My fist novel The Azure of Solicitude was published by an American publisher, and now the second one is going to be published by Copperhill Media.

In The Azure of Solicitude I am trying to outline the lives of two villages situating on the bank of Lake Vembanadu, one of the big watercourses of Kerala State, India.  It is mixed with reality and fantasy. That novel is being praised by readers and critics.

My second novel, The Ayurvedic Healer, is entirely a different one.  It is about the life of an Ayurvedic Healer, who lived for the well-being of others.  Despite he was a native of a Northern part of Kerala, he was forced to live in the middle of the State.

I have no direct connections with any Ayurvedic Physicians.  By reading several fiction and non-fiction works, I could go through the lives of persons who sacrificed for the people suffered from serious ailments. Sometimes they might have failed in some cases.  But yet they did not have taken back from their efforts. The protagonist of my novel Julian Thirumeni is the kind.

I have several times wondered about the decision of writing a novel on an Ayurvedic Healer.  Fact is that the founder of our family was an Ayurvedic Physician.  He was a Brahmin. Due to some external pressures, he was forced to convert in to Christianity. I had several times heard this occurrence from my father John Kaimaparamban.  He was like a friend of me. Being is first son, he had had more affection to me. His father might have fold him the old history.  I could understand that it was not connected with a female.

My first attempt of writing the story was in Malayalam, my mother tongue. Despite I wrote it completely it did not give me enough satisfaction. After several years I was writing it in English.

After finishing the first script, I several times have rewritten it. Sometimes I corrected some chapters, which I felt unsatisfactory.  At last it took an end.  I wish to submit this work as a tribute to my late parents John Kaimaparamban and Rosamma John.
