Blog postCheck out this awesome reading of Chapter one of The Dream Catchers, courtesy of Itsy Bitsy Book Bits!
I didn't realize, until the video began, just how strange it is to hear someone read out aloud the words that came out of your brian.
But this reading was really well done!
Thanks for bringing the characters to life :)

Blog postAs I work on putting the finishing touches to PRESTORIA - out on June 21st, 2021, I am having mixed feelings.
I was really emotional when I first set eyes on the book cover.
To be able to put a face to the female protagonist of my book, Radhika Varma... it was as though I was meeting a long-lost daughter.
All of these characters have been incubating in my head for so long, and now I am finally sending them out into the world to be their own little persons.&nbs1 year ago Read more

RADHIKA VARMA has an overactive imagination – everyone says so...
But when she is chosen to participate in a Challenge held in Prestoria – the land of nightmares, she must use every bit of wild imagination she possesses to fight for her life. As one of eleven Dream Catchers and armed only with her imagination, Radhika must conjure her own weaponry against powerful ancient creatures like the Vyalas and the Rakshasas, and get to the magical portal before dawn. Fail to do so, and she will be forced to stay behind in Prestoria forever.However, when she is suspected of attacking the other Dream Catchers, Radhika realizes that there is more going on than meets the eye. With mere minutes left until dawn, will Radhika manage to clear her name, complete the Challenge and get back home, or will a thirst for vengeance lead to Prestoria claiming her as its own?
Set in the mysterious realm of nightmares, J. U. Menon's The Dream Catchers is a fast-paced high fantasy adventure through Indian myths and folklore. An extraordinary tale of courage and self-discovery!
