About My Mother Called Me Unni – A Doctor’s Tale of Migration by Dr. Venugopal K. Menon

It is often said that geography is destiny. My Mother Called Me Unni is the story of one man who left his homeland and his family in the 1960s to find his own destiny in the melting pot of the United States. The book was written by Dr. Venugopal Menon and published by Outskirts Press.
Beginning in the late 1960s, hundreds of thousands of people migrated to the U.S. from India, including thousands of physicians. Today, Indian Americans are the wealthiest and most educated minority group in the country. What drove them to leave their homeland? What values and experiences did they bring with them? And how are they transforming America?
Out of enigmatic experiences comes this surprising yet uplifting portrait of life, narrated by Dr. Venugopal Menon, who draws upon his cherished childhood in India and the teachings of his ancient heritage to question, understand, and ultimately assimilate into his new country, an exhilarating realization of the American Dream. This book is essential reading for every migrant who left the land of their birth in search of a different destiny, and for those who are curious to know what that’s like.
Venugopal Menon was born into a large, middle-class traditional Hindu Nair family in Kerala, India. Raised during the pre-independence years of British India, he witnessed the country gaining its freedom and the establishment of a Democratic Republic. Even with limited economic resources during the global depression, the hardship in his life was easily overshadowed by the abundance of love he received. His memoir details his happy childhood, with all its colorful festivals and traditional rituals.
The author, receiving his first pair of shoes in the sixth grade and having to use kerosene lamps before electricity came to his house, moved on to America and became the president of a nationally reputable medical clinic and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Physicians, London. As he settled in a life of luxury and prosperity, he also played a significant role in creating a standing for the Indian community in society. The narration covers the discrimination he faced in the USA, as well as amusing stories of getting familiar with the local customs and trying to become Americanized.
Venugopal established his status as a highly regarded physician, became part owner of a thriving practice, lived in a luxurious, custom-built home in a desirable neighborhood, and his children excelling in education. Then he decided to forsake all such affluence to move back to India, to be of service to the needy patients and put his foreign training to use.
The story gets complex as he earns a national standing in a newly established, eminent hospital system in India, with patients coming to see him from all over the country and his parents and large spread of family members close at hand. But due to extenuating circumstances, he is once again forced to abandon all those gains and go back to the place he thought he had left for good. And fortunately his old practice embraces him with open arms.
The book continues with his re-establishment in America, tying up all loose and lost ends, getting elected as president of the clinic for eight years before he retires. During his second inning, he becomes intimately involved in numerous social, cultural, religious, and philanthropic endeavors of the Indian community as well as of the mainstream.
The conclusion elaborates on his seven decades in different continents, about his professional, family, and social obligations, and how his life may have affected others. In his introduction, he laments his decision to leave India: “And it took several decades and intense introspection before the impact sunk in, of my role and responsibility in that act, of tearing away from our centuries-old genetic bond and its implied immensity.” But he concludes with a gracious note: “As an individual, I have remained eternally grateful to receive a life that has rewarded me with a sumptuous treat. I am convinced that I cannot ask for more or expect more, as I stay ultimately comfortable with the assurance. I am content. I am blessed.”
What makes this book unique, informative and interesting!
It is one of the first such publications from over 2.5 million Indians who have chosen the USA as their domicile.
It is the story of perhaps the ‘most educated, most successful and the most industrious’ group of migrants in the history of America.

The author Venugopal Menon was born as the eldest of seven children into a conventional Hindu family in the pre-independent, colonial India.

As a nine-year-old, he witnessed India gaining independence from the British. After graduation, he volunteered and served the Indian army during the Chinese invasion.
With responsibility to support his parents and younger siblings, but being ambitious to gain higher education, he left India, spent a year in Scotland before arriving in the United States.

About Letters to My Love at First Sight by Amanda Marks

Amanda Marks has just experienced a Love at First Sight (LAFS). The object of her adoration is the charming Attorney Jacob Meyers, whom she met during a juror interview. Jake has fallen for her, too (so the evidence shows). But Jacob is a high-profile litigator, very married into high society, and Amanda is, well, a Certified Loser Female (self-titled), who’s seriously partnered with the unemployed, “very OK” Louis. She and Jacob go their separate ways, but one huge problem remains for Amanda: She can’t stop thinking about him. To handle this obsession, she writes therapeutic letters to Jake. Her daily writings help her navigate through life challenges and relationships with friends, parents, coworkers, a faux mother-in-law (MIL)…and her occasional run-ins with Jacob, who still seems attracted to her. (But he does NOTHING. So typical.) Can Amanda’s letters work a cosmic magic and bring her beloved LAFS to her? Yeah, sure, that happens all the time in real life. But you never know.

Author Bio:
I was born in Denmark on a dark and stormy night in November 1976. I began writing when I was a teenager. My first book was a really awful horror novel titled Nidhug’s Slaves. It didn’t get published. Luckily.

During the next 7 years, I wrote nearly 20 novels–all of which were rejected–while working as a school teacher. The rest of the time I spent writing.

