The Storyteller by Sana Rose.

The Blurb: 

You can sleep through the world, but not through yourself.

A childhood incident she can’t recollect…

A haunting nightmare that jolts her out of sleep…

For Zara, knowing is suffering. Cocooned in the shell she has built around herself, life is all about bare survival until one day she gets an email from The Storyteller… Zara is hooked by his words and hungry for more. But, to her horror, she learns he

knows more about her than she thought. When her step-cousin Zachariah lands after eight years, reviving bittersweet

memories, Zara must face her worst demons. Who is The Storyteller? What does he want from her? What is she afraid of? And why didn’t her mother protect her from the devastating truth about herself?

The Storyteller is a poignant narrative, exploring childhood trauma and the battle of a young woman caught between PTSD and high-functioning normalcy, intertwined with a tale of love, loss, grief, betrayal, pain, and survival.

The Story: 

The story starts up with a girl named Zara who is facing PTSD 

(Posttraumatic stress disorder) of a trauma that she doesn’t even remember. Being distant from everyone and flushing down the pills in the toilet that was given to make her feel normal, was all waste because she never took them but instead pretended to take them and just behaved well. 

So the story begins with the Zara getting an email from an unknown person stating to know her and request to know her better. Being curious and intrigued by his writing way Zara agrees to chat with him under one condition, that she will give him one month to know her after which she wants to know who he is. 

The story continues with Zara’s mother being cold and heartless. With Ryan the stepbrother of Zara, who cared more than he showed. With Zach, a hope for better future and loving person. With Zara a broken girl. With ZR, the storyteller whose identity will shock you. 

So who is this ZR that knows about Zara’s past? Why is Zara‘s mother so cruel? Will Zara be able to feel love and give love in return? Or her past has ruined her future as well? What did happen that left Zara broken? Will she remember?

My Take : 

What would you do if you get an email from a stranger who knows you more than you do? Will you dare to reply to the email? 

The Storyteller is a new book written by the author Sana Rose and it's the most gripping and mysterious book that I loved reading.

I want to start with "wow" what an amazing read. I was truly engaged in the book from the very start and at some point, I was even obsessed to finish it to know what happened next.

This book is filled with love, passion, betrayal, manipulation, PTSD, victimizing, mystery, suspense, traumatizing events, A truly magnificent book.

I like how the author Sana Rose has developed characters and the mystery of who is the storyteller till the end is what makes this book a best seller and a must-read book.

While reading I felt and doubted every character as the mysterious ZR, but the author has smartly overruled everyone. Also, there will be a point when you will realise that you know the mysterious ZR but the author will confuse you with a twists and you will be back at square one of the guessing game.

Apart from suspending the storyline is very gripping and other emotion expressed from PTSD to victimizing, from love to hatred, from innocence to manipulation, from friendship to love, everything is expressed beautifully and with the passion. I really had a great time reading this book and I will recommend others to read as well.

Overall a book that will keep you guessing until the end. So click here and read now The Storyteller the newly released novel written by the author Sana Rose.

Author's Interview with Anmol.

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?

My name is Anmol. I am a Data Scientist with one of the world’s Largest Audit Firms. I am an Engineer by education; an Artist, a Writer and a father by choice.

2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book?

I think it was my work. As a Data Scientist, I am always questioned; can your predictions be made more accurate; and a thought would always pop-up - "It's a Time Traveler can predict better than a Data Scientist." That thought later became an inspiration.

3. What is the book all about?

It's a story of a superhero who can leave his body and travel the universe as a soul. But in the real world, he is just an ordinary human being. He is fighting against a powerful soul-reaper who wants to enslave mankind and can even enter dreams of individuals and manipulate them.

4. Why did you choose this genre for your book?

I believe Astral Travel and Time Travel as scientific concepts may exist someday with a strong influence of mankind as we know it.

5. How much time did it take to complete this book?

It took me 2 Years to conceptualize and another year to write and review.

