About A Man with A White Shadow:
A Man with A White Shadow is a story of a soul, Ganesha, who wants to change the world for the better. God allows him to do as he wishes, but he has to take a human form to change the world. This story is about what Ganesha writes about how he is going to live on the earth against how his life turns out when he is in the human form.
There are two common philosophies we are entangled with, one, that we are alone and there is nothing called destiny, and the other that revolves around destiny and having a predefined path. Authored by Vikram Suryawanshi, this novel portrays the possibility that every human has written his/her own destiny before taking the human form. However, due to innumerable mysteries, they often remain distant from their written paths. This book talks about some of those mysteries.
There are two stories running parallelly in the book: One where Ganesha finds out about all the mysteries and the other where some human characters strive to achieve their earthly ambitions. The contrast between these two storylines forces readers to break the barriers of their understanding of this world, and see the world as a child does.

About Big City Secrets:
“A raw and visceral journey through the alleys and penthouses of America, Big City Secrets is a striking tale of pushing through pain to discover one’s potential. From an abusive childhood and early abandonment issues to complexes around sex, intimacy, money, and success, this book and its sympathetic protagonist shy away from nothing, turning a spotlight on human nature through the smudged and fickle lens of Los Angeles. With gritty, unpolished dialogue that seems like it’s pulled right from the street, and a matter-of-fact style of storytelling reminiscent of Bukowski or Bret Easton Ellis, this is a sleazy, but urgent sermon on the West Coast mount, an unapologetic journey into the dark heart of America’s illusion.” -Self Publishing Review

About Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal By Lon Orey:
A satirical romp through 1968 Thailand follows a team of US intelligence agents matching wits with enemy operatives.
It was 1968 and the war was not going well. The surprisingly-effective Tet Offensive in January had humbled and embarrassed the South Vietnamese and their American allies. It had sent a powerful message to the folks back home that this Vietnam thing wasn’t going to be over anytime soon. Americans in general were growing weary of its intrusion into their living rooms every evening on the six o’clock news.
Meanwhile in Bangkok, Thailand, just a stone’s throw from the battlefields, the special agents assigned to the 187th Military Intelligence Detachment, the US Army’s counterespionage arm, are dealing with the war and its implications for the rest of Southeast Asia in their own way. They dress in civilian clothes and carry credentials while performing counterintelligence investigations and surveillance of suspected enemy agents. As a group, they are an unruly and undisciplined lot whose often humorous attempts to carry out their assignments and stay out of trouble rarely succeed. The tone of this book has been compared to that of the classics “MASH” and “Catch 22.”
