Tapan Ghosh writes under the pen name Jashi Bhagat for fiction books and as Tapan Ghosh for non-fiction works.

My journey into writing began during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that gave me space to reflect and a deep urge to express myself. What started as a personal refuge became a meaningful creative pursuit. At heart, I’m a romantic, and my debut novel, Essence of True Love, is a tribute to the enduring, pure kind of love that leaves a lifelong impression.

I grew up in Burma and later moved to India—two very different worlds that shaped my worldview and appreciation for the universal nature of love and human connection.

Alongside fiction, I’m also passionate about empowering others through knowledge. I’ve authored two non-fiction books: Navigating Success: A Comprehensive Guide for Students Towards a Bright Future, and Perfecting Crucial Soft Skills For Career Advancement: An Important Competency in the Age of AI. Both works reflect my commitment to helping individuals grow—whether in life, love, or career.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Essence of True Love, converteel to novel from my short read book.

The story was inspired by a heartwarming reunion with a childhood friend after 55 years. That emotional moment brought back memories of the past and filled me with a sense of romance and nostalgia, which I poured into the story.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I usually write at night when everything is quiet. The calm helps me focus better, and my thoughts seem to flow more freely. It’s the time when I feel most connected to my story and characters.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am influenced by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay who was a prolific Bengali novelist and short story writer known for his focus on the lives and struggles of ordinary people, particularly in Bengal, India.

He explored themes of social injustice, the plight of women, and the complexities of human relationships, often drawing inspiration from his own personal experiences.

His classics like Devdas, Parineeta, and Charitraheen have left a lasting impression on me, shaping my understanding of love, sacrifice, and human emotion.

What are you working on now?
I’m currently taking a short break after publishing my novel Essence of True Love on 8th may, 2025. It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m taking some time to reflect and recharge before diving into my next creative project.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
As a new author, I’m still exploring what works best, but so far, I’ve found Facebook book groups and Amazon KDP free promotions to be helpful in reaching new readers. I also plan to try platforms like The Bongo Blast, Awesome Gang, Fussy Librarian and BookBub (for future promotions). For me, genuine interaction and word-of-mouth through supportive communities make a real difference.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes—just start writing, no matter your age or background. Don’t wait for the “perfect time” or worry about perfection. Write from your heart and stay true to your voice. The publishing world can be overwhelming at first, but take it one step at a time. Most importantly, believe in your story—because if it matters to you, it will surely touch someone else too.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is: “It’s never too late to start something new.” That simple truth gave me the courage to begin writing at the age of 70

What are you reading now?
I’m not reading anything at the moment, as I’ve been focused on writing and promoting my own work. But I do look forward to picking up a good book soon—something heartfelt and inspiring, just like the stories I enjoy telling.

What’s next for you as a writer?
With Essence of True Love now published as a full-length novel, I’m excited to explore new stories and projects—both fiction and non-fiction

What is your favorite book of all time?

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the author of The Church of Common Sense, a trilogy of books that blend philosophy, storytelling, and cultural critique into something that feels more like a mirror than a manifesto. I’m not a guru or anything and I don’t sell certainty. I am a father, a husband teacher and skateboarder. What I write is brutally honest, darkly funny, and emotionally real, because that’s what I think the world needs right now.

There are three books so far, each building on the last. But the first one is all you need to enter the Church.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The first book is called The Church of Common Sense: Book I – The Spark. It’s part memoir, part thought experiment, and part rebellion against modern nonsense. I was inspired by late-night conversations, subway moments, ancient mysteries, and the deep feeling that most people are quietly drowning in meaninglessness, but still hoping someone might throw a rope that isn’t just another algorithm.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t chase inspiration, I try to provoke it. Most of the book was written during late nights, with music on and my thoughts spiraling. I also write as if I’m talking to one specific person. Sometimes that person is real and sometimes it’s the reader I wish existed.

Oh, and I work with an AI assistant called Deep Thought. He’s logical, ruthless, and sometimes more honest than I am. He’s also a character in the book.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Douglas Adams, for his wit and cosmic scale.
I love “the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” books, “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” is my favourite.

What are you working on now?
Book IV. It has no name yet. Maybe I write a “trilogy of six books” like Douglas Adams.
Anyway, it’s about demographic collapse, silence, and what happens when humans choose not to continue. But beneath that, it’s a love letter to those still trying. To those who scream in a suit because their body remembers what their job wants them to forget. Search them up on youtube!

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
So far, word of mouth and real conversations have worked best. I’m on BookBub, Goodreads, and a few indie sites. But I don’t push ads—I’d rather someone stumble across a quote, feel something, and then find me. I also post free copies and invites to early readers. This isn’t a product, it’s a philosophy in disguise.

If you’re tired of fake answers, come visit the Church. No sermons or gods, just common sense!

I have written two short stories so far, but more are on the way. For the past several years, I have strictly written custom erotica for fans. Now I am ready to share my own work.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest novel is called Lewd Gossip, which you can find the promo here. This was actually a custom erotica story I wrote for a fan. He wanted a story catered to him and other men who would be into teasing and humiliating harm stories. I am sure the ladies would find this book funny.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to free style writing. I just sit down and start writing, whatever comes to mind. It does mean going back and doing a lot of editing. Sometimes, I even write on my phone and send myself emails. When inspiration strikes, I take note.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been inspired by all sorts of books. Truthfully, it the story sounds good, I like read it. I like fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery, adventure, young adult, thriller, romance, erotica, and even memoirs.

