Magdalin by Munmun Singha Chowdhury
“Do you agree life is boring without fantasy? But fantasy means living in dreams! What if our dreams turn into reality like Magdalin believed it would?
Magdalin and Dev Mukherjee were childhood friends who did their schooling together. For graduation, they joined DB College in Guwahati where Magdalin met Pranab Das in the first year of college. Pranab belonged to a typical Bengali family. Eventually, they both ended up falling in love with each other. While looking Magdalin with Pranab, Dev realized his feeling for Magdalin. Out of excitement, Pranab shares his feeling for Magdalin to her mother. But instead, she asked him to leave his college.
During her visit as Civil Officer, she came across many women that inspired her to become a better version of herself. Meanwhile, Mag fought many battles. She was heartbroken yet she made it look strongly beautiful. It was the pain that gave her strength. It was a fire in her eyes not tears when she faced the universe. It was her zeal which leads her to the journey of success that changed her into the person she became.
Sometimes it takes years to realize your fantasy world doesn’t exist but still in the back of your mind you still believe it may. What will she do now, choose her new self or will go with her old love?”

What inspired you to write your book?
Since a teenager, I was determined to become a writer. The best reason I wanted to become an author is because I am very passionate about writing and I want to share the true beauty of my community which has never been explored. Certainly, there is an inspiring story of a people living in small towns, villages that can relate to the situation and challenges they face every day. I would love to share about the dance, values, rituals, the culture and the people I observed as simplest in the planet.
I belong to the Santal community. Most people know us by Adivasi. People in cities call us Anglo Indian because we are majorly Christian. The place I was born, Kokrajhar, is widely known since the 1996 riots between Bodo and Santal communities. It’s been decades the riots have ended but the system is still controlled by Bodo communities. Government Offices, Banks, District Court, and all the municipal corporations are run by the tribe. Besides this place is one of the most unexplored regions in India.
The beautiful villages have their own advantages and disadvantages like any other place have. There is no opportunity for higher studies and no career; there are no industries or MNC or good hospitals. In case of any medical emergency, you are certain to die. For the smallest of things required people rush to a nearby town. But no wonder the breathtaking views of a small valley, the tiny streams, and the endless verdant and the distinct culture of the different tribe are remarkable besides never-ending darkness at night. Despite being scared to death every nightlife is full of true adventure.
I have grown up watching Doordarshan Channel every Sunday evening show of Adivasi dance, culture, a tradition they showcase. I agree it was there in the 1960s and like Indian Cinema but I wonder which corner of Santal have still the same. It’s unfamiliar.
I wonder why they have to highlight or indicate the indifference of our community; it should be an equal opportunity. In this generation, if you look around the world you will see our community who owns houses in cities, living a good life, earning good money and having luxuries lifestyle. Why the world is busy showing the poverty of our communities instead of giving us the opportunity to grow and develop? So I am determined to make a difference, to bring change the way people think about the community. I will share

Thrones of Desire: Erotic Tales of Swords, Mist and Fire by Mitzi Szereto
Thrones of Desire is a place where lust and legend abound, and adventure, passion and danger entwine. Think mystical lands and creatures, kings and queens, knights and renegades, heroes and villains, warlords, maidens and princesses. Think battles and danger, honor and dishonor, good and evil. Most of all, think hearts filled with passion and secret desire. This is a place where romantic chivalry is alive and well, but so too is romantic wickedness. This is a place where the good do not always win, and the bad are often more captivating and desirable than their altruistic counterparts. In these lush and timeless landscapes, the battle for flesh can be as important as the battle for power. Intrigue, sorcery, revenge, lawlessness, dark secrets and mysterious elixirs; entanglements with supernatural beings — everything is possible in these magical mythical landscapes. Inspired by Game of Thrones these imaginative steamy tales transport the reader to fantastical realms. Featuring a special foreword from legendary fantasy author Piers Anthony.
