The stories in “Bandilanka's Forgotten Lives” affected me deeply. They are simply told, but the simplicity of style is one reason I found them impactful. Their lives are lived simply by virtue of their material poverty. These people [have] a voice, a humanity that are often denied them.

Inspiration for my "Murders Most Trans-Gressive" (July 2025): “Manidhum Mallaratum” (May Humanity Prevail) Mural in Ernavur, Chennai, painted as a tribute to Tara, a transgender-woman who was burnt alive in 2016 outside a police station in Chennai, South India. (kamakshimurti.blog)

I recently launched my latest Leela/Meena murder mystery ("Murders Most Trans-Gressive") in Kolkata, India. The video highlights what I hope will be helpful in creating order out of the chaos in which we are living.

So excited to announce that my "Lalli unveils a window" has just been launched by Leadstart in India. My indomitable teenager Lalli doesn't allow her prosthetic leg Medusa to prevent her from solving a most dangerous kidnapping - that of a dear friend. @childrensbookshop.bsky.social
