​The girl behind the story
She was raised in one of the most beautiful small towns, Wellington, in the Cape Winelands, that’s a 45-minute drive from Cape Town, in South Africa.
Her modest,christian upbringing and steadfast core values gives her the ability to relate to her audiences.
​
Combined with her unique way of writing makes her stories a trill for readers.
​
Her love for Hindi Cinema and TV is what makes her different from other writers.
​
10 years ago a local television station started to show Bollywood movies and with her first movie being Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge(DDLJ),she fell inlove with the romance of bollywood.
​
Next was Devdas and Tere Naam .
Monique was absolutely fascinated with the culture,music and everything Indian.
​
So she began to like the music….but the thing was she wanted to know what they were singing about.
​
So she learned some common phrases and
thus began my love for the language of Hindi.
