My entry for  the Kindle Storytellers' Contest, UK., 2021.

E-book


Dear friends,

Often, the questions that niggle one are "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go henceforth?"

Why these questions keep recurring in one's mind is beyond anyone! But when they do rear their heads regularly, the quest begins earnestly.

To find out more about the answers. To ensure peace. Not only with oneself but with one's milieu.

In this intriguing novel, Dr. Ajoy Mitra is one such troubled soul who is at great pains to unearth secrets. Of the past!

Caught willy-nilly in his life's mission are his clever protégés, Himesh and Shivani. And a host of other enigmatic characters!

Will they succeed in the mission?

Do purchase this suspenseful, thrilling e-book, read it and find out! In case you are a die-hard fan of a hard copy paperback, (Who isn't?), you could opt to purchase one so that you could keep reliving the excitement of reading this thriller all over again. And again...
And share your excitement with your friends too!

Your invaluable, online feedback is eagerly awaited. Needless to say, more the reviews, more my chances of winning! Your support is crucial and most welcome! Thanks in anticipation.

Wow! Wrong Number - An Excerpt

 Excerpt from the story Neighbors in a New City, from my book titled Wow! Wrong Number.

         “You’re so beautiful, Sumedha.  Just like a rose.  Here, I have one for you,” so saying, he thrust a beautiful red rose in front of her face. 

         “You’re disturbing me Sir, please go away” she said through clenched teeth, barely able to contain her rising anger.

          “You’re insulting me Sumedha” he said angrily, his jaw rigid with frustration.  “Just who did she think she was?  The Queen of Sheba?”

         “I have had enough of your lecherous comments and innuendoes.  Please leave me alone, or else I’ll inform my husband and your wife about your unacceptable behavior.”

         “Go ahead.  Let’s see who will believe you!  My wife?  Not a chance.  Your hubby?  No way.  There is no way you’ll even dare to tell him about me.  I know that the tables will turn on you only!”

         Trust him to know how a male would react to such news!  They all were equally obnoxious.  It still was a man’s world! 

   End of Excerpt
