Hunger is the basic instinct of all living creatures. It is the main driving force, which provokes people to do well or do bad. Hunger has various faces by which it mesmerizes people.
Sometimes, starvation becomes a weapon and hunger becomes an issue. Robin was not competent for this world. He was a handicapped person and he could not stand like a human as Polio had eaten up his two legs. He crawled on the ground like an infant or like a reptile.
The politicians tactfully used his 'quality' in various ways. The ruling party used him for the polio campaigning, and he was used by the opposition parties as the symbol of a lame government. Press, politician and police all started playing a new game issuing the shameful death of a starved man. It was a struggle for their existence. Robin had a spine and he protested against drug trafficking. However, he had to pay for that.
After 20 years, a bestselling author Rudra Sen left London for seven days to meet her ex girl friend Mita in India where he found Portia, divorcee Mita's only daughter. Rudra became surprised, she was identical with young Mita who rejected him two decades ago and married their common friend, Sam. Mita could not protect her from a hunger for the better life as Rudra was not financially fit for her.
Rudra found his lost love in Portia and tried to discover young Mita in her body. He was spell bound. However, he soon started feeling him guilty. Portia encouraged him, 'It was not a perversion, rather, it was a loving journey to the past holding the hands of the present.' Portia was a journalist who left her first job protesting against the nexus between media and politics in Robin Starvation Case.She joined another media and fell in love with the chairperson of that media house who offered her a better post with a great liberty. Portia told him with a challenge in her tone, "We demanded the freedom of press, now; we demand the freedom of journalists."
Finally, Portia's hunger for the better career rejected Rudra for the second time after two decades.

Kamadeva: The God of Desire By Anuja Chandramouli
Kamadeva: The God of Desire By Anuja Chandramouli
"Ideally, Kama should have been happy. But what he felt was apprehension and there was no shaking the feeling that he had been tempered with fire to prepare him solely for what lay ahead."
"Kamadeva, the charming wielder of the sugarcane bow and the flower-tipped arrows, born out of the wellspring of Brahma's latent passion, has for long remained an enigma. This enthralling story of the God of Desire explores his many wondrous adventures, as well as his heady romance with Rati, his chief consort."
"Best friends with Indra, the King of the Gods, tutor to the Apsaras in the art of lovemaking, Kamadeva lives a dream life in the magnificent Kingdom of Amaravathi-until danger strikes when he incurs the wrath of Shiva because of a preordained curse. Follow Kama as he hurtles towards his destiny and the Destroyer's dreaded third eye. Find out if he will rise from the ashes to reign supreme as the King of Hearts or if he will be doomed to spend an eternity as Ananga - the bodiless one."
"In Kamadeva: The God of Desire, the author masterfully marries imagination with stellar research to bring to vivid life one of the most intriguing Gods of the Hindu pantheon. Laced with wit and narrated in contemporary flavour, Kamadeva will take you on a rollicking ride into the heart of desire and its tantalizing dark side."

An Interview with author Kristina Dreisbach
An Interview with author Kristina Dreisbach
Interviewed by Tarak Ghosh
A great way to bring books into a child's life is to put Time limitations on these electronics and other activities
1.You have taught preschool for over 12 years, as a teacher you watched the children very closely. So you have a strong connection with the child psychology. Generally, children like to read fables and fantasy. Would you think the new age children have changed their taste? If yes, why?
Kristina : I think all children no matter what age love to read fables and fantasy books. Children love to hear stories and use their imaginations. I believe parents should monitor though what their child is hearing and reading. There is a lot of stuff out there that is not good for children to hear and read. Books that can steer a child into the wrong things. I wrote my children's book with the Lord's help and I want children to know about God and good things of him. Children need love and guidance and to hear about God. They need to have role models that promote good, healthy and happy lives.
2.Is there any speciality of your book "Winston the Duck and HIs Big Orange Bill" that can attract the children all over the world?
