 times. And I'm not telling you how many times I've watched the movie!
2. Tell us something about your work before "Haunted"?
Before Haunted, there were short fiction that I wrote on single-ruled books and a lot of discarded and frustrated writings that stonewalled and some songs I composed.
3. Did you always want to be a writer? How did you get into writing? What inspired you to write "Haunted"?
I'm sure people might know this by-heart now. I wanted to be a writer from 1993. I got into writing when I tried to emulate the late Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park in my own El Dorado-themed adventure. Fast-action-movies with in-your-face visual effects combined with my interest (and almost everyone's) in a troubled/ traumatized psyche inspired me to write "Haunted"
4. What kind of people do you think this book will reach out to?
Books and the stories and information they hold transport me to places. How have books made an impact on my life? Given me an active imagination, produced "Haunted", taught me a lot about the world we live in and where we are headed, given me a lot of imitable idols.
6. Quick take. Answer the following with the first words/phrase that comes to your mind, in five words or less:
- Thrillers – Excitement ahoy!
- Life – Acceptance and courage
- Kirk Ingram (the character) – Troubled
- Haunted (the book) – Raw adrenaline
- Books – Comfort

1. I'd like to begin this interview by asking you what kind of books are there on your bookshelf? What books are you reading right now? Which genre of books do you generally read? Which books do you re-read again and again?
Hi Sakhi. My bookshelf is full of techno-thrillers, adventure-thrillers, conspiracy-thrillers...Right now I'm reading I, Sniper by Stephen Hunter

4. What kind of people do you think this book will reach out to?
Anyone who loves movies, high-octane action, and want to escape their routine. There's no age-limit: I guess you could read it to a newborn baby with all the sound effects and visuals and hold it enthralled (smiles); read it to your grandparents and they'd be itching for those stunts!
