Yours Legally By Soniya Sahijwani.

Image
The Blurb:  A young girl Sia has recently finished her graduation in Law against her parent’s wishes. With absolutely no family background in the legal profession, she sets out to explore the various opportunities this not so common but the upcoming field of law brings her way. Written in the form of short stories and inspired by some true events, the author, through the protagonist Sia, narrates to us few such unusual and memorable incidents including some eccentric courtroom dramas, all of which left a deep impact in her life. This debut book one is an honest attempt to talk about the law with a dash of satire, with an aim to reach out to all those who may or may have never heard anything about the legal profession nor would have ever stepped inside a court. And for those who are a part of it already, they might relate to it in some way. Just read along and enjoy the short but bumpy ride….. "An impressive, coming of age slice of the life journey of a young lawyer, the book is an

Baby on Board by Sonia Sahijwani Saini.

Image
The Blurb:  To start with, this is my story. For many years I tried to delay and escape from the inevitable. For months thereafter, I was persistently persuaded by my near and dear ones. Finally, in late 2017, (yes I planned the year and almost the month as well), I finally took the plunge and entered the phase of ‘Motherhood’, albeit, with a lot of anxiety and fears. This is the journey of someone who literally suffered from Tokophobia-(fear of childbirth) since she was young but ultimately & contrary to popular perception, it became the biggest and most wonderful challenge of her life. My Take:  Baby on Board is the second book written by the author Sonia Sahijwani Saini and it about an ordinary couple's extraordinary pregnancy journey that is expressed beautifully.  The book starts with the time at the hospital at the time giving birth. Author Sonia Sahijwani Saini has shared her experience of giving birth and the feeling and emotions she faced during that time and she has d

The Blurb: Four Friends on a Journey. A Mysterious World is Found. A Struggle to Find Answers. Have you ever wished that you had an exciting and fun-filled spring break? Well, Emma Lotal and her three best friends since childhood, Zoey, John, and Jonas just want to have a relaxing time on their break from school. What they really don't expect is for a relative, who is weird to start with, shrink them into this world with wolves that can fly and a mystery that has stumped everyone for years. They automatically know that this is going to be a time to remember. But when you're in a universe other than the one you grew up in it can be overwhelming.  When Emma and her friends don't seem as scared as they should be and act naturally as they embark on a journey to find the lost warriors overseers get suspicious. They realize that Emma and her friends were the ones that Marla was telling the council about and they can't let the group know why they were brought here and why thei

Author's Interview with Kshama Rao.

Image
First, before we move forward with our Authors Interview, I would like to start with an introduction.  1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? Hi. I am Kshama Rao. I am a post-graduate in Human Development from Bangalore University. I was in Africa for eight years in my childhood. I have written and published twelve books that are sold nationwide. I have also received a few awards for my work as an author. Currently, I am residing in Navi Mumbai. Recently, I published a book SUNSHINE 2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book? Thank you. I am a bhakt of Lord Shiva, since the time I was five years old. I used to meditate and chant "Om Namah Shivay" mantra in silence when no one were there around. This is something which probably, even my parents may not be knowing. Eight years back, after settling in Maharashtra, I had visited the temple of Shirdi Sai Baba. Later, one day, I got Shirdi Sai Baba in my dreams. He enlightened me that he is an a

Prince of Aryavrat: A Dawn in the Darkness by Ashis Chirgun.

Image
The Blurb: Finally, the Prince of Aryavrat and Princess of Dravidanchal have had to born with their maximum human attributes to protect humanity. Where there is ambiguity, there is always luminosity. This book takes you on a tour of a million years ago in the utopian period where lives on earth were just sprouting. Selfishness, Jealousy, Lust and Ego, like ethos, were yet to develop in the minds of humans, but the constant fight between Gods and Demons was a matter of great concern for Almighty Supreme Creator.  The consequences resulted in the suffering of innocent humans. From that remarkable event, humanity’s horrific aftermath began. The Ancient, Culturally rich, Land of Great Warriors, Full of Repositories and Mysteries, ‘Aryavrat,’ once had become dystopian in the stain of bloodshed.  The Almighty Supreme Creator had become so concerned with the delicate future of Humans that without God’s interference, humans could not have stood between the frightening God and Demon wars. The P

Thread by J. Franklin Payne.

Image
The Blurb:  Author J. Franklin Payne has crafted a highly entertaining and well thought out work of drama, which reads quickly but has plenty of content from cover to cover. Many speculative elements, which were woven into a plot that is well-grounded, and therefore added to the tension and uncertainty even more. The character development of Kyle Stone is particularly interesting and is intriguing to see how the effects of his time at war gave him fortitude for the challenges that were to face him later in life. In terms of cohesion, one of the best features of the work is its dialogue, which not only gives the cutthroat atmosphere of the boardroom world but also characterizes and delivers plot exposition in a snappy, direct fashion. Thread is a fascinating read which will surely suit readers who love thriller novels with realistic protagonists. Thread is my story, a story like no other, encompassing the thriller and mystery sub-genres. Written for adults due to its complex themes and

The Archons Rise by Brian Sieteski.

Image
The Blurb:  Humanity is under siege, simultaneous attacks of unknown origin against government leaders around the world have shaken society to its core. Foundations such as democracy, rule of law, and long-held alliances will be tested in this stark new reality. This story follows America on its path to take on this never-before-seen global calamity. Beginning with deciding how to rapidly address the vacuum of power to be ready to take action and also bring the culprits responsible for the heinous attacks to justice. The task may be insurmountable as the responsible party possesses unheard of technology, implying the events are otherworldly.  My Take:  The Archons Rise is the 1st book in Humanity's Gauntlet series written by Brian Sieteski and its a book that will take you to a whole new world with a new reality.  I love reading series, as I don't like a book to end :) I like the way the book in a series ends with a cliff hanger or with twists that keeps you at the edge of your

The Outlander War by Mark Piggott.

Image
The Blurb & The Story: It is an island frozen in time and space. For more than 3,000 years, the island of Avalon remained hidden from the outside world; a place of eternal magic, where the descendants of King Arthur ruled over a land filled with magical creatures, Elves, Dwarves, and dragons. The island was only accessible through a rift in the Bermuda Triangle, where mariners and aviators disappeared throughout history. No one believed Avalon was anything but a myth. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the heart of a naval exercise, Avalon suddenly reappeared, causing disruptions on both fronts. The US Navy, now circling the mysterious island, wants answers. On Avalon, they fear Outlanders would intrude on their home; and caught in the middle of it all is Lord Bryan MoonDrake, the Gil-Gamesh of Avalon, Knight Eternal and champion of the magical realm.

The Blurb & The Story:  Fifteen-year-old Jean was born in Zeasia but brought up in Kala Nagari, which is across the other end of the river.
