Sonia Faleiro

"The Girl" is arriving in bookstores this week, and is already on the shelves in some cities, including Delhi.

An exclusive excerpt is available in this week's Tehelka.

In addition to this, a reading of this excerpt is now being made available on my website, and can also be heard as a Podcast by dragging this icon into your iTunes or other Podcast software. (You don't need an iPod to do this.)

If dragging the icon does not work, you can also manually subscribe to: http://soniafaleiro.com/podcast/thegirl.rss.txt. In iTunes this is done by going to the "Advanced" tab on the menu, and selecting "Subscribe to Podcast."

Enjoy.

Hey - I have never seen this thing before, only read about it! Great idea, and lovely piece and reading. I bet you are first Indian writer to use this new Podcasting technology.

Wonderfully entertaining blog, Sonia! Congratulations also on your literary debut, the excerpt of your novel reads beautifully, and I'm looking forward to receiving the copy I ordered online.

Here's wishing you rake in many millions and continue writing for our collective reading pleasure!

Anon, Simran, thank you. Hope you enjoy the novel.

Just downloaded the clip from the site. Great reading, and you're doing a wonderfully professional job with the promotion. It's a welcome relief from all those unimaginative book launches.

Thank you, Jai. And suggestions are welcome.

hey Sonia, what kind of fiction is The Girl? can you classify? its just that I followed your link from Amit's blog, so I don't know anything about it!! :)

Just visited your website - it's very nicely designed!

The podcast is an excellent idea, one that I can bet will be copied by many other writers :)
