About Reluctant Technophiles: India’s Complicated Relationship with Technology

The past was glorious.

A future disrupted by technology is almost here.

But India still awaits its technology-based prosperity.

With deep-rooted inequalities, disinformation and corruption running through the veins of the Indian society, it’s hypocritical to pretend that technological solutions can solve all our problems. We are also relatively unprepared for the genuine challenges technology presents. While the benefits of technology are numerous, the challenges have the potential to magnify existent biases, exacerbate social and economic inequality, and break the social fabric.

Reluctant Technophiles: India’s Complicated Relationship with Technology sheds light on what technology can solve and what it can’t. Drawing from the discussions of ancient religious text, quantum computing, Greek mythology and current events, the book tries to find the sweet spot at the intersection of technology, policy and society.

About This Book Will Save Your Life: How the dead and engineers saved lives

The title of this book is a bit daring – This Book Will Save Your Life. So, you’re probably expecting me to throw around some pathetic words in this book such as – if you don’t wear a seat belt, you’re not worthy to be called a driver. No. That rubbish doesn’t work. It has never worked. Let’s remember what a social ad looks like about car safety “Live longer – buckle up” … “Afterwards is too late” … “Never give up till they buckle up”.

In the U.S., the fines range from $10 to $250 depending on the State, and there are some other sayings from the campaigns like “I pledge to make every arrival a safe arrival”. This book won’t do any of that, I’ll just tell you without pathos, moral lectures, or complicated choices. Plus, I’ll make it interesting. And at the end, it’s up to you, you are all free people to choose. All I ask of you is to read this book and you will find out:
How and under which circumstances did the first fatalities on public roads occur.
Why the first road kill statistics were justified.
Why cars that could undertake several flips on their roof without damage – but, could not save the people who were inside.
Why the church opposed scientists’ research on car safety and how scientists naturally tried to kill themselves and how dead people saved living people.
How one man was able to turn the course of automotive history when all the leading car companies had already lost faith in the idea of a safe car.
What is the sacred meaning of the numbers 3,043,625 for every motorist and why is the first brand that comes to mind when the word safety comes to mind is ‘Volvo’?
Why Chevrolet was organizing surveillance and wiretapping one man who had never been behind the wheel but had enormous influence in the automotive world.
Why the era of chic and gorgeous American cars of the ’50s and ’60s will never be the same again.

About The Heart of a Viscount

What’s a girl to do when she’s left orphaned and alone after her father’s unexpected demise?

Miss Verity Weston imagined being whisked off to Bath and settling into a quiet life with her aunt, Lady Margaret. However, her father had other ideas.

Fearing his sister Margaret, being quite mad and well in her dotage, would set a poor example for Verity, her father did the unthinkable and left her the ward of Viscount Stanbury. Verity was smitten with the viscount as a young girl, but now he was practically a stranger.

Viscount Stanbury was a confirmed bachelor who lived his life at leisure until the unthinkable happened. But, as a gentleman, he was only as good as his word and after all, being honorable was not always easy. Suddenly Julian found himself in too deep, and Miss Verity Weston turned his life upside down. He either wanted to wring the chit’s neck or kiss her senseless—depending on the moment.

Verity’s exquisite beauty should make settling her with a respectable husband easy, even with a meager dowry. Yet nothing was simple with Verity or her maddening aunt, the eccentric Lady Margaret.

A love/hate relationship, burning chemistry, and a crazy countess collide in this humorous and cheeky Victorian Novella—a library, not bedroom romance.

FORCED TO MARRY HIM: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It by Davinder Kaur

In the late 1980s, Davinder Kaur was forced to marry a man she didn’t know. When she was only fourteen years old, the marriage was arranged and set to occur when she turned eighteen. After four long years of internal turmoil and despair, she had two choices: adhere to the customs and traditions of her family, or risk bringing dishonor to their home. Davinder didn’t like either option, so she made a plan—a plan to survive.

In Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It, Kaur tells of the pain, lies, and betrayal she suffered at the hands of those who were meant to protect her the most. But her story doesn’t end there. Davinder’s willingness to speak out and fight not only saved her life but the lives of many other women and young girls over the years. She offers courage and strength to those who can’t advocate for themselves, and she works with organizations all over the world to help end arranged and forced marriages. Kaur gives a voice to the voiceless as she breaks down walls to eradicate cultural and traditional abuse.

About Forgotten Colony: Tau Ceti: An epic sci-fi story in an immersive fantasy world

A sci-fi story turn fantasy adventure, Tau Ceti launches the epic journey of the Forgotten Colony series. Twistingly enjoyable, the tale of Kenzo begins on an alien world with a human colony that has forgotten their origins. Arrested for use of modern technology, the odyssey goes spiraling out of control. Our hero must find balance to succeed.

Thrilling and enjoyable… A propulsive adventure. (The Prairies Book Review)

Set in far future, LaBraun’s debut installment in the Forgotten Colony series is an engrossing blend of SF and magic. Kenzo Jaxson, the security in charge for the excursion team in Sol-Rey, is little wary of their mission when his team lands on Tau Ceti Four, an isolated colony left on its own for more than a century. As the team begins its excursion, Kenzo realizes he needs to face his inner demons first. LaBraun vividly details his SF world, from individual attributes and advanced technology to intermittent sprinklings of the Tau Ceti Four’s fascinating mix of the ancient Middle East desert life and medieval town communities. He adeptly handles his large cast of characters and subplots, with separate storylines linking with each other by the end. The unique blend of fantasy with a typical space opera is both clever and entertaining. Richly developed and profound, the novel does an admirable job of presenting the archetypal story of an unlikely hero struggling with inner turmoil and confusion. Lovers of fast-paced, action-packed space adventure will be greatly rewarded.

About Rags and Muffin

The city is dying. This little girl is its only hope.

Twelve-year-old Miss Rags is a goddess: As a hybrid of the world’s two sapient species, she has the power to grant her worshipers visions of God. But she is destined to die before her sixteenth birthday.

Now transformed into a living weapon by her mad-scientist pediatrician, she stalks the crime-ridden streets of the decaying temple city, determined to punish the wicked in the time she has left.

When Rags gets word that a pimp and drug pusher on the city’s south end has bought a young girl from the slave market, she stages a rescue with the help of a few close friends and her alcoholic, carjacking dog. But Southside is a powder keg: The grudges between rival gangs are about to explode into open war, and the site of the planned rescue is the epicenter.

Rags just wanted to save a life. Now she’ll have to fight to keep herself and her friends alive.

About Christmas Presence

Everly Dupree helps the dead find peace whether she wants to or not.

This Christmas, all Everly Dupree wanted was a little peace and quiet, some time with family, and a glass of eggnog. What she didn’t need was the ghost of the scandal in her past to rear its ugly head.

When reporter, Amber Hale shows up on Everly’s doorstep asking for an interview she learns there were worse things her ex-husband could do besides cheating on her—like embezzling money from his family’s company and framing Everly for the theft.

Things couldn’t be worse, right?

Wrong. Before Everly can get her breath back, she and her friends stumble over Amber Hale’s dead body, and now she has to deal with the ghost in her present.

Before she’ll have any hope for a peaceful future, Everly Dupree will need to put all her ghosts to rest.

Holiday cheer is in the air, and a famed matchmaker is at it once again…
Charlie Zann is a struggling single mother who is thrilled when Gerri Wilder approaches her with a new job opportunity. That is, until she meets her new boss and realizes he’s way too hot and way too into her. She’s made so many poor relationship choices in the past, but no more.