In 2000 I published my debut fantasy book, The Battle of Caïssa, and that’s when things really took off. Since then I’ve published more than thirty-five books for children and young adults in genres ranging from fantasy to horror and science fiction.

My books have been translated into more than 15 languages and my series about the superhero Antboy has been adapted for film, which is available on Netflix. An animated tv series is currently in development.

A musical of The Devil’s Apprentice opened in the fall 2018 and the movie rights for the series have also been optioned.

I live in Copenhagen with my wife, two boys, a dog named Milo and spiders in the basement.

About I See Nothing But the Horrors of A Civil War by Alexander Cain

It is commonly stated history is written by the victor and the American Revolution is no exception. As a result of the rebel triumph in the War for Independence, loyalists historically have been placed in a negative light. In countless works and popular culture, loyalists have been portrayed as inept people whose blind faith to the English crown led to their downfall. Unfortunately, such an erroneous stereotype only trivializes the struggles of the American loyalist.

In 2014, Author Alexander Cain released the first edition of “I See Nothing But the Horrors of a Civil War.” Now, five years later, this acclaimed book has been rewritten to reflect the recent discovery of countless new historical documents, town records and historical artifacts.

This is the story of the men, women and children from New York and New England who chose to remain faithful to the Crown and fought as part of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers during the Saratoga Campaign of 1777.

For the first time, Cain carefully outlines the political, social, religious and economic motivations to remain faithful to the Crown. I See Nothing But the Horrors of a Civil War also reconstructs the role of the American loyalist who served with McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers during the Burgoyne Invasion. Finally, the role of loyalist refugees is brought to light. Cain carefully recounts the daily struggles of female loyalists, as well as the hardships experienced by exiled loyalists who were forcibly confined to Canadian refugee camps.

In 1553, England is torn apart by religious conflict. Power shifts precariously between Catholics and Protestants, royalty and commoners clash, testing friendship, loyalty and brotherly love.

Richard Fitzwarren, caught in the middle of a cruel family feud, wants nothing more than to make his own way in the world. A childhood friend of the Princess Elizabeth, he cannot forget his loyalty in her time of need. Pressured by her sister, Mary, Elizabeth’s continued existence remains precarious throughout her reign. The divide between Catholic Mary and Anne Boleyn’s Protestant daughter Elizabeth is a deep one.

About All Quiet on the Midwestern Plains by Dorothea Shefer-Vanson

It is 1985 and Israeli paleontologist, Avi Samuels, takes his family to spend a sabbatical year at Seabrook, a sleepy university town in the American Midwest. He is surprised to find that the head of the department displays a negative attitude toward him. Eventually he discovers that the headquarters of the American Nazi Party, known as the Brotherhood, are situated nearby, and that a plot is being hatched to cause destruction to property and harm certain individuals. The head of the department, who is a member of the Brotherhood, is having an affair with Nancy, the wife of Tom Friedman, a faculty member who is Avi’s friend and neighbor. Avi’s own wife, Rachel, falls in love with Duane, the art teacher at the local community college, and moves in with him. After a series of adventures, incidents and the need to contend with the inhospitable climate of Nebraska, Avi decides that in order to save his family and his academic reputation he must return to Israel. He does this after presenting his ground-breaking findings at the departmental seminar, and managing to foil the plot of the Brotherhood.

About Crush the System

In this fortunate book the author, with metaphors and easy examples recovered from pop culture and everyday life, opens the eyes of the reader with a simplicity as disarming as it is effective. The Western civilization system is described from the perspective of those who have been a cog for a long time, like any other individual, but who has decided to get out of it: the mechanisms of a system limiting the freedom and will of the human being are criticized , which does not matter who set it … It matters that there is and that it acts in a widespread way over all.
The book does not stop at criticism, nor expires in the conspiracy: it is set in a way that causes reflections to the reader in a sober, thoughtful and reasonable way. More importantly, with a light and fluid style it offers practical tools to get out of the system of which, whether we like it or not, we all belong!

About Alien Secrets by A M Thomas

On a failed mission to look for a secret weapon, Shom Reuel of the Kestrel saves a man – twice. He looks human, apart from the lump on his forehead. It seems everyone wants him, but is he a friend or a deadly enemy? And will the shock of his identity cause Reuel to reveal his people’s greatest secret?

On the way the crew have to deal with space battles, smugglers and fighting colonists. All while trying to fulfil two different missions. And they are one crewman short, which is a lot for a crew of eleven. How will they cope if they lose any more crew?

Writing poetry and making up stories since she was a child, Ann only began to write for publication when her children left home. Her ambition was to write science fiction, but, fascinated by Swansea Castle and distracted by a major stroke she researched local history, an interest that culminated in the publication of her first book Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth, a local history book told as a story, at Easter 2012. Early retirement gave her more time to concentrate on her writing.

During her stroke recovery she wrote poetry, which she published as My Stroke of Inspiration in August 2015, a surprisingly cheerful collection. She is still writing science fiction, a series called Flight of the Kestrel, and the first book Intruders was published in April 2016. The second, Alien Secrets, was published in October 2018. There are now 5 history books and 3 science fiction books, and counting…
