• Author's Name: BS Murthy
• Your Email Address: bulususmurthy@gmail.com
• About the Author: BS Murthy is an Indian novelist, playwright, short story, non-fiction 'n articles writer, translator, a 'little' thinker and a budding philosopher in ‘Addendum to Evolution: Origins of the World by Eastern Speculative Philosophy’ that was originally published in The Examined Life On-Line Philosophy Journal, Vol. 05 Issue 18, Summer 2004.
  Born on 27 Aug 1948 and schooled in letter-writing, he happened to articulate his managerial ideas in thirty-odd published articles, and later came to pen Benign Flame: Saga of Love, Jewel-less Crown: Saga of Life, Crossing the Mirage: Passing through youth (plot and character driven novels), Glaring Shadow: A stream of consciousness novel, Prey on the Prowl: A Crime Novel, Of No Avail: Web of Wedlock, a novella, Stories Varied: A Book of Short Stories and Onto the Stage: Slighted Souls and other stage and radio plays.
  Moreover, besides Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife (A Critical Appraisal of Islamic Faith, Indian Polity ‘n More), a ‘novel’ narrative, possibly in a new genre, and the critique Inane Interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita (An Invocation for their Revocation) in the arena of non-fiction, his literary endeavors in the translation zone had been the versification of the Sanskrit epics, Vyasa’s Bhagvad-Gita as Treatise of self-help and Valmiki’s Sundara Kãnda as Hanuman’s Odyssey in contemporary English idiom.
  Later, as a prodigal son, he took to his mother tongue, Telugu, to craft the short story తప్పటడుగులు (Missteps).
  While his fiction had emanated from his conviction that for it to impact readers, it should be the soulful rendering of characters rooted in their native soil but not the hotchpotch of local and alien caricatures sketched on a hybrid canvas, all his body of work was borne out of his passion for writing, matched only by his love for language.
  His body of work as above is in the public domain as free ebooks https://g.co/kgs/hzavoV
  Also, some of his articles on management issues, general insurance topics, literary matters, and political affairs published in The Hindu, The Economic Times, The Financial Express. The Purchase, The Insurance Times, Triveni , Boloji.com are reproduced in Academia.edu

  "This book gets an easy 5 out of 5 stars from me. It was extremely hard to put down, and the characters became as familiar as old friends." 
~Literary Titan

  
  "Angel A’s HOLY PARROT is a well-written, compelling novel with an engaging story line and characters with depth, interesting motivations, and lots of personality."
  ~Florence Osmund for IndieReader

  
  "Holy Parrot ideally will assume an active role in any book club or reader group interested in the intersection between science and faith, the resulting drive for a better life, and the miracles that can power such convictions."
~D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
  
  “Author Angel A knows how to keep readers in the palm of his hand, delivering a superb range of dramatic highs and lows that come from some really surprising and eye-opening clashes of opinion and belief.”
  ~K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite
  
  “It´s not often I´m surprised by a novel. And I read A LOT! But, in the case of Holy Parrot, I thought, “Yes, that´s a remarkably original plot.”
  ~The Wishing Shelf
  
  “Holy Parrot is an unpredictable read that celebrates the human spirit over conventional skepticism. We recommend it for readers wanting something distinctively crafted by a gifted author.”
  ~AuthorsReading
  
  “In smooth and polished prose, Angel A compellingly examines the myriad and sometimes opposing ways in which humans deal with the challenges of life and faith, questioning our over reliance on science and scientific methods and our doubt and distrust about more traditional streams of knowledge, especially those of non-European origin.”
  ~Publishers Weekly Booklife

• About the Author: Growing up I always had an interest in poetry. I felt a calmness and relief from writing In a way that nothing else could. Living at home with 7 younger siblings can be loud at times and it gets very difficult to find a space to write.
