What are your books about? Where do you get your ideas from? When does one become entitled to call himself a writer? How did you become a writer? What does your family think about your books? Does it make you any money? Are you crushed by the weight of all that fame?

But not all questions cause dismay to writers. Writers love to talk about themselves, to have their fragile egos massaged by softball or worshipful questions.

Whichever side you are on, Richard Crasta's short short book on "21 Questions You Should Never Ask a Writer" may inspire you and prepare you for the grand television interview or for the nighttime shows where you will be interviewed, sometimes by major writers and personalities.

As happened to Richard Crasta, the author of this book, who found himself watched by an estimated 50 million Indians, perhaps because he was interviewed by the already famous television anchor Karan Thapar, and his co-interviewees were Sushmita Sen, the newly crowned Miss India (soon to become Miss Universe), and Shatrujan Sinha, a major Bollywood star.

Or you can take it as a mind-exercise, one that trains your mind to be flexible and perform in any situation.

A few of the questions in this book come with possible answers or prompts for the unexpected question.

Richard Crasta, the author of the bestselling Indian novel, The Revised Kama Sutra, also writes under pseudonyms such as Benny Profane, Vijay Prabhu, and P.C. Anders, and is now a U.S. citizen spending much of his time in Cambodia and India,. He has written more than 12 books, and some are in print, and most will also be available in print and audio-book formats.
