5/21/2023 0 Comments A Royal Wedding by Jeevani CharikaThe next book I wrote was a rom com with white main characters in it. I couldn’t find a home for it (even though I got some very nice rejection notes). So why the two names? Well… I’m British Sri-Lankan and the first book I wrote was about a bunch of middle class Sri Lankan people. I also write under the pen name Rhoda Baxter. I write women’s fiction and contemporary romances with a hint of British cynicism. It’s nice to meet you, I’m Jeevani, but you can call me Jeev. I chose to use a pen name for those books, for a variety of reasons, including the fact that my real name is difficult to spell and difficult to pronounce and marks me out as non-white.