6. What makes your Book Special?

A construct that may be existing even now and we may not be aware of it. What if I told you that there are people on this planet that can leave their body and travel the universe as a soul, they can travel both forward and backward in time. Some manipulate the world for their own selfish interest & a few devour themselves with the responsibility to harmonize and protect the world. The question is, are you sure such people don’t exist?

7. You mentioned "To be continued" at the end of the book. What is the next book all about?

The Second book "Time Guard - Reborn" is going to be a prequel to the first part. The first part was about the protagonist "Arjun" and his awakening to be a superhero. The second part will be about the main anti-protagonist "Hirath" and how he manipulates individuals in their dreams to work for him.

8. While writing did you get any writer's block? What is the Tip that you will give others who are facing a writer's block?

I did. In fact, several times and the best way to deal with it were to take a break. Completely disconnect from the book. I believe the ideas flow-in when the mind is not stressed. It did work for me and I believe it might work for others in creative fields as well.

9. Apart from being a talented author, what are your other hobbies?

I can sketch with good precision. All sketches in the book are by me.

10. Last but not the least, how did you feel, while giving this interview?

Grateful and Honored.

Author's Interview with Cynthia.

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?

My name is Cynthia and I decided to emigrate to London when I was 23 years old in the pursuit of exploring my ambitions and find myself. Today, six years later, I feel that I know exactly who I am and who I aspire to be. I am now a qualified teacher, which is the career that I love and I am also an author.

2. Congratulations on your book. So what inspired you to write this book?

I have loads of stories written and I knew that one day I would publish a book. But during the lockdown this year I found my diary where I used to vent about some parts of my life in this country. That made me emotional and I wished I could go back in time and give some advice to that fragile and young me, so I decided to grab my laptop to type it all in. I sent drafts to some people to give me feedback, and I realized that it can help young women going through the same situations, to see a similar story from the outside, and reflect about what they would say to that woman, and therefore what they would say to themselves. So, two months later, it became a book. 

3. What is the book all about?

The book is really a diary. We read memoirs and we love it. But this one is exactly what was going on in my head and heart at the time it was written, and I tried my best to keep the original version. It is about a young, messy and loving girl that was struggling to thrive in a country that was all new to her, while living a love story that was consuming her. She loved with all her heart. And that’s okay, because that’s what love should be. But that love was making her blind for everything around her. She couldn’t see how toxic it was, how ‘impossible’ it was, and how bad it was being for her mental health. But still she doesn’t regret it, because she knows it was real and made her grow. It made her discover herself and realise what true love is. It gave her wisdom and courage. It almost made her lose herself, but she found herself instead and learned to love herself more. I talk about it on the third person because I’m not her anymore. That’s a chapter that’s closed, but I’m glad it happened because it made me a better person. 

4. Why did you choose this genre for your book?

Someone told me to rewrite the story in the third person and pretend that it was fiction because it contains many personal things. But I think that readers can connect with the story more when it’s real, so I decided to be brave and publish the real version - an unusual, but beautiful memoir. 

5. How much time did it take to complete this book?

I wrote it during these last six years. However, when I was writing it, it was not a book, but a merely messy diary. When I typed in on the laptop and made the necessary changes, it took me about two weeks. Then, to review it many times, to be proofread by a professional editor, cover decisions and design, it took me about two months to have it completed. 

6. What makes your Book Special?

There are many books that demonstrate ‘forbidden love’ stories that has to do with class or something supernatural, but I have not seen many that shows how culture and religious differences can have a huge impact on the relationships. I believe that it should not be a problem if both are accepting and flexible, but it still happens nowadays. When I was reading my diary, I visualised it as a Netflix movie, and I was immediately sure that many people would relate to it. I think that the fact of being in someone else’s head and be able to make our own judgements about it, makes it special. But also, it is special because it’s real and genuine. I loved that many readers trusted me to share their stories with me and discuss about it openly. That was the goal! It is not a self-help book, but it definitely encourages self-love. 

7. When is your second book coming?

I am already working on it, but as I need to be focused on teaching now and on my new goals, it will take more time to be ready to publish. This time will be fiction, which is something that I am passionate about. I’ve always wanted to be a screen-writer, so who knows? I love where my imagination takes me. 

