Preface

My late granddad, a humanitarian, was proficient in conventional medicine and the alternative. From him and my late parents, I gathered ancient tips on health preservation. I began writing a book on a healthy lifestyle for posterity; it bored me and I set it aside.  

Years went by, then it crossed my mind, what if I were to compile the facts and present them as in a story instead; wouldn’t it be entertaining? The notion inspired me. Thereon, ideas flowed with ease; my forte in the arts added to my advantage. I delivered the message, padded with frills and fairy-tale romance, a few tears, laughs and composed a song to fit the novel. I slipped in the supernatural in between the plot; it makes sense to people of many cultures and those undergoing traumas.   Pleased I am that my work is complete, not only one but 2 books; the third is near complete. 

Mystique Isle a fiction inspired by actual life events; a 3-part series of artistic adventure set in multi-cultural Pondicherry, India with a sprinkle of the mythical. It is a sweeping tale of courtly love, camaraderie, healthy living, and nature with a touch of humor, and surprises.
