Behold the smooth fall
Like shining velvet on looms
Water flows down hill

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 13 ; the thirteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write.

Book Title:  The Sinister Silence Author:  Moitrayee Bhaduri Publisher: Srishti Publishers My Rating:  *** About the Author: This is Moitrayee Bhaduri's debut as a novelist. A content specialist by profession, the author has graduated with History Honours and has completed M.A. too.

Last month, a contest was organised in one of the Facebook groups called FWBA- For Writers by Authors and the Top 3 book cover designs were to be picked. Being a professionally qualified graphic designer for more than a decade now and an active member of the group, I was asked to pick my favourites from t...
