REVEIWS OF SCARRED FOR LIFE,HEALED FOREVER BY ASHWATI MENON

                                          Picture



About The Author: Ashwati Menon, though, is a native of Kerala, is born and brought up in Gujarat. Writing came early in life and started writing at young age of 8 years. The journey began with short poems and hence on, it has been an upward climb towards trying new style of writing. Currently, she is working in IT Software Company as a Project Manager and has three years of work experience. Education included a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Computers. Her favorite hobbies include reading, dancing and playing guitar. Also, she has published her first novel under the author name "Anita Raghav" titled "Let Me Sleep!"






First of all, Hats off to the writer for being brave enough to choose this genre.
Totally new and alien concept for many of us.
She had tried her best to make the world understand the power of brain and the unsolved mysteries inside it with the story line.
How your brain can work so efficiently, adjusting in every circumstances can be seen in the story.
                       
The cover design of the book is up to the mark justifying the title. However the title seems little odd at first, but when you go through the story it justifies itself at the end.



The scientific words that are mentioned in the story are well carved with storyline.
A glossary is provided at the ending of the book to get familiar to the words mentioned in the story which gained a plus point for  the book.
It’s a story about a girl named "Nishtha" who survives a natural calamity, thousands of kilometers away from her home in Australia.
She loses love of her love “Andrew” and her two soul friends in that calamity.
The story tells you about how Nishtha survives the trauma of that calamity with the power of her mind and gets a natural power to know things before they might actually happen.
The concept is very new.
The synchronization of the chapters could have been done better.

If you are tired with same repeated love stories then please pick this book, I bet  it will take you to a new world!
Overall a good read!
 I would have rated it 3.5 out of 5, but for the concept it earned a half star more.
So I give 4 out of 5.
Happy reading :)

REVIEW OF HEAVEN CONSPIRES





















 Firstly, I would like to congratulate the author for writing such a masterpiece.

HEAVEN CONSPIRES by prity subramanyam is a well-patched story about faith and trust on the Almighty.
It’s perfectly woven into words.The special note says it all.
A girl named Mehr, living in the tribal part of Himalaya’s calls for help to the protagonist Nathan who lives thousands of miles apart from her.
How Nathan comes to an unknown land and gets amazed by finding connections between him and the persons he meet.

The flow of the novel is just near perfection. The best example of this is the story telling by both the protagonists simultaneously without breaking the flow.
It's indeed a great effort from an Indian writer to write suspense- thriller.
The story telling indeed needed deep thinking.
But as the writer herself says it took seven years. 
After all, Rome was not built in a day.
The book will leave you bewildered at some places.
At times, it’s hard to believe the coincidences happening in story but overall, it has a good combo of words and storytelling make it worth.
One of the best book for intellectual readers.          
The things used like past life regression, telepathy and paranormal science will make one believe in the power of faith in god.


I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

INTERVIEW WITH JONALI KARMAKAR











                          
                      
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Jonali Karmakar is a fiction writer and editor with a Masters in English. Writing is not just her passion but her way of dealing with life. She loves being able to escape into the worlds she creates. Everything that she writes becomes a part of her and she wants her readers to know the woman behind those words. She published her first poem while still in high school. Her short stories have found their place in several anthologies. Before turning to writing full time she looked after one of their many family businesses and prior to that she worked as a Medical Transcriptionist. She has been associated with a cause where she taught English to underprivileged kids. Currently she spends most of her time writing and when she isn't doing that, she's either painting or keeping a keen eye on the stock market.  She is an avid reader and loves flipping pages of anything and everything on the table. She feels that reading and writing are the flip sides of the same coin. Writing is her way of communicating with the world.











Let us know more about her.



1) Is there a key person that has inspired you in the process of writing?

  •     Not exactly. I think directly or indirectly all the writers that I read as a child inspired me to write.

         

2) Describe the role books played in your own life?

  •     I was an introvert as a child and as such books were my best companion. They were my escape and my solace. 

      3) Tell us something about your story in 31 sins?

  •     Burning bridges is about a man who has been lied to ever since he could remember. Revelations break him beyond repair and his life falls apart. The sins of the parents always visit the children and that is what happens to Diptesh, the protagonist.



      4) Any message which you will like to give to the readers via your story?

  •    Lies beget more lies.



     5) Any specific tips you have for new Authors who want to make it in the publishing Industry?

  • I’m learning the ways of the publishing industry myself. I feel one should write not for the sake of getting published but for the sheer satisfaction that writing provides.

          6) There are so many Anthologies around. Why to go for “31 SINS”?

  • Certainly there is an abundance of anthologies in the market but “31 SINS” is different because of its theme. Writing about sin isn’t easy because it shows a different facet of life; a facet we are not comfortable to explore. “31 SINS” has dared to do just that.



      7) What genre do you particularly like?

  •   I’m eclectic when it comes to genre.

      8) What are some of the things you like to do when you’re not writing?

  • I like to read and occasionally paint.

      9) “Every one of us is a sinner in some way or other” in these situation how you get out of that regret? Or what one should do to move on with life?

  • Regrets are like lifetime achievements. They never really leave us. But with time we learn to steer clear of the feeling sometimes by trying to rectify our mistake and at other times by neglecting it.



     10) How is the experience with NUMERIQUE PUBLICATIONS till now?

  •   It has been great working with NUMERIQUE  PUBLICATIONS and I’d love to be associated with them even in the future.

     11) How does it feel being an author?

  •   Being an author is what I’ve always wanted. It feels amazing living the dream.



         12) What is your least favourite part of the writing process?
  •    Absolutely nothing. The least favorite part comes later- looking for the right publisher.    



THANKS JONALI FOR SPARING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME. I WISH 31 SINS GOES TO THE “BEST SELLER” LIST SOON.

Thank you as well.
