Lucifer's liegemen- Kingmaker https://www.amazon.com/dp/b0876w7xbw Lucifer’s Liege-men aka Kingmaker will be published on 26th April, will share the url after that. This book will cost quite a bit more than my usual books, hope that wont bother you! It will cost you $5.00 but I will reduce the price on its first anniversary I promise! Kingmaker is a story I have written for years and then kept it in hold to work more on it, now I am rewriting it but I believe the original is absolutely worth publishing. It is a reality based crime story, pretty grim and realistic. It is fantasy version of Charon, it is purely fictional but most of it is based on actual criminal activities and my own guesses about the probable reasons behind things that happened to me. I can’t say it is enjoyable but I do hope it will make you ponder over many things, the same things that triggered this novel. K and his faithful servants are spread all over the world

Agnimalya November 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy https://patreon.com/sharmishthabasu Justice Rumi meets a stranger who regularly attends her performances, a mysterious man who seems quite smitten with her. He seems rather odd, not the typical bar customer, but polished and cultured, and has an unusual request: to read the diary of a woman dead by her own hand after the schemes of another! But is this man truly fallen for her, or is there some other motive? Would like to see a follow-up story where the motive plays out! Kamal Kamal is deceived by promise of marriage to another, another who has no intent to fulfill said promise. Her pregnancy from this sham results in a daughter. She returns to her hometown an outcaste from society and years later, leaves to marry elsewhere. What of her daughter, many years later? She’s met by Medha, who knew Kamal, and a marriage between the daughter, Sujata, and Medha’s son is arra

Farce in the name of justice by saptarchi : Well, speak truth in modern world and pay the price like Jesus Christ did, only you won’t be resurrected! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 2: I just love this story! It is so much fun to read Brian’s works, he is one hell of a writer! When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Poor fellow, well, my guess is that guy is alive and boy, to have both your ears nicked by someone like that!

The ezine begins with a tribute to Bal Gangadhar Tilak, I of course have heard his name again and again but knew very little about him, glad to know a bit more! Farce in the name of justice by saptarchi : These days speaking truth openly is like putting your hand in a pit filled with rattle snakes. You may or may not get bit! Good and effective way of crushing wannabe whistle-blowers! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 2: Mr. Onraet is a great storyteller, well, we are inside the laboratory and it sounds like Genesis, angels are creating human-kind! Let us see if I am right or not!

Agnijaat Jyeshtha 1427, May 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnijaat Jyeshtha 1427, May 2020 https://shoptly.com/i/ba39 https://gumroad.com/l/hDECQ Well corona is getting more and more comfortable in the country with each passing week, so, we can quite guess now that we will have to get used to its existence for a few years at the least! What a pity! In the end nature showed again she can snuff us out anytime any day! Indie Author Speaks 12 : I too wish I had read this article when I was in school. It truly is a good way to motivate yourself to keep a tab on your goals, distribute them in weekly, monthly and annual categories and then see what you have done with them at the end of each period, or a little before ending! FTQFS : I really don’t believe that every human being is worthy or capable of love. So romance should be targeted and it should be handled with decency.

Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! hisab by Labanya: What a poem! Don’t we all throw away diamonds and gather pebbles once in a while and then regret! Farce in the name of justice by saptarchi : These news items only see the real India of lately, hypocrisy blown away. This country has no place for righteous, honest and innocents! They will be destroyed sooner or later! The evil, corrupt and unscrupulous will flourish! For how long I wonder! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet: A terrific story has began, this is the first story I read in Brian’s blog and absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to share it with you all! I do hope and pray this book when Bri

Agnishatdal Boisakh 1427 April 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Labanya Agnishatdal Boisakh 1427, April 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/cOBGS https://shoptly.com/i/95f Hi friends, let us begin! The ezine begins with a tribute to Lal Bahadur Shastri, I am quite an admirer of this man with grits, and am pretty sure that he was murdered. Farce in the name of justice by saptarchi : These are the news items that make conscientious people without the heart of Mother Teresa wish human beings are wiped out of earth for good! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet: Mr. Onraet is a great storyteller, and an interesting mytho-sci-fi is in making I think. The names of the characters at least hint that! What is inside that lab? Vikrama aur betala by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Smart sculptor. Power mostly corrupts so it is smart to stay away from power-plays for your own sake! Great story Mr. Kuppuswamy! Gardens of Sarusammo

Well, it began in lockdown and hope and I pray it will end better, far better than the way it began! Wish you all a very happy Bangla Nabobarsho-Bengali New Year. Indie Author Speaks 12 : Good tips for Indie authors. Being Indie author is not all about independent right on what one can publish, it is also a solid responsibility too! Quite solid I will say! FTQFS : Oh yes, the way human beings express their lust and label it as “love” is insult to the feeling! If it could I am sure it would have committed suicide! Techbabble : I so agree, I am still one of those who prefer a book, newspaper over online reading or offline reading. I do wish they will find a substitute of

Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Ateet by Labanya: Fantastic poem, haunting and beautiful. Glory days by saptarchi : A question that haunts so many of us, will Bengal ever shine again, chances look slim with each passing day though! Apparently whoever sits on throne of Bengal becomes Ravana for sure! Masai by Brieuc Martin Onraet: Finally the story concludes with a set of photographs that makes me envious, Brian you have had a wonderful life! Thank you for sharing these with us!

The ezine begins with a tribute to Kalidasa, I have read Bengali translation of few of his works and he was one of those writers that made me ache to learn Sanskrit well enough to understand his works! Life had other plans! He is as famous as Shakespeare is in English world and equally or more revered. I have read his biography too, reading one more time is quite alright for me! Glory days by saptarchi : S speaks out for so many of us through his/her works! What have these politicians done to you Bengal! The glory of India past! Masai by Brieuc Martin Onraet: Not at all fond of hunters, unless of course they fight with bare hands! So this month’s piece was not fun at all, loved the pix though! Mr. Onraet certainly have live
