THE AXXISS TRILOGY.
A work in progress and I have completed
the draft of the first novel.
A sweeping adventure trilogy in which
a magical black dog and six teenage children have to
seek the help of Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, Einstein,
Gandhi, among others, and enter a parallel universe,
to find the key that will send the evil Gondwana kingdom,
released from the deep by a massive earthquake, back
down to the bottom.
CHILDREN OF THE ENCHANTED JUNGLE (Scholastic
2009)
A young adult novel about orphaned
children and their wildlife friends fighting against
an evil witch to save their jungle from destruction.
THE IMPERIAL AGENT (Penguin 2009)
Penguin has reissued my best seller
which continues the life story of Kipling’s character,
Kim. Click on the cover for reviews and an excerpt.
Later this year, Penguin will bring
out IMPERIAL AGENT II, THE LAST
VICTORY which continues the Kim story to THE
END. It has to be read after Part I.
LIMPING TO THE
CENTRE OF THE WORLD. A journey to Mount Kailash.
NON-FICTION. Penguin India. (2008)
I trekked to Mount Kailash/Lake Mansarovar
in remote western Tibet on a pilgrimage. It is considered
one of the hardest pilgrimages on earth due to the hostile
but awesome terrain. I didn’t mean to write a
book but that’s what happens to writers. We write
them despite ourselves.
The book was launched with an audio-visual
presentation at The Park, Chennai, in June 2008. The
Deccan Chronicle wrote ‘The 120 people who attended
the presentation went home grateful to Murari for taking
the trip, thanks to the incredible experiences and stories
he told them.’
THE SMALL HOUSE. FICTION.
Penguin India. (2007)
The Small House is a many-layered
exploration of the fragility of modern-day relationships,
of desire, passion and ambition, and of memories that
lie in wait to threaten the present.
‘TAJ-
A story of Mughal India’

just bought the rights. That makes 15 translations in
