Agnimalya is a book of stories, each month this book is gifted to my patrons in patreon and it contains all types of stories, some are illustrated but most are not. This one is all about stories. This book was shared in pieces in patreon, now it is here as a full book. It is a story about true love, the way a matured adult loves another person I believe. It is not about physical side of love though. Don’t be confused by the name please! You won’t see much of that in my works are almost always about psychological, spiritual or mental side of love. I wonder if you will enjoy this one. Drop me a line! Tell me what you thought of it! agnimalya book 7 an adult love story https://shoptly.com/i/p2b

Agnijaat is an English, monthly Ezine, an outlet to hyperactive muse of its creator Miss Sharmishtha Basu. This Quarterly will give you a half hint about the usual monthly Ezines but it contains only part of the spectrum of the monthly issues. This is a series I am quite enjoying creating, it is a set of works based on specific themes in each month, and this quarterly contains 12 sets of them. I have kept the price minuscule because selling these books is obviously my goal, attempt but not only goal behind creation. You will get lot of illustrations, poems, stories, thoughts in this quarterly. Drop me a line after reading them! Agnijaat Book 6, 25she boisakh 1425 https://shoptly.com/i/pvo

Coming Kingdom July 2018 Critique By Troy David Loy @ https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy To read it you will have to become my patron in patreon: https://patreon.com/sharmishthabasu or directly buy it from me ($1.00) from https://paypal.me/sharmishthabasu The story of Kingmaker concludes with this issue, with quite a hammer-blow of an ending! K’s empire and minions reap what they’ve sown after years of successful crime and vice. ========== Coming kingdom is for the patrons only book, it contains my upcoming novels, piece by piece, sort of trying to entice my patrons into sharing their invaluable opinions about the pieces so i can modify the novels! writing alone can get boring if the story is long! It just wrapped up a very long story “Kingmaker”, I have been working on it since 2010 I think, or maybe 2009, needed some discipline to wrap it up and publish it. It’s phase 2 will be up but partly, not the entire novel. I sincerely hope to see you there! The stories of this book

The mood depends on the stories included- that is- they are unpredictable! I try to make them as versatile as possible and sometimes throw in some flash-fictions lavishly illustrated for you! You will have to check out a few copies to get the feel. But just as I said I try to add all genres but not in the same copy, and I don’t really stick to one genre in one book mostly, maybe I will in future, but

I rather enjoyed these, and the paintings were a nice touch. Sharmishtha  basu’s pen and brush price: $1 SBPnB is a book of illustrations mainly. As you can guess from the name the priority has been given to the illustrator inside me! I love to paint and this is the book through which I am sharing my paintings with you.

Agnishatdal Shraban 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy @ https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Agnishatdal Shraban 1425 https://shoptly.com/i/rop G’day! Here is this month’s review of Agnishatdal and of the coolness within its pages! Let’s start with…. Let us begin …. Our virtual trip to India: Lovely digital painting, this one, of a woman, or perhaps goddess, bedecked in fiery blossoms and garbed in red. I like the balance of colors and proportions, along with the background shades, even without the anti-aliasing. Shraddharghya – Homages: Beautiful balance of flesh tones and blue with this one. The objects in hand seem to be blue seedpods, flowers, or perhaps small butterflies! Prafulla Chandra Roy: A scientist this one was, a chemist no less, and a great one at that. Good that he achieved so much in his life, despite chronic health problems and financial woes early on. That is inspirational. Subhash Chandra Bose: I’ve heard of this man in a course on Indian history I took some

Agnijaat Shraban 1425 Critique https://shoptly.com/i/rov By Troy David Loy @ https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Hello! I bid you welcome to this month’s critique of Agnijaat! Indie Author Speaks 12 — Goodreads: I too spend far too little time on Goodreads, either to update my book challenge or to manage my Author page. Perhaps soon, after September…. Passwords are not that safe: Beware the powered-down computer left unattended! I’d add that this is particularly a problem when the password is written down, easy to remember, or is not kept in a locked safe or truly secret place by the owner! Unemployment the demon — 6: The Authoress discusses the theft of wages by rich employers in business, aided and abetted by government after a little greasing of the palms. India THEN: Hamida Banu: This, then was the mother of a great emperor who worked hard to raise her son. it’s said that behind every great man there is a woman, often most importantly one’s mother. Akbar was certainly no e

From corruption by evil forces, to love in a couple’s later years, love ignored by the uncaring, even the rescue of a young boy by dolphins, and the joy brought by an autistic man’s songs, There are stories here from a wide range of characters and genres, and all of them a quick read.

