Soul Climate is the third of my novels to have its first publication in India, set in India with Indian themes. Neem Dreams (2003) set in the early free trade era of the 1990s has four strangers connect over neem, age-old traditional source of medicine and household use; now multi-national corporations want to patent it. With the Tiger (2008) rewrites an earlier novel by Somerset Maugham to explore the Westerner’s search for meaning in India. The two earlier books are available on Lulu.com, and I am happy to send digital or paper copies to anyone on request.
I hope some time someone might critically consider these three novels together