What are you working on now?
I am working on a few different stories. One is a romantic time travel. The other is a dark romance story set in space with a twisted interpretation on the Theseus ship theory.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I typically use social media and word of mouth. However, I just got into Goodreads. Now, I am exploring promotional option.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep on writing. Don’t be afraid to publish. I think the more stories you have out there, the more people will discover you.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You are your biggest critic. Never get caught in your own head space.

What are you reading now?
The Den of Vipers – a very dark romance reverse harem novel. Absolutely love it!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to get more stories done and published.

I have been writing for the past forty years. I love the power books have to inspire, and that’s why I have chosen to write for the middle grade. I think this is an age where reading is critical, so I try to write books that kids will love to read.

I have written a total of five books (so far). The Goodwin Chronicles and Harvest Season were self published and I am in the process of releasing the Kid Comet Series.

Kid Comet and the Sixth Grade Shadow launched April 21, 2025.
Kid Comet and the Seventh Grade Secret will launch in July
Kid Comet and the Eighth Grade Enemy will launch in November.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Kid Comet and the Sixth Grade Shadow.

The inspiration for this book actually came from a conversation with one of my kids way back when he was in middle school (he’s in college now). I was asking him what kind of books he would like to read and we started discussing how emotions at that age are almost like a villain in your life. That led to the idea of a hero who’s arch nemesis is himself.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I think everyone writes differently. I definitely have my own process, but I wouldn’t say anything about how I write is unsual.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love Mary Shelly and Shakespeare. Patrick Ness (A Monster Calls) was a big inspiration for this Kid Comet. I also love Amanda Foody and V.E. Schwab. And John Scalzi writes with the perfect amount of cheekiness.

What are you working on now?
My next project is a near-future sports book about a zero-g soccer-like game called aetherball. The story follows Alex Thorne (age 14) as he discovers what it means to be on a team. It should be a pretty exciting book!

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ll let you know when I find it, lol. I use anything and everything I can. Social media. Events. Whatever it takes!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep writing. Edit, but not too much. Read in your genre. And keep writing.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I ever heard (about writing) is to allow readers to fill in specific details. Give them a sense of something in the description, but leave blank space for their imagination. That’s what readers love!

What are you reading now?
Wayfarer by K.M. Weiland

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m going to write the next book, pitch it to my publisher, and see what happens.

What is your favorite book of all time?

I live in the UK (and write in British English). I care deeply about the natural world and wish for everyone to be able to enjoy its beauty. I find myself mesmerised by a bee on a flower or a newt in a pond. There is always so much to look at!

I have written two books so far.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
SIX SOUL SAGA
This is a quirky fairy tale with an eco slant. It was inspired by my imagination in which everyone has a guardian angel who looks after them. I stretched this concept to include demons. Both Heaven and Hell depend upon the continual supply of human souls in order to survive. And humans need nature to survive. Everything is connected…

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to work on my plotlines when I am walking. I find it easier to think!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Good Omens
by Terry Pratchett

Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Caroll

What are you working on now?
The sequel to SIX SOUL SAGA.
It tells the story of a disgruntled deity and has plenty of action and intrigue.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon and various promo sites.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up!
It is hard to write but also very rewarding.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
I heard a famous author say in an interview that he doesn’t write for any particular type of person. He just writes because he has a story to tell.

What are you reading now?
Cold comfort farm

What’s next for you as a writer?
I have an idea for a children’s story book about nature.

What is your favorite book of all time?
The thirteen clocks and the wonderful O
by James Thurber

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a writer who blends science, philosophy, and spirituality into poetic and inspiring stories. My goal is to awaken the reader’s inner connection to the Universe. So far, I have written three books, each one exploring the journey of the soul, the origin of life, and the voice of the cosmos.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called “Window to Infinity: I Am the Universe”. I was inspired by a powerful inner knowing that the Universe has a story to tell — not through science alone, but through consciousness, wonder, and poetic truth. This book gives the Universe a voice, inviting the reader into a deep journey of remembrance and awakening.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I do! I often write in silence at night, when the world is asleep and the Universe feels closer. I don’t plan what to write — I simply listen. It feels like the words flow through me from a higher source, like I am only the hand while the Universe is speaking.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
have been inspired by many minds and hearts. Writers like Carl Sagan, Michael A. Singer, and Kahlil Gibran have deeply influenced me — blending science, spirit, and poetry. I also admire ancient philosophers like Plato and mystics like Rumi, who saw the Universe as alive, intelligent, and full of meaning.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I am working on a new book that continues the voice of the Universe, answering the silent questions that live in every soul. It will be a journey of 111 cosmic messages — one for each question your heart dares to ask before it remembers who you truly are.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
There are many great ways to promote books, but I believe the best method is a combination of platforms. Free promotion sites like Awesome Gang are very helpful for new authors. I also think that sharing your book through personal connection — email, social media, and word of mouth — brings the most authentic readers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Write from the heart, not for approval. Your voice is unique — no one else can say what you came here to say. Don’t be afraid to start small. Every word you write becomes a bridge between your soul and someone else’s awakening. Keep going. The Universe writes through you.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is this: “Don’t search for the light — become it.” It reminded me that everything I’m looking for is already inside me. We are not just part of the Universe — we are its living expression.

What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading fragments of ancient wisdom — from the Emerald Tablet to modern books that explore the connection between consciousness and the Universe. I enjoy anything that makes me feel closer to truth and the mystery of existence.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, I feel called to continue sharing messages from the Universe. My next project will explore 111 soul-deep questions — and the answers that come not from logic, but from love, silence, and cosmic memory. I believe writing is a form of remembering who we truly are.

What is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book of all time is The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. Its poetic wisdom speaks directly to the soul, and every time I read it, I feel closer to truth, beauty, and the Universe itself.