8. While writing did you get any writer's block? What is the Tip that you will give others who are facing a writer's block?

I didn’t have a block because it was all already on my diary. But I did have times that I had to stop writing because I was feeling loads of emotions and it was making me anxious. It was a process of healing and forgiveness. I don’t know if it happens with every writer that retell their own story, but it takes courage to publish something like that. The tip I would give would be to make a pause, relax, read other books, and find inspiration. Then, when you’re ready, go back and put those thoughts on the paper. There’s no rush. The story will flow when it needs to be. 

9. Apart from being a talented author, what are your other hobbies?

I like to read and sing. Everything that involves music and inspirational words really makes me happy, and you can see in my book that music is really important to me. I also like fashion, things involving social justice and I love being around nature either having ‘Me’ time or with the company of people that I like to be around with. 

10. Last but not the least, How did you feel, while giving this interview?

It was good to rethink about my book after two months of being published. As I moved forward from that chapter of my life, it does not hurt anymore talking about my past, so it is a great feeling! Thank you for allowing me to do this.

Rakshabandhan by Nishtha Shrivastava.

The Blurb: 

“Rakshabandhan is a two-way clear crystal, where a brother named handset stains the beauty of this relationship, little gourav who couldn't even speak was the energy source for Nisha”. Rakshabandhan is a critic of the artificial social frames and sketches the dark reality that changed the life of a little girl Nisha. Rakshabandhan is the most sacred and valued bond between two individuals of the opposite gender and the expectations that are framed from one another are enormous. This story unfolds the battle of a little one from the modern tantrums of a couple, their hardships of being together, and the ignorance that a child faces due to the differences between her parents. The expectations that she keeps from a cousin's brother and the shivering end that brings peace to everybody else’s life and leaves her in a never-ending pain.

The Story: 

The book starts with a heartbreaking separation of 17 years of marriage, even though it was the father's choice for having an extramarital affair, and mothers decision to ask Nisha to follow her father to clear the doubt, that ended up being true, but at the end, it was made it seem like it was all Nisha's fault has it was her who support her mother and confirm her father's affair. Is it fair to blame 16 years old girl for their parent's separation? 

Later the story continues with Nisha learning all the household chores that her father used to do and balancing her studies and compromising on her hobbies, she did her best to support her mother and 2-year-old brother. And on the last day of the school just before the Pre-board exam, her mother informs her that they will not be returning from Allahabad but only for her to give exams. So in 2 days, Nisha has to say her goodbye to her friends and leave behind the city she loves. So what will happen next? How strong is the brother and sister bond? 

My Take:

Ever wonder what a child goes through if their parent suddenly separates? Is it easy to get separated after 17 years of marriage? Is it easy to pick a side a mother or father's even if we don't know the difference between right and wrong? 

Rakshabandhan is the debut novel written by the author Nishtha Shrivastava and this story will take you on an emotional journey of Nisha and her pains. 

While reading the book, I felt all the emotions and pain that the author Nishtha Shrivastava has described, she has done impressive work because all the emotions were written expressively keeping in mind the delicateness of the moments.  

The highlight of the book is the emotions expressed and the writing style of the author which was easy to read and easy to relate to. The character's development from the first chapter to the last, the growth as the storyline moves ahead is done amazingly. The description of the bonds and relationship is accurately written making it feel like a true story.  

Even though its the debut novel of the author, while reading it seemed like, Nishtha Shrivastava is a professional writer as she knew exactly how to describe the things and it's her 4th or 5th book after having a writing experience, but nope. It's her first book and she is a talented and professional writer. 

Overall a perfect blend of emotions and storyline. A highly recommended book. So if you want to know what happened next, then click here and read now the book Rakshabandhan the debut novel written by the author Nishtha Shrivastava.

Sonnet Mahabharata by Siddhesh Joglekar.

