Hello readers,

We are happy to announce that Rajiv R Nair’s first novelette titled “His Past & Her Future” initially set to be published on 28th June, 2019, will be releasing on 28th August, 2021, as an ebook globally and as a paperback limited to India. This novelette is about a boy and a girl coming from different cultures and religions finding peace in each other’s abode while their families issue ultimatums of disowning them if they choose to lead a life together.  

Edited by Edlyn D’souza & Sreekar Ayyagari with a cover photo by Ravindra Patoju, “His Past & Her Future” deals with the inner strength of these characters in living up to their decisions defying the very people who created, raised and helped them become what they are in their lives. The novelette shows why defiance isn’t always necessarily an act of disrespect but just means standing up to what we believe in life.
