Free: Seven Eleven Forgotten and Other Stories
June 16, 2016 By
From the publishing author of the Seven Eleven Stories periodical comes the original Seven Eleven collection. Four stories (“Seven Eleven Ceremony,” “Crash: Seven Eleven!” “Seven Eleven on a Boat,” and “Seven Eleven Forgotten”) revolve around Alex Aronovich—a talented but profoundly discouraged soul, searching listlessly for a connection to the world around him. In the last of these tales (“Seven Eleven Forgotten”), Alex finds himself binge drinking to the point of hallucinations, and has an unfortunate run-in with Ana, a sharp, unscrupulous ex-girlfriend. These events lead him to what seems an inevitable trip overseas, where he finds that while the scenery is different, and perhaps more fitting to his malaise, the disorientation driving his condition remains a chronic obstacle. Other stories (such as “A TIA for Gia,” and “Princess 7”) dance eclectically and playfully around the same convenience store theme–as a painter’s subject used repeatedly, from never the same point of view. Free on Kindle.

Reviews:
“Mishra’s debut comic novel is an absurdist tale of office and personal politics set in a small town in northern India.” ~Kirkus Review
“This articulate, wryly amusing creation focuses on simple situations that often have an unexpected, almost magical, twist.” ~IndieReader, 5 Stars
“A quirky, heartfelt novel about finding your identity – and keeping it. In Pawan Mishra’s oddly charming novel, readers are welcomed into the strangely neurotic, passionate, and unfulfilled existence of Coinman. The author raises the banality of normal life to new heights within this novel, and does so in an amusing and thought-provoking way. The story is uniquely enjoyable, and Coinman is a character that will be hard to forget.” ~SPR, 4 Stars $0.99 on Kindle.

The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky
April 8, 2016 By
After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light-two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.
Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.
These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky. A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.
But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well. $0.99 on Kindle.

Kaffka, the Holy Grail, and a Woman Who Reads: The Quests of Sir Kay
March 13, 2016 By
Peace has finally been achieved—and it sucks. At least for Sir Kay.
I mean, nobody really likes the cold and the fear of war, but compared with now? That delicious, dark-roasted heady beverage Merlin brought back from the Middle East, kaffa, is long gone. Arthur expects Kay to run castle and kingdom, just because he’s the only person in 6th century Britain who can do algebra (if a knight rides forth from Camelot at three leagues per hour . . .). Guinevere treats him as her personal gofer. Middle age is fast upon Kay, and the only quest available is to rescue Miffy, a fair-but-empty-headed lady’s imprisoned dog.
Kaffka, the Holy Grail, and a Woman Who Reads: The Quests of Sir Kay is a warm, humorous glimpse of Arthurian times through the eyes of a Knight of the Round Table who also happens to be a little . . . shall we say, geeky? Sir Kay is a keen observer—witty, introspective, and sarcastic at times—driven by a sharp intellect and a deep longing for something more. $0.99 on Kindle.
