The new anthology collection which I can say I'm proud to be a part of was offically released last weekend in Hyderabad. "Family Matters" by Nivasini Publishers is an international anthology featuring authors and poets from over 9 different countries.
As you can guess, the bond between family members plays a vital part in all the stories within this book. Proceeds from the book will go to Sphoorti, an NGO for under-priviliged children including orphans and those children who are abandoned.
For details of the book launch, I will divert you to Nivasini's blogpost on it. / their Facebook page.
My own story within the book, "A Mother's Touch" is something that is different from what people usually expect from me... no humour, romance or violence. It's a story of faith and looking beyond the obvious.
Personally, I was/am apprehensive about this story because A) it isn't a genre I am usually good at and B) writing from a mother's point of view is definitely alien to a dork like me. But some of those fears have been allayed with fellow blogger's Bhavana's kind words after reading the story (link here). Thanks Bhavana.
I don't have links for online purchase of the book yet. So for now, to get a copy of "Family Matters", kindly email nivedita(at)nivasini.com