Yes- We as people are made by God and made differently. children see very early differences in each other, whether its skin color, hair color, taller, shorter, thin, heavier weight, etc. They need to be taught that God makes everyone different, but we do not treat each other differently. Never make fun of someone because they are different than you. My book shows children that bullying is not right and when they are bullied, don't worry about others think. They are special in God's eyes and he made them unique, like us all and trust in Jesus and he will always be there for them and help them.
3.Give us an insight into your main characters. What does she/he do that is so special? How did you get the idea?
Kristina : Main characters in the story are Winston the Duck and Mr. Raccoon. Winston knows he is different for a reason and sets out to find that reason on the Cady Cove Lake. He meets Mr Raccoon who wants to go with him on the journey. Winston ends up saving Mr. Raccoon's life with his big orange bill. I know the Lord lead me to write and gave me the words for this book and we also had a duck for two weeks named Winston and I knew if I wrote a book - he would be in it!
4.As a reader, what is your opinion about "Winston the Duck and HIs Big Orange Bill?"
Kristina : My opinion of Winston the Duck is that it is a great children's book. Teaches children and adults about being made by God and that we are all made different and to love each other and know that God has a plan for each one of us. He loves us and wants to save us and help us in this life too. He wants us to be confident in him and also help others and love others.
5.Do you think the new age children are moving away from reading storybooks? If yes, what are the causes behind it and what's the way out?
Kristina : Children today have so much of the internet, iphones, ipads, gaming systems, tv, etc. I still believe books are not on the way out just yet.. In schools books are still read to the children and hopefully at home being read to them as well. A great way to bring books into a child's life is to put Time limitations on these electronics and other activities. Everything in moderation. A good ole book is great for children to pick up and read or be read to. Too many children are sitting with tv or the gaming systems, computer etc. and being left alone or escorted here and there to too many activities. Books are great for children to have time in their room and use their imaginations for play or just spending family time reading bible stories and other good books creating memories together. Children need bonding with their family and reading to them and togetherness is a great way to do it.
6.What inspires you to be a writer?
Kristina : I love to write for children and tell them about God. It's my ministry to teach them the love of Jesus.
7.What type of story and novel do you prefer to write, and why?
I prefer to write fiction. I love using my imagination as well! I also love to put God's word into my stories to teach about him.
8.As a writer, what sociological problem hurts you most?
Kristina : People are trying to take God out of everything now a days. It hurts me to see schools that I can not go into and read to the children because my book is a Christian book. Children need the Lord Jesus and his help. Everyone does. Jesus has been and is the only answer for the world. All the problems and chaos in our world is because of people shutting God and his word out. Children need to know that they are loved and loved by a loving and Heavenly Father who will never leave them nor forsake them. He is their savior and helper. He is for everyone.
9. What advice would you give to the children besides reading story books?
Kristina : Story books are great, but the Bible is greater. Read God's word daily or have a parent read to you.
10.What mentality of average children attract you more?
Kristina : I think kids are so cute and funny. We can learn a lot from them ourselves. I loved watching them play during center time when I taught preschool. I love all children - I can't say anyone is favored. But if I had the choice again of teaching in a classroom- I love teaching the Pre-K. 4 and 5 year olds.

My Believe
Believe in the power of love, unity, integrity and tenacity. You must harm none and must keep your heart open and act from love instead of react from fear. Life is a challenge, accept it.
If you want to be a successful person you should follow these lines from the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling.
"If you dream and not make your dreams your master
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;"
July 1, 2014
Author Sharon C. Williams Interviewed by Tarak Ghosh
1. You have a B.S. degree but you love writing. When did you start
writing? Were you inspired by anyone or it was an instinct ?
In 2009, my husband told a friend of mine that he felt I wrote well. She then told me. Mulling that over, a story began to form in my mind that summer. Later that year, I had two surgeries within 6 weeks of each other. Having time while recuperating, I started to write.
I wrote on what I knew, my parrot Jasper. He adopted us in 1999 at the age of five. His antics and personality practically wrote the book, for the mannerisms that are in my book I have observed by watching Jasper. He was my inspiration along with my husband's third party nudge.
2. Why did you choose writing, especially for the children? You like
birds and you are also a birdwatcher. Are they and their untold
stories inspire you to write? Do you find any chemistry between the
beauty of nature and a writer's imagination?
