A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us – Kafka – Book Launch by Anita Bacha

My latest book, “The Adventures of Alicia Parker,” is a heartfelt exploration of loss and resilience. Through Alicia’s journey, I hope to resonate with readers who have faced similar challenges. Join me as we uncover the power of storytelling to heal and inspire.

I wrote and published my fifth book for children and teenagers a few months ago.

The message that I wanted to tear from my heart and share with the world was out.

I’m a motherless child. I lost my mom when I was barely seven years old. The rest of my life was spent in the world of adults, mostly cruel and unscrupulous men and women.

I studied law and I became a lawyer, but I cherished the passion for writing. I wrote poetry and short stories and had my work published. Writing helped me to realize myself. My heart was frozen since the day my mother died. I lived in a warm cocoon before and suddenly I was alone with my fears.

My latest book has captured the emotions of a motherless child and this child could be me or you or anyone.

My passion for books and for writing once again drove my steps to the London Book Fair at Olympia in London last month.

I was flabbergasted to see the innumerable children books exposed. I met several publishers including the Austin Macauley team and I was curious to know about the future of writers of children books.

I was over the moon to learn from a big children book publisher that ‘ for Austin Macauley to publish your story means that your story is a very good one!’ He wished to remain anonymous because he is a publisher too.

With my book ‘The Princess and the Crow’ I was proud to walk around visiting the book stalls as an author of Austin Macauley.

My Rajasthan friends bought their copy of The Princess and the Crow from Amazon India. I am sharing a photo of village children in Malpura reading a paperback copy.

I am invited by Austin Macauley to submit a new manuscript. It dawned upon me to write unique stories about my childhood.

Why unique? Because each one of us has a unique childhood.

I’m working on a new book for children except that it will take some time to write because of my eyes problems.

With your blessings I will write!

Legacy – A Poem by Anita Bacha

In her steps,I tread

Her love a guiding light

With every word she said

She showed me what is right

Lovely as a summer day

She taught me by example

In her own gentle caring way

Her wisdom a precious sample

I picked her pen when she left

Her legacy in my hands

In my poems and in my writes

My mom’s spirit forever stands

On the Quay of Farewell – A Poem by Anita Bacha

On the quay of farewell 

In a covetous embrace 

You gave me your heart 

On the quay of farewell 

You wiped my tears with your lips 

You offered me your eyes 

On the quay of farewell 

You spoke to me about your suffering 

You wanted my mouth to feel your fading breath 

On the quay of farewell 

You wanted me to remember your desires 

Your thirst and your hunger insatiate 

On the quay of farewell 

You fumbled for the tenderness and sweetness that are in me

That you will never find in another 

On the quay of farewell 

You hugged me tight in your arms 

You wanted to keep me forever 

On the quay of farewell 

Heavy as a winter coat 

The separation bent you into two 

And you shouted my name 

Anita Bacha 

Thank you for viewing and reading my dear friends 

Happy evening

The Princess and the Crow – Illustrated Children’s Book by Anita Bacha

Hold the hand of the child that lives in your soul 

For this child nothing is impossible 

Paulo Coelho 

Author of The Alchemist 

As a child I was fond of reading books.My papa offered me my first illustrated children’s book in French ‘Toto et Titi’ when I was three. I delved in the pages of my treasured book and I had a dream. I dreamt of my name on the front cover of the book.

I cherished the dream for a long time. Writing a book for children sounded like impossible… a poetry book for adults crossed my mind often. Yet I hold on to the dream of writing a book for all the children in the world.

This dream became true when many many years after, I wrote and published my debut children’s book, The Princess and the Crow.

Many of you may have read that book and many of you are aspiring authors.

Hold the hand of the child that lives in your soul and make the impossible become possible NOW.

Anita Bacha

Thank you for reading my dear friends.
