In a land rich with fable and lore, a queen has to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her son. A rich and powerful noble carries a secret from his mother that could be his undoing. A warrior sentinel must choose between forsaking his oaths and forsaking his people. From the rocks of Stoneloft to the burning sands of Ammashai, from the ports of Kathazir to the jungles of The Unknowns, follow a cast of colorful spies and swordsmen, slaves and saboteurs, across this world of mystique and marvel known as Rendoth.

A Box of Memories is a container of someone's little joys, tears, feelings of helplessness, and the inexpressible pains that remain concealed deep down inside and get revealed only on certain special occasions. This is the story of Naro, a girl from a small, poor town in India, who grows into a fine young lady with unbelievable beauty and a good job in a reputed university. Yet every day, she holds on to unbearable pain inside. She has held on to the same pain for years. It feeds on her and finally devours her completely.

Norman Cousins, the author of many health related books, said "The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live", which is what had happened to me. However, I never in my wildest dreams imagined I was merely in an invisible cocoon and that someday, years later, I would experience a transformation and emerge as a happy butterfly. Now the past is just a story, one I told in this book. Enter with a brave heart as you hear about my journey.

Looking at her head was like staring into a bright ray of glorious sunshine. A bright beam of summer with two starry eyes looking back. Eyes, which carried such beautiful ever changing pupils within. Pupils, which were constantly oscillating from one color to the next, as she constantly held me firmly within her fixated eyes. She spoke.

Who is she? Are the answers as simple as the questions? In the end what can we know is real?

India is one of the oldest countries in the world. But despite its age, there are a lot of things that children do not know about India. They just think that everybody is a Hindu or that everybody is very poor.

There are so many negative stereotypes about India and about the Indian people in general on these forms of media.

The world had chewed me up and spit me out so many times, I had lost count. I was running from a dysfunctional marriage, an abusive boss, and extreme Texas weather conditions to return home with my tail between my legs; however, this time something was different. Every morning for two weeks, I woke up with divine inspiration to write about a particular subject.

Television actor Renato Rizzuti's first children's book is a throwback to early 20th century juvenile fiction, when the world knew rhymes from books, not rap, from Dr. Seuss, not Dr. Dre. The stories, told in verse, switch from teaching kids about why zebras have stripes to accepting racial equality amongst peers. Each tale's length is concise enough for a young one's short attention span.
