THE TALE OF PHOENIX 

This is a philosophical children’s fiction story about Phoenix who, though entirely blameless, carries the guilt of his twin sister’s death at birth and feels cursed. Events seem to confirm this, especially on his leap-year birthdays. On his twelfth, he is caught in a fire and, whilst lying in a coma in this life, in another world, Lila, he meets Maya, his twin, escapes a heart-hunter, rescues a small boy, Karun, from his death and takes him across the island. Here, Phoenix’s world intersects with the story-book of Marina, a mermaid, who sacrifices her life to ensure that Phoenix continues to the centre of the island alone to save Karun again, this time from his unconscious state and, simultaneously, awake from his own coma to return, newly alive, to his home, friends and new-found family.

Notes from my editor:

The Tale of the Phoenix is fascinating. It is a very different type of book: it tells of the inward journey of an introverted character, there are stories within stories, within stories and there is a mix of psychology, philosophy and spirituality, and fairy-tale and cultural references. There are parts of the story that are dark and subversive – and are quite brilliant in my opinion. There are ‘nods’ to traditional European folk and fairy tales, both in your writing and in the stories that appear in the tale. There are times when I felt I was reading science fiction/fantasy and times when the message was Vedic or more generally spiritual… It is a story that is very much from your heart and that is appealing because it is authentic.

HEALTH, DIGESTION AND IMMUNITY

A handbook of Ayurveda. 

This E-book began as a PDF file to give to my clients, so that they can have a better understanding of Ayurveda. 

Over time, it grew into a book. My own Ayurvedic Doctor and friend Rajvinder Kaur was so kind to support me in this project and write a foreword to it. 

Although I am aware that there are many amazing books out there already on Ayurveda, my aim here was to provide a very simple to understand, holistic view on the human body, that will allow us to build a more loving relationship with it, and thus empower us to take our health into our own hands. 

You can download it on Amazon.

A SECOND EDITION IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PUBLISHED AND WILL BE READY SOON!
