New author from India

Hi all,

My real name is John Joseph and assumed ‘Joy J. Kaimaparamban’ as the pen name. I was born on October 1939 in a middle class family of Kerala, the south most state of India. After education I became a schoolmaster. Worked in several Kerala government schools teaching English language in middle school classes and retired in 1995. Now residing at Vayalar, a beautiful lakeside village in Alappuzha (Alleppey) district with my wife and two children.

My first novel 'The Azure of Solicitude' is published by Publish America last year. My novel depicts the life of 2 villagers on the banks of Vembanadu backwaters of Kerala, India. They earn their livelihood from lime making and coir making. Please visit my website www.kaimaparamban.com for more details about me and my novel.

I have completed two more novels and searching for an agent to represent them.

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with the book!

Welcome John. Seems we were both born in the same year.

So, now I have two cyber-acquaintances from Kerala. A young man on another board where I post sometimes has written eloquently of the beauty of his home. Looking at your pictures, I see even more clearly what he meant.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum, John! I like your website. It's very well done and informative. Wishing you lots of luck in your search for an agent. You've written so many books! Amazing.

I agree that your website is beautiful. Your book sounds quite interesting.

I have visited India and found it fascinating and the people beautiful.