The Blurb:

Mahabharata as an epic is an amazing read, whatever the times. But, in the social media age, Mahabharata's narration needs to be adapted. The original Mahabharata written by Maharishi Ved Vyas was in a poetic form, albeit in Sanskrit. The question remained, why can't Mahabharata be written in English in the form of poems? That's where Sonnets came up! Sonnets, 14 line poems, work very well since they roughly fit in a single mobile screen. Bringing these two distinct assets together, an Indian Epic and an English form of a poem, has created this epic called Sonnet Mahabharata.

Sonnet Mahabharata - Book 1 sets the story up and establishes all key characters of Mahabharata. The story begins with the crown prince Devavrata taking a very unusual oath. That starts a chain of events that eventually culminates into the epic called Mahabharata! Here's a sonnet, on what makes Mahabharata an epic that you just shouldn't miss!

At its core, Mahabharata is a tale of ambition, its a tale of sacrifice, its a tale of bravery, its a tale of deception - in short, it's a tale of life itself. It's a tale that teaches you how to conduct yourself in society. It teaches you how to identify the virtues in people. It is almost a mirror to what we find life to be, where things are neither completely white nor black. Each character in Mahabharata had a shade of grey, of course in varying degrees.

Here's why Sonnet Mahabharata is a compelling read - Every sonnet is a fourteen liner poem with less than 100 words. It would take as much time for you to read each sonnet as you take to read a couple of tweets or Instagram photos. Every sonnet is unique, every sonnet unfolds a newer aspect of the story and is equally fascinating.

Observational Spirituality by Anilson.

The Blurb: 

Learning through observation is such a God gifted trait of human beings, that to overlook it as a mere occurrence, might be treated as blasphemous. Then again there are plenty of ways humans learn. We learn from our experiences, we learn by studying, we learn when we are taught by someone or something for that matter. Continuous learning is the never-changing truth of life. Learning is a very subjective phenomenon. Every individual responds to lessons or life-lessons differently. The capacity to learn is very innate to a person. It is a very common occurrence that whenever someone tries to convey some lessons, especially in spiritual parlance, the recipient often feels- that is not new, I already know that. Yet, if we just try to analyze our behavior, we will realize how frequently we deviate from the lessons we learned.

The highlight of the book is the way each chapter has a new meaning, and new thing to learn, to get inspired and the author Anilson has done his best to make this book informative, inspirational, motivational, and interesting to read along with fact. 

The book is a short read and can be done reading in one seating. The book contains natural elements like earth, sun, moon, wind, water, and few more along with life-changing examples that will not only motivate you but will make you see life in a different way. 

I loved reading this unique and inspirational book that the author Anilson has penned with great research and knowledge of his own. Also, I like the reference of the Hindu religion, perfectly balanced within the chapters. 

Overall a truly intriguing and motivational book. Highly recommended by me. So click here and read now Observational Spirituality: A guide to learning Spirituality through Observation the debut book written by the author Anilson.

Seeds Of The Dead is a story about a man at the crossroads, one which will, in turn, jeopardize the very fate of humankind. On one hand, this man supports the creation of GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) to help feed the vast population of the world. But to do so, he must align himself with a nefarious corporation and the corrupt elitists who control it.

Seeds Of The Dead is set against a zombie apocalypse in small-town America, the story’s hero is Peter Malik, a promising young scientist employed by the dubious Moonstar Foods INC. When Peter learns the treachery his corporation is set to unleash upon the unsuspecting masses, he threatens to expose their dark secret by turning whistleblower. The corporation retaliates, contaminating Peter’s hometown with infected food, and turns the people Peter loves most into flesh-eating zombies.

Can Peter save his hometown, his parents, and the woman he adores, plus warn the entire planet of the impending doom?

The Story:

But as the new morning rises and when Peter enters the lab, he finds the cute little rats are all rotting with flesh falling away and elongated teeth along with puss type fluid dripping from their bodies all dead.

To know what exactly happened to them, Peter and his partner start to examine the rat, but just as they cut the rat open, the rat raises from the dead along with others and attracts Peter and his partner, they can't space the lab as the doors are shut closed and the only option is to kill the hideous bloodthirsty rats.
