New title coming soon: Valley of the Rats
Book nerd Krish hates the outdoors, and camping. But especially germs. When Krish and his father, Kabir, take a camping trip to Ladakh, he convinces himself that they will bond, despite their differences.
When they’re lost in a bamboo forest, teeming with black rats, and germs, Krish is at an all-time low. His GF (gut feel) and a couple of rats lead them to a hidden village, Imdura, unmarked on any map.
Krish and his father are allowed to stay, only if they follow rules. But Krish soon realizes the village has an odd custom of worshipping rats. They also have a secret. And so does his Dad. Turns out, Krish has a secret too.
When all the secrets explode into the open, Krish and Kabir are in grave danger. Can Krish overcome his fears and phobias to take the chance offered to him? Or are he and his dad doomed to spend the rest of their lives among rats?

WARNED: The Astrologer's Prophecy
Dear Friends,
Some of you know that I'm working on a new project : EERIE TALES FROM THE EAST.
Here's the blurb for Book 1 in the series:
An astrologer at a local fair predicts that 12-year-old Avi will die a horrible death, but Avi thinks it's superstitious nonsense. Sent to stay with relatives in a remote village while his parents are away, Avi feels trapped in a crumbling mansion with a grandfather he barely knows and his sinister servant.
As, one by one, the astrologer’s dire predictions start to come true, Avi fears his time may be running out. But he's too young to die!
Can he trust Lalita, a social outcast, to help him solve the mystery of the astrologer’s ominous prophecies? Or is he doomed for ignoring the warning?
Thanks to all you lovely readers on my mailing list who have agreed to be a part of my ARC Team. Your honest review, if you have time, would be much appreciated!
The book will be available in Feb 2022 and I will be sending you all a link with the fantastic cover.
In the meantime, feel free to comment or leave your review here.
