I had mixed feelings about this book which I had to split up before writing this review. But are a normal, everyday hospital Doctor and a Prince really able to maintain a romantic relationship? The two have fun and agree to see one another again. She had to give a five-minute speech to be in the running in front of a crowded room including HRH Prince Benedict and was feeling very nervous and made a couple of mistakes.Ī few days later she is asked to go on a blind date with someone called Ben and doesn’t put two and two together. There’s a whole lot of other stuff I could tell you – but mainly, I’m a former scientist, a fan of Lego, an embarrassing mum, a part time geek (see ’embarrassing mum’) and a very short person.īook Reviewed by Stacey on Hospital Doctor Kumari Senavaka also works for ‘Better for All’ charity and was competing for a grant to help their work. So it seemed only right for that book to be under my difficult to spell, difficult to pronounce name.įor the record, it’s pronounced Jeev-uh-nee. Recently, I got to write a book with Sri Lankan heroine. My fifth book also had Sri Lankan main characters. 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. The 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.