To be honest, I'm uncertain why I chose this genre to write my first book. It just seemed natural that Jasper would be meant for children. It would be, I felt , a great opportunity for me to educate kids on the rainforest and Amazon parrots. Especially since my main character was a living breathing member of my family.
You nailed it; their untold stories. I like to educate people about birds if I can. Most people are familiar with dogs, cats, and fish as the average pets. Well, at least, when I was growing up. It's not often I come across someone in my area that has a bird. It's a perfect opportunity to share with the world how amazing and loving they can be. They each have their own distinct personalities, and will love you to pieces if you only let them which I have.
I absolutely find chemistry between the beauty of nature and a writer's imagination. I love to get inspiration from writing and picture prompts. Most of my short stories and smaller books have come from these, but nature is a whole new world. My book, Squirrel Mafia, that I will be releasing myself in February, is a true story based on my year long war with the squirrels in my back yard. It's something people might not think to write on if they did not take a step back, and look outside at our wonderful world.
The chemistry is there, and it flows so brilliantly. I love tapping into this source, for it is never-ending, and you never know where it will take you. That, alone, fascinates me to look outside.
3. What are your ambitions for your writing career?
I would love to have my books in a library and in the schools. My big dream, and we should all have them, is to have Jasper made into a movie. I’d like my career to grow as more people learn about my books. For them to read and enjoy something I wrote. To me, that’s such a amazing feeling. One, that doesn’t get old. I hope to entertain people for a long time.
4.What genre are your books?
I range from fiction to non-fiction. The genres are children, true-life, comedy, action, and mystery. On occasion, I do dabble in other genres. This is mostly due to writing to any prompts I see/are given to me.
5. So, what have you written?
These are the ones that have been released to the public so far.
Root Canal
Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure
Dragons In The Attic
I will be self publishing my book, Squirrel Mafia, in February 2014.
The books that I need to revise and edit are my three NaNoWriMo books, which are:
A Woman of Color
Moe's Cafe
Lost Faith
Numerous short stories have been written, and my editor and I are working on making them into anthologies that are to be released when time permits.
I'm also writing the third installment of the Jasper series.
6.Where can the book lovers buy or see them?
Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo.
7.Give us an insight into your main characters. ( A Rainforest
Adventure, Jasper, Amazon Parrot) What does he/she do that is so
special?
Jasper is an Amazon parrot living in the rainforest alongside his mother and brother. The story starts off as he hatches. Being the older brother, it’s up to him to watch over his younger sibling, Willie, and make sure he’s okay as the two venture out to explore with their friends, George, the sloth, and Charlie, a spider monkey.
As the boys start to grow and emerge fully feathered, hard lessons are learned. Their good friend, Charlie, who is a bit older and has been around the jungle longer, helps the brothers navigate through perils, and keep them from harm. Without his help and knowledge, the two brothers would surely come to harm.
8. What would you say are the main advantages and disadvantages of
self-publishing against being published or the other way around?
Before my book was picked up, I would have to say that with self-publishing you have total control of your book, while with traditional publishing you have to give up a little bit.
I have done both ends of the spectrum, published traditionally and self-published.
As an author, I feel we need to embrace both avenues. When one self-publishes, you have total control of your product. How you want to present and market it is all on you. Having final say is a powerful thing to have when it comes to one's book. Traditional publishing does take some of the weight off your shoulders. My book, Jasper, was picked up by a traditional publisher, and with that came an illustrator that made the beautiful cover for my book. This might have been something I could not have had if I had self-published.
A misconception, though, in traditional publishing, is they will take care of all of the PR for you. That is no longer true. Authors are required to do the leg work as well regardless of what format they get their book out in.
What I did like with my publisher is having the final say on things as if I was self-publishing it. That was reassuring as well as frightening. A wrong decision along the way can determine how well your book does, and the person you have to answer to is staring back at you in the mirror.
Not all publishers give you that much say in the process of getting a book out. I was very fortunate on that account. It all depends on what your strengths are as a writer, and how much you are willing to do for your book.
9. For your own reading, do you prefer eBooks or traditional
paper/hardback books?
