  • The Edge of Mortality – now accepting pre orders!

    Greetings!

    I’m very excited to announce that my next book, The Edge of Mortality, is now accepting pre orders on Inkshares. Inkshares is a crowd funding platform that allows me to pitch my book to hundreds of potential readers, who may pledge support for a particular project if they like what they see. Read more about their model here.

    Dear readers, I’m asking for your support in any way you can. The book is half way done and your support will (quite literally) decide if this book lives or dies. A quick like or share on social media would go a long way in getting the word out, and if you’d like to go the extra mile, I’d be extremely grateful for that precious pre order. You can read and follow the story so far and pre order on the project site. The site will be refreshed regularly with additional chapters and project updates. Pledges will also have access to the manuscript in advance and be able to participate in the book’s success story!

    I am proud of our journey so far and hope your support will bring this book to fruition. Your feedback is always welcome.

    Happy reading!

  • New twitter handle: @authormihirk

    After weeks of weighing the pros and cons, I’ve finally decided to separate out my social media avenues in a quest to better promote and manage my work – as an author and publisher – in the new year. As a start to this process, I have acquired a new twitter handle – @authormihirk, and plan to dedicate it to news and happenings in my publishing space.

    If you were following my previous handle (@mihirmdkamat), you should switch over to the new handle. I’m still going to use the old one for posting links to my personal blogs and messages, so do stay tuned to that one as well if you are interested.

    I thank you for your continued support and hope you have a great New Year.

    – Mihir.

  • Holiday discount: Kindle editions of “At First Sight” at $0.99 or less!

    I’m offering a holiday discount for the Kindle version up until the end of the year, making At First Sight available for $0.99 (that is the minimum price Amazon requires me to set, else I would have made it available for free). Amazon works in mysterious ways; the price is fluid based on demand, so you could snag a copy at a much lower price (The price showing up today is $0.73).

    This special pricing on the Kindle edition is available until January 2, 2015. Hurry and get your copy now!

    The prices for the paperback edition are also reduced, set at $5.50, and again you could buy it for a lower price based on Amazon’s sale algorithm. The paperback edition is a special buy and a great gift for the holidays.

    Thanks for reading and happy holidays.

     

    – Mihir.

  • One month down, still going strong!

    It feels like just yesterday that I was scrambling around putting the finishing touches on “At First Sight”, my maiden book project, in time for it’s big worldwide launch on February 1, 2014. It has been slightly more than a month since that day, and I’m really proud of the way it has fared internationally and truly humbled by the love and support I’ve received from all my readers over the past month.

    I’d like to thank everyone who purchased a copy and read my work. Please know that your love means a lot to a first timer like me. I also take this opportunity to thank some of my well wishers who took time to post reviews on my site and various vendor portals where the book is available for purchase.

    Thanks again for all the love and wishes!

    P.S. To all my readers in India, wish you a very happy Holi!

    At First Sight is available worldwide through Amazon‘s network, and on Flipkart and Pothi bookstore in India. The digital version is also available, currently only on the Amazon Kindle store. See this page for all purchasing options.

  • Off to the presses!

    Off to the presses!

    For those of you who were wondering where I’d gone, you’re in for a treat. I’ve spent the last 30 days putting the finishing touches on my first ever book, titled “At First Sight”, a collection of short stories based on some of my previous work. The manuscript is finally ready and is off to the printers for a last round of validation.

    At First Sight is scheduled for launch on February 1, 2014. Watch this space for more on how to buy the book once launched.

    Here’s a blurb to get some buzz going!


    Join the author as he takes you on a journey into the magical world of love, where even a moment seems precious than a lifetime. At First Sight is a collection of short stories that touch upon delicate relationships in a special way, where each story explores the minds of its characters and how they go about their lives with love playing its part. Bear witness as a man declares his love for his woman. Feel close to a father’s heart as he cares for his newborn child. Or live the life of a grandfather for whom the happiness of his granddaughter means more than the world. Live each story as if it were your own.
