OPERATION PUBLISH-MY-BOOK

If my readers, (and any new writers) wish to know more about my Journey from manuscript to published book..... check this Page.

Behind us lay the thick forest of bamboo and teak. Out and down.....down, over the opposite side of our ridge, there was jungle as far as the eye could see. Thick pristine jungle. The breeze felt good, and we sat on a huge boulder to eat sandwiches, and drink water. In the distance, we heard a sambar call...........warning call, or mating time? The birds were everywhere!

My latest book The ANAISHOLA CHRONICLE

ANNOUNCING the ARRIVAL OF MY LATEST BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/author/ lgbroome You can order your copy on Amazon.in, or Amazon.com, Amazon.uk, Flipkart, Amazon Kindle, Infobeam, Kobo. My story is based on the South Indian Tea estates called High Wavy's, in an imaginary tea plantation called Anaishola. The teens Myna and her friend Jehan stumble on a series of strange discoveries that seem to draw them deeper and deeper into a puzzle they cannot resolve. Evil spirits, an old yogi, an ancient tank and temple, and the surprise discovery of pages from an old diary have much to do with the tale. Here are some photographs sent to me by a friend who is the Doctor there. (He is very interested in elephants, and many of his best pictures are of these biggies!) Photo Credits: Dr. Arul Nathan.