Easy question–a real book. I have always told people the only way I was getting a tablet to read a book was if someone bought me one. My husband got me one this year. I just prefer a real book, the smell the feel, and the actual turning of a page. Not an ereader turning it for me. To go into a used bookstore, and spend hours there is one of life's simple pleasures, something you can’t get from a ebook.
I get the point of one, you can store many, many, many books on a tablet. When I am on vacation, I will use mine. But it can, and never will, take away my love for a real book. It, and I, have bonded from a young age, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
10. Do you think that you have a social duty as an author?
I believe if we are able to make a difference, then by all means, we should. There are so many injustices being done in the world that a lot of us know nothing about. Making awareness through our writings is a great way, so long as it is done in a way that isn't harmful. My book, A Woman of Color, addresses an issue that few people know about.
11. What sociological problem hurts you more?
Any issue that affects children is hard on my heart. They are our future that will lead us into the next generation. If we stifle that, be it through abuse, education, or lack of basic necessities, we are doing the world a great disservice.
Another one that is hard is abuse on animals. My birds are not my pets, they are my family. I can't watch the ASPCA commercials on TV because it reduces me to tears when I see what humans are capable of. There are so many beautiful creatures who will love us unconditionally. Loving them back should be automatic. Knowing how my birds love me, and visa versa, I truly can't comprehend why anyone would want to hurt animals.
Environmental issues . . . I'm a tree hugger in spirit, and seeing our great world being treated like a throwaway piece of equipment is something else that breaks my heart. We have one Earth, and we need to all share and take care of it. Last time I checked, we don't have another place to go to when our present world gives up on us.
12. Which famous person, living or dead, would you like to meet and why?
I have to say I have two–Agatha Christie and Stephen King.
I have all of Christie's books, minus the ones that are no longer in print. She was a lady who could masterfully weave a story so tight that it kept you turning the pages. I would love to talk to her about her profession, and how she penned such amazing stories.
Anyone who talks to me knows how much I love King. He and I are from the same state, which makes me a bit biased, but I love horror. I absolutely love horror books and movies. To me, there is no one better than him when it comes to making me jump out of my skin while reading a book. I would love to be able to sit down and just listen, to soak up the crumbs he’s spilled.
A tidbit people outside of the state might not know about is King's generosity. He has donated quite a lot of money to local libraries in my state. In fact, my small town of 800 only, has a library due to his huge contribution. He was called upon, and he delivered. To just say thank you to him face to face would mean a lot to me. He is more than just a writer to the people of Maine.
13. What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
One piece of advice?
Write on what you know, even if it's just one sentence. The beauty is wrapping a book around that one piece of knowledge.
It's okay to write outside the box, though. Heck, I'm wrapping up a novelette whose genre is that of paranormal, which I had no clue on how or what to write about. It’s based on a storm door stuck in a tree. I might not know paranormal, but I know about storm doors and what they look like.
When I write about something I know and am passionate about, it is a work of love. The pages fly by for me when this happens, and before I know it, I am typing the end. It's not work at all.
Also, don't give up. Define what success means to you, and work toward that. Everyone has a different definition of meaning.
If at all possible, hang out with fellow writers, whether that’s through groups in town or online. Who better understands us than other writers?
14.What do you say about 'Hook the reader'?
I believe this is essential to any book, regardless of genre. We have such a short window to entice the reader. If you don't draw your readers in, they will only go so far into the book before putting it down. There are so many books out there they can easily turn to. So by all means, get a hook by the first page if you can help it. For once you do, you might just keep your reader all the way to the end.
15. What type of story you like to write more and why?
I love to write from writing and picture prompts. From that, comes stories of different genres.
The anthology that was just released by my writing group has a story by me that came from a picture of a door in a tree. From there, I developed a 10k paranormal short story. It’s a genre I have never written in, and didn't think I would be able to. My point is, my stories vary from genre to genre. I let the story take a lead on wherever it wants to go.
Which one do I like to write more on, well . . . that’s a tough question. I don't lean toward any one in particular. I like to write outside the box, and see where it takes me.
