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 tim...

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...

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 wa...

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 ...

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.
