I am not really sure which of the bookstores have my books in stock. Many have them, some don’t. It’s very difficult to keep track. However, it is far easier for an author to provide links to on-line portals where the time to deliver is clearly stated. So, here goes as I try to put together all the links I came across, which you can use to order my books. Terms and conditions as also the prices do vary, but this may be useful to readers:- Continue reading “Ordering My Books”
Category: “Lucky For Some, 13”
My second thriller, about a terror strike in India, published by Mahaveer Publishers in 2012.
It’s comments like these from readers that make your day as an author. Here is what Subhash Nayak wrote on the FB Page for “Prem Rao, Storyteller.”:-
Thoroughly enjoyed “Lucky For Some, 13″ from start to finish! The vivid descriptions of each of the characters; the buildup of how certain events and people in one’s life could convert an ordinary person into a terrorist; the plot set up in Bangalore with the familiar streets and landmarks; the brutality with which the hostage situation plays out; and the nail biting operation to flush out the terrorists – all make for a very interesting thriller that quite literally is unputdownable! The epilogue is the icing on the cake as the author subtly observes that some things could, but would, never change. Look forward to the next novel :-)”
“Lucky For Some, 13” can be ordered from Amegabooks, HomeShop 18 or Flipkart amongst many on-line portals.

Till now the focus was arranging for the book launch for my second thriller, “Lucky For Some, 13.” In today’s abbreviated language, I hear it being called, “LFS13.” I am so glad the book launch went off very well. It was held on December 1, 2012 at Reliance TimeOut in Mantri Square. The first copy of the book was presented by Mr. Bijou Kurien, President & CEO, Lifestyle, Reliance Retail to Mr. & Mrs. K. Unnikrishnan, the Guests of Honour. You may like to see the pictures of the book launch here. Continue reading “LFS 13 Launched!”
I am delighted that the invitation to the launch of my second thriller, “Lucky For Some, 13” has been released by Reliance TimeOut. The Guests of Honour will be Mr. & Mrs. Unnikrishnan, parents of the late Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Ashoka Chakra. This will be on December 1, 2012 at Reliance TimeOut @Mantri Square.
In the meanwhile, as is the norm these days, on line sales are on, pardon the pun! It was very gratifying to see that LFS13 ranks #1 among the “New Releases” in Amegabooks, where it is still available for a very reasonable Rs. 98/- Really, at that price, it is a steal!
