ॐ साईं राम
Hi everyone,
I am Vickram E. Diwan; a new member of this group.
I am pleased to announce that my story The Snake Princess is being published by XOXO publishers. I am providing the publisher link below. The story is part of the Tattoo Anthology - 2 and is expected to release on September 17, 2010.
About the story
The story is set in the Central Provinces (present day Madhya Pradesh) in 1870 British India. It is about the journey of a English woman to find the meaning of the tattoo on her arm and the adventures that follow. The excerpt that follow is when she reaches the shrine of snake-god Sheeshnaga and meets the head priest to have the meaning of the tattoo explained to her.
Blurb (back page of the book)
The mysterious tattoo of a snake mermaid on her body takes an English woman to
the nineteenth century British India. The land of Thugs, Fakirs, Snake
worshipers, Rajahs (Kings) and thick jungles holds the key to her future and
past.
Can a soul be reborn to fulfill its unfinished task? A fantastic roller-costar
ride of adventure, danger and daring with an unbelievable climax!
Excerpt
"I never expected that I would live to see this day in my life. The ancient promise
has been fulfilled. The princess has come back. Here, see this," he said showing
her an old book of worn out plant leaves with ancient scripture unwrapped from a
red linen cloth that was taken out from a gold rectangular box. "This was
written 500 years ago and it is passed to each head-priest by his predecessor.
Elizabeth saw the drawing of her tattoo; but the real shock came when saw her own
image, she was dressed in the picture wearing garlands and leaves and sitting on
a throne. How was this possible? But before she could question the priest, the
dead body of his young assistant whom she had met earlier in the day fell before them
and all hell broke loose. A gang of sword wielding men dressed in turbans, whose
open cloth covered their faces grabbed the head-priest and hit the head of the
white woman with the handle of the sword making her lose consciousness.
