Colour Me Confounded : Poulomi Sanyal

Colour Me Confounded : Poulomi SanyalColour Me Confounded: A Tale of Two Tales

A friendship forgotten? A brewing romance? Is there more to it than meets the eye? Author Poulomi Sanyal draws upon her own experiences as a woman in the modern professional world to tell the stories of two women struggling with finding balance in their lives.

Both stories aim to take us on a turbulent yet humorous voyage through the emotional roller-coaster ride of intimate personal relationships both romantic and platonic. The main characters in this book struggle to strike a delicate balance between living up to the challenges of demanding professional pursuits and forging close personal ties with the people that unwittingly cross their paths. Their journeys take them across many continents and through wild adventures while their relationships are subject to unexpected and often astounding twists and turns.

In the first of two stories, teenagers Rupa and Minerva think they will be friends forever. The two high school girls are virtually inseparable, despite their many differences. Years later, Rupa looks back on that relationship and the dramatic incident that ended their friendship. While she writes her memoir and travels the world, she comes to a realization about her connection with Minerva and the experiences they shared.

The second story centers on Ariana, a Canadian Iranian engineer. She is happy with her work in Toronto, but a friend’s surprise career move brings back old memories of a previous job in Montreal. She hated that job and felt isolated and unappreciated. There was one person, however, who made it worthwhile.

As both Ariana and Rupa look back on their pasts, they come to startling discoveries about their current lives. Will these insights lead the two to choose different paths—or just fill them with more regret?

The Old Man And The King : Joe Corso

The Old Man And The King : Joe CorsoThe Old Man And The King

Royal protocol dictated that the King exit the car last, but as the important man was about to emerge, a hail of gunfire erupted, spraying the royal Hummer.

“The Talvanian King watched in shock as, one by one, his car’s occupants fell limp to the ground.” Alone, in a foreign city, he seeks temporary refuge in the Good Burger diner.

Here he meets Lom, a Korean War vet, who misses his old life of danger and intrigue and who embraces the idea of hunting those who are hunting the King. Lom does so by, first, kicking ass and taking names, and second, by teaching the baby-faced King the ways of the street, battlefield style.

His written message is clear: “I HEARD YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ME. NOW I’M LOOKING FOR YOU!”

This action packed hunt for the assassins begins with the United Nations and takes us from Charlie’s New York City pawn shop, deep into secret underground passageways, into hidden train stations and desolate warehouses, and ultimately to carefully orchestrated deals with jewel thieves and gun runners.

Things move along well until the heart-wrenching kidnapping. With the clock ticking against him, Lom must think quickly in order to save the life of the one he loves. Will the old man make it in time? Will the King live? Only time and his survival skills . . . will tell.

After three ex-husbands, two successful novels, and one disastrous book she’d rather forget ever having written, Fiona Fields has hit a wall. Days once filled with critics gushing over her latest masterpiece have given way to endless hours spent lying on her living room floor in Lakeview Valley, the tiny North Carolina mountain town of her youth, and staring at her ceiling.

But after Fiona’s agent calls with an opportunity intended to drag her back into the land of the living, Fiona finds herself inspired by her ex-step-daughter, Karen, and she’s soon off and running with a brand new idea for a book and a brand new lease on life (sort of).

What Fiona doesn’t anticipate is long-buried family secrets revealing themselves and threatening to upend her newfound momentum. As she struggles to make sense of revelations about the life she thought she knew, Fiona will find that the past often shows up in the present in very unexpected ways, and that, try as she might, she’s not exempt from the 215-year-old Lakeview tradition of long-forgotten secrets coming to light in spectacular fashion.