Mostly background narrative, it’s an interesting look into the workings of K’s “business enterprises.” ========== Coming kingdom is for the patrons only book, it contains my upcoming novels, piece by piece, sort of trying to entice my patrons into sharing their invaluable opinions about the pieces so i can modify the novels! writing alone can get boring if the story is long!

Tricked into going to another world, the faerie reveals her true nature, just before Tiasa meets a young boy named Jishnu. With Jishnu and Tiasa trapped in the other world, they plan their escape back to Earth, and freedom. They do, or think they do, meeting Devangi, the story concludes when they use their combined wills to journey back to Earth, and to Meghgarh, safe and sound, to the joy of their families. A fitting conclusion to this story!  

 Agnishatdal Ashar 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy : https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy So, let’s take at look at this month’s issue of Agnishatdal Let us begin…. Our virtual trip to India This image shows a pair of young women in differing but recognizably Indian dress and hairdos. This is pretty cool, as it shows some of the interesting contrasts in Indian styles, and how difficult it is to generalize on those styles once you know a little more about them! Shraddarghya – Salutations Nice image this one, and I’ll take some space here to wish a happy birthday to both Raghunandan, the twin eZines, and the Authoress herself! She has a fractal birthday card heading her way this month! Matangini Hazra Such persistence and bravery to be combined in the same person is a rarity, but to have these in such a dangerous time for revolutionaries makes for a truly outstanding woman! Michael Madhusudan Dutta It amazes me that such lyrical versatility existed at any one point in time in the

Agnijaat Ashar 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://troythulu.net Welcome! Lets go through some major points in this issue of Agnijaat for1425! Indie Author Speaks 11 — Duotrope Advice here on a website that provides various publishing services. I’ll poke around on the site myself this month, and see what I can find. From the Quill of Femme Sole* Here’s a cute little digital painting of a girl trying to talk above the howling and barking of naughty dogs. Methinks there may be some symbolism here, some social commentary, given the text. Unemployment the Demon — 5 Looking for a job? Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join my political party! The authoress discusses the downside of civic engagement and its role in getting a government job — in exchange for your MIND and SOUL! India THEN: Birbal Here’s a man who served Emperor Akbar, even died in his service, but never seems to have lost his favor because of a good mix of loyalty and wits. I would be terrified to get into a c

Living your own life: An older woman admonishes a younger one to be her own guide in experiences, thought, and action. The ghoul: An older man instructs a a younger man in the art of gainful manipulation to marry women for their dowries. The infestation: A tired and harried woman converses with her reflection, learning that she must part herself from the source of her tiredness, even with the pain freedom will cause in the short term.

With brief dialogue between K and Shankar Das Ghelot, the entrapment and corruption of young girls into willing seductresses is discussed. A bit light on action, but lots of detail on those aspects of how K’s network operates.

Red Butterfly: Tiasa spends some time in her grandma Rudrani’s kingdom, even going to a local school, and is learning the ways of a royal princess. She asks permission to explore the grounds of the palace’s outer fortress, and prepares to go out the next day. But more children of the kingdom have disappeared, and worry is pervasive… Bag of Goof: Young Mishtu and Prakrit hear a ghost story from their grandma, of their late grandpa’s discovery long ago, of a lair of evil chupacabras at a Mayan dig site, with fearsome consequences!

Agnishatdal Jyeshtha 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy So, from deep within the vowels of the earth, with cacophonous consonants, and a dash of slightly mad punctuation, here is this month’s critique! Enjoy! Kazi Nazrul Islam: A true iconoclast in an era of colonial domination, and an innovator of poetic works. His vast number of songs alone would serve to make his mark on the world! Manna Dey: Here is an award winning singer worth checking out! It’s rare when someone’s voice is considered the gold standard for performance, but not unexpected given his uncle! Stories reflections and thoughts* Here, a young girl combs the shore for shells, an oyster with pearl nearby – Nice balance of colors with this one. The Black Queen piece 6 Nguyen warns his friend, Lieutenant D of the Black Queen’s approach. Preparations for combat are made with D’s garrison and the villagers, but surprises are in store… How fate was outwitted 2 The Guru’s wife is giving