He’s used to handling hostile takeovers with the companies he buys. But with Charlie comes a daughter that needs a father and a danger he’s not aware of. If he can get his beautiful, curvy, stubborn mate to let him help her, life would be much easier.
But through hot cocoa and ice skating, there’s trouble brewing. Charlie’s ex is back and looking for trouble. Preston won’t let anything happen to his mate and her daughter. He wants to safeguard his girls without being overbearing. It’s a thin line between protective and controlling and he needs to be careful or he’ll lose the only family he’s ever wanted.

About Isabel Zendal: The History of a Spanish Nurse and Her Humanitarian Work During the Smallpox Pandemic by Patricia Hatfield

The year was 1803.

From the ports of La Coruña in Northwest Spain, the Balmis Expedition set sail to complete a seemingly impossible task – to vaccinate the Spanish colonies against smallpox.

Supported by King Carlos IV of Spain, the expedition was led by its namesake, the royal doctor Francisco Javier de Balmis, and assisted by a motley crew of experts, including one Isabel Zendal.

Zendal’s duty aboard the ship reflected her role as the supervisor of an orphanage – taking care of 22 orphan boys who joined the expedition as successful carriers of the virus.

The plan? Vaccinate as many people as possible against the smallpox virus.

Thus began the first of its kind healthcare mission to fight a pandemic that had been plaguing the world’s population for thousands of years.

And in a world where science was very much practiced solely by men, Isabel’s tale brings out her contribution towards a great philanthropic cause – one of many women who contributed to the advancement of medicine in the world.

But it’s not just her story: through Isabel, you’re about to discover the history of smallpox and how one expedition brought mercy to those who suffered from it.

In Isabel Zendal, you will discover:

The life story of Isabel Zendal and her efforts against smallpox
A historical account of the rise and spread of smallpox – from ancient times to the modern world
Edward Jenner’s role in the creation of the very first vaccine known to mankind
How events unfolding in King Carlos IV’s court led to the inception and planning of the Balmis Expedition
The search for 26 Angels – a crucial part of the expedition that involved 22 (later 26) orphan boys who had never contracted smallpox
3 years against smallpox over the high seas – documenting the trials and tribulations of the expedition across three ships from 1803 to 1806
A fantastical journey charting the Spanish colonies – from the Canary Islands and the Americas to the Philippines and China
The impact and legacy of this undertaking on the scientific community, leading to global efforts in eradicating smallpox through vaccination
And much more.

In a time plagued by both financial and political turmoil, this extraordinary tale chronicles the collective human efforts of a handful of people in defeating a deadly disease.

It also brings forth the selfless efforts of the only female member of the expedition in saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

Book will be reduced to $0.99 between 10-12 December 2021

She perplexes me. My every thought is of her and she is driving me insane. How a mere mortal can cause such deep yearning, I’ll never know. Her eyes. Her laugh. Her smile—and yes, her lips!

About Somewhere Between Light and Time By Aiden Leman

Historical Fiction / Magical Realism

Print edition released- November 28, 2021
eBook Editon out December 21, 2021

Have you ever met a stranger and felt that you already knew them?

The story begins in the 1800s when Elias and Henry are souls on the Other Side. Their own time as humans lies ahead of them, but they unwittingly observe their ancestors-to-be as they progress through major historical events. From slave-liberation missions in antebellum America to the horror of the Vietnam War, they follow six generations across two centuries. But as the family separates, the descendants form two divergent lineages, thousands of miles apart, into which the two souls are eventually born.

Elias and Henry grow up in different countries but meet again in modern Britain—without any recollection of the Other Side. Civil-rights activist Elias is hiding from a Russian kidnapper when he runs into Henry, who has become a kind-hearted but prejudiced Englishman. Against the backdrop of repeating historical patterns, they become entangled in a love triangle with free-spirited Lana, who becomes Elias’s protector.

Blinded by his intolerance, Henry unwittingly brings danger upon them as the agent closes in on Elias. But soon, all their historical experiences unravel into the present, and eventually produce an unexpected, startling ending.

Somewhere Between Light and Time is a fast-paced adventure drama in which historical events and everyday reality are interwoven with elements of the supernatural.
