About Me

Daya loves to read. While she’s not reading, writing about reading, or thinking about reading, she is most likely selling her soul to the 9 to 5 gods as a marketer for a small health care consulting company.

Daya was a precocious child and first started sounding out words in preschool, instantly engaging in a torrid affair with Dr. Suess when the other children had naptime.

Her older sister encouraged her reading addiction and introduced her to the best genre that exists: Fantasy. Thus Daya whiled away her teen years immersed in other worlds and third dimensions.

As she got older, her family connections in publishing allowed her to read more than her own wallet would allow, occasionally even handing over revered Advance Reading Copies.

When Daya is not reading, her self therapy includes the aforementioned reading, television, and nightcaps. She is also allergic to cats, the outdoors in general, her (almost) brother-in-law, and she really dislikes static cling. Daya is not right handed.

You can contact Daya for whatever reason (but preferably about books) at dayapillaiATgmailDOTcom. She can also be found meandering Wonderlands, visiting the Dragon Federation, tweeting about nothing in particular, or googling words she made up.

    BLURB: The town of Tanglewood Falls offers breath-taking views, yet the serendipity is misleading. The impoverished people and their forgotten community have been unwittingly exploited. Their act of trust and blind consent altered their existence and the secret has remained buried, until Ryan returns to explore his heritage. For twenty years, he’s been haunted by confusing images, recurring dreams rooted in his past. He’s driven to understand their meaning, to obtain answers to his lost memories. Ryan’s search for truth collides with the folklore of the simple people and the belief that their beautiful Annie is blessed. Together, they unravel the mystery, but at a price. They become targets of those responsible for what happened to the town. As the truth is exposed, Ryan must grapple with his own reality; the fact that his past, his nightmares, and Annie’s secret, everything is entangled in the desperate act of one lonely man.
