Kamakshi P. Murti 
Look out for “Murders in the Ivory Tower” featuring my two indomitable sleuths Leela and Meena Rao. A very fancy liberal arts college is shocked out of its complacency by grisly murders, murders that reveal the underbelly of the college. The book is being published by Pegasus in Great Britain, and is scheduled to appear in the very near future!
So excited! “Murders in the Ivory Tower” and “Bandilanka’s Forgotten Lives” are both out there, dear readers! Leela and Meena, my brave South-Asian avatars of Miss Marple, are at it again, this time in a fictitious liberal arts college! And “Bandilanka’s Forgotten Lives” is also available on Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, …. This fictional village Bandilanka describes the lives of so many in Indian villages (and the world over) whose voices remain unheard!
Thrilled to announce that my “Yasemin and Nirmala: A Tale of Two Teens” is about to be launched by Leadstart Publishing in India!
Yasemin, a 15-year-old Pakistani American who lost her arm in an accident, struggles to cope with her “unfinish’d” body, a term she borrows from Shakespeare’s Richard III. When Nirmala, a South Asian/Native American with cerebral palsy, arrives at the school and instantly wins over her peers with her confident, positive attitude towards life, Yasemin is forced to confront her own navel-gazing world view. But Nirmala is fighting her own demons in the privacy of her bedroom. Her wise grandmother poses a question that allows her to reassess the pros and cons of her life: “Why not turn your loss into a win?”
The two teens slowly forge an unbreakable bond in their journey to participate in the coveted Seussical the Musical, learning from each other to thrive using their unique conditions.
Set in Elmhurst, Chicago, the story explores teen life in today’s immigrant societies, leaving many questions tantalizingly unanswered. But that is the essence of teen life: agonizing, informative, exhilarating, insightful.
