Dear Friends
            Just about a year after I voluntarily retired from the State Bank of India, to write books and novels to delight the hearts of young and old alike, yesterday one of my books "Tales of the Booga Dooga Land - The Wormus", fully illustrated in colour with 14 Full page illustration, was finally published by "Createspace" which is the Publishing Wing of ww.amazon.com and is right now available at the bookshelves of createspace.com
           The book can be bought online immediately at THE PUBLISHERS ONLINE STORE  https://www.createspace.com/4047216 which contains a short preview of the book with its cover and a brief biography of me also.
           I had the illustrations made by an extraordinary Artist, visualizer and illustrator who is from South Africa, Julie Sneeden, an artist of international repute.
           It is available at the online bookshelves of Amazon.com also . I have given Amazon.com extended publishing rights for the UK where it will be available in Pound Sterling and entire "Europe" also where it will be available in Euros.
          I have also given Amazon  extended publishing rights which will make it available to book sellers/ stores/ libraries  across the US, UK and Europe at the publishers wholesale rates.
         For everyone ACROSS THE WORLD,  including us here in India, we will have to buy it online from the Publishers online bookstore at https://www.createspace.com/4047216 and http://www.amazon.com/ using our credit cards. I ordered 4 copies last night for me, my wife Abha and the kids, and was sad to see that they did not give any free copies even to me the author - times are changing ha ha. The good thing is that I will get royalty even for the books I buy ha ha.
        I do hope you all will buy lots of copies for Christmas and New Year Presents , and really enjoy the books, and definitely read them out with play acting to the kids and grandchildren in your family. Remember to play act the "book reading" for the children, like I did to my children 20 years ago, when I used to think up each chapter and then narrate them to my little daughter and son - they still remember those days, and in a way these stories are the result of their excitement and joy, when the stories unfolded little by little. .      
      Another of my books "Tales of the Booga Dooga Land - Pickwick's Plan" was slightly delayed because the illustrator from Serbia had a serious accident and did not return and so I finally scrapped whatever work had been done by her, and asked Julie Sneeden to illustrate it too - I expect that Pickwick's Plan will be published in the next couple of months. Now you can rush to https://www.createspace.com/4047216 and set the ball rolling.
    With love and laughter and warm wishes enclosed for you, your friends and family
