A Midsummer Tale
“A Midsummer Tale” is a rhyming story with a magical theme – a heartwarming HAPPY EVER AFTER tale.
It is a tale of two young girls whose lives connect in a wonderfully magical way on a midsummer night, triggered by a strange apparition and a shared peculiar experience, which changed the course of their lives by setting in motion some random, unexpected events (with transformational results).
This is a tale of courage, resilience, and kindness in the face of adversity. It is the story of two young girls finding true love, realising their self-worth, and securing their happily ever after—with everyone getting their just rewards.
So, it also involves some necessary transformational magic: a positive necessity when dealing with an unkind character who doesn’t yet deserve her happy ever after but who may eventually (because of that magic) be able to redeem herself and have one.
But that’s another story.

Past Solvers: The Trilogy
What if the past could be edited like a manuscript—quietly, carefully, invisibly?
From the ancient scrolls of Heneku to the fall of the Bureau, the Past Solvers Trilogy follows the secret order tasked with preserving history by gently correcting it. Through dust-covered memories, hidden glyphs, and the ever-watchful eyes of time itself, Thomas Quest and Johnny Minute walk the echoes of forgotten moments, saving futures no one knows are in danger.
But when machines begin to solve the past without permission, the mission becomes a question:
What happens when time no longer needs us?
Spanning centuries and lost lifetimes, this genre-defying epic is a profound meditation on memory, legacy, and the quiet work of those who keep history from falling apart.
Some stories rewrite history. This one remembers it.

Prelude to Change, Hong Kong of the 1950s
In the 1950s, when few people had the means or opportunity to travel the world, the Cold War was at its height. On one side stood the Western powers; on the other, an uneasy alliance between Russia and Communist China. Young National Servicemen manned a large wireless listening post on Hong Kong Island, in defiance of the massive communist neighbor to the north. This posting offered these young men an otherwise unattainable chance to journey to the other side of the globe and experience a way of life that had persisted, with little change, since Hong Kong was forcibly colonized by Great Britain in 1841. The most significant change was a massive increase in population, spurred by the upheaval of the Chinese civil war that ended with the communist victory over the Nationalists in 1949. As depicted here, Hong Kong was both beautiful and, for many, impoverished, but always fascinating during this pivotal time in history.

The Whirlpool of Destiny
This story explores the meaning of humanity through the lives of those bound by tradition, superstition, and the long-standing feud between two villages in a Himalayan valley. The bitterness between them has endured since the days of the British Raj. The Holy Man of the Himalayas gifts a silver flute to young Vidhi, telling her she is like a candle. As she burns slowly, she brings light to those around her. He declares that she alone will bring peace and prosperity to the valley. Eight years later, he unites the two rival families by arranging a marriage between their children.
Some journeys take us far from home and lead us to our true destiny. In a quiet corner of that valley, a kind woman named Betty watches the life of the young bride next door unfold. Betty still remembers how, during the war, her husband and his friend were saved by strangers in Burma. Her husband never forgot them, and often said that gratitude is the memory of the heart. It helps make sense of our past and brings peace to the present.
With his words etched in her heart, Betty opens her home to Vidhi after the young bride is cruelly abandoned. Over the next two decades, Vidhi faces racial prejudice and the scorn of her own community. Yet through it all, Betty stands beside her like a true mother. For Betty, the greatest gift in life is being a mother. Though she could not fully be that to her own daughter, Kathy, she becomes something just as powerful to Vidhi.