Agnijaat Jyeshtha 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy So, from the screaming heights of random wordplay, sentence wrangling, and the spelling-shocked war-zone of consonantal conflict, I give you this critique! Window to India* Lovely digital painting this time, with what appears to be a lake or river with a bird perched on a flowering plant of some kind (My botany is incredibly rusty, as I haven’t really brushed up on plant species since boyhood.) on the nearside shore. I love the mix of color here, and the definition of form used. Indie Author Speaks 10 – Scheduling I concur with the authoress on this. The biggest pain, and subsequent worry at times is scheduling a post, only to have an error in text or links, or lacking a needed update to time sensitive information, especially when I have to be away from my devices and can’t just log in and update the entry before it publishes. Grrr! From the Quill of Femme Sole* I’m not sure what to make of th

I find that the authoress’ poetry comes throughclearer and more evocative when offset with her own digital paintings. Good stuff! Sharmishtha  basu’s pen and brush price: $1 SBPnB is a book of illustrations mainly. As you can guess from the name the priority has been given to the illustrator inside me! I love to paint and this is the book through which I am sharing my paintings with you. Sometimes you will get them with quotes, sometimes with poems or flash fictions. But whatever will be there the size of the words will be quite short, so that each post’s length is one page. Sometimes they may get longer but not necessarily!

Here are outlined the means they use to gain such power, and ways of keeping a low profile.

End of story. An Adult Love Story, 4 The missing Rakhi has been found by her lover! But there is much that she must recover from after her ordeal of torture and seclusion by her captors! Red Butterfly: One Young Tiasa is going to visit her grandmother in a faraway kingdom in the Himalayas, while strange goings on in the tiny kingdom of Megharh spell danger – children are disappearing at an alarming rate, and no one can pinpoint the kidnappers! Buddhu A magical talking fawn watches events on Earth, dismayed at the cruelty of human bein

Agnishatdal Biosakh 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Well, here’s a few thoughts on the eZine at the dawn of BS 1425. Funny how months go by so fast! Ishwar Chandra Bidyasagar: A good tribute to a great reformer, this one. The suffering he alleviated with his advocacy of social causes and concern for the poor and distressed shows me that there is hope for the human species. Not necessarily grounds for optimism, but hope. Jagadish Chandra Bose: Here was a good scientist, and one with a love for teaching others as well. I might add to this by noting that he was also the father of Bengali science fiction, having written Niruddesher Kahini (The Story of the Missing One) in 1896. The Black Queen: piece 4 Brieuc’s tale continues, with the revelation to Nguyen of an old . . . foe? The titular Black Queen looms threatening in her domination of local waterways. What will Nguyen do to protect his village? How fate was outwitted 1: A young boy bec

Agnijaat Boisakh 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Bah! It’s already 1425! So here is the critique for Boisakh’s issue! Ready, set…. ….Go! Indie Author Speaks 9 – Scheduling Sound advice for those in need of blogging time, especially with posts readymade for scheduling! Unemployment the demon – 3: Here’s a commentary on societal and governmental corruption, including some ideas on resolving it. Happiness Skills…. Skill 22: Here the authoress discusses stalking, otherwise known as “seeing love without real evidence that it is actually there.” Seriously, guys, don’t do this if you don’t want to be deemed a danger to others and locked up. It’s creepy as f***. India THEN: A pic of an ancient Indian, possibly a scribe, priest, or other scholar of some king’s court. India THEN: Aurangzeb A discussion of one of the strictest of the Mughal emperors, reputedly one of the least popular and allegedly a failure when it came to effectively and justly ruli

The annual edition this year does not contain anything from the monthly issues. It is a collection of poetries.  I had some really good time writing them. Hope you will enjoy reading them! These are from the phase which became my launch-pad in writing and painting world. Whole credit goes to Jingle, her group became my regular readers and showered me with their beautiful compliments. That in turn woke the writer inside and I truly doubt if it would have happened had Jingle not shown up in my insignificant world. If you enjoy the works of this book thank Jingle for them http://jinglepoetry.blogspot.com/ As for my other books you can check them out in my store in Shoptly https:/

Wish you all a very blessed 2019! Happy new year!
