Neverfound Land is part 2 of the Djinn Series following Once Upon a Genie. So here, I am revealing the cover design of the book and hope you all like it and can anticipate the temperament of this book, although you can also read the blurb printed on the cover.

Since this post is dedicated to the cover design, it would be incomplete without introducing the artist behind it. Stefanie Saw based in Malaysia designed this beautiful cover; she is specialized in Fantasy genre. You can check more about here on Seventh Star Art. Thank you Stefaine for your dedication and bearing with me all time while working on this beautiful artwork, which is also, perfectly portraying the theme of the story.

NEVERFOUND LAND  is part two of the Djinn Series. It can also be read as a stand-alone book, or if you have read Once Upon A Genie, you can very well connect to all the characters of it like Daisy, Khalil and Darren.

Introducing Solomon, son of King Khalil and Daisy is a new protagonist of Neverfound Land.

The story has a diverse angle and I am sure you all going to love it!

Josh Talks Udaipur: A lifetime experience

By 7 Comments

Josh Talks 2018 was held in Udaipur on 4th February at IIM Udaipur Campus. It was pleasure being selected, and for getting the chance to share my life story on such a platform. This was a lifetime experience of speaking in front of an amazing crowd.

It’s been nearly a year since Once Upon a Genie was launched and coincidentally the book cover was also revealed at IIM Udaipur’s Lit Fest.

Josh Talks Udaipur also gave us the opportunity to know so many strong and inspirational people of Udaipur. Every story was worth knowing, specially the story of the cute little girl Labdhi Surana, an international skater and president awardee.

It made a special moment of my life when the crowd honored me with a standing ovation. I was speechless and overwhelmed, could not even express my gratitude there, so here I am thanking everyone who was present there and boosted my confidence.

These are some of the glimpses from Josh Talks Udaipur. I will upload the video link once they are ready with it.

Congratulations team Josh Talks for conducting a successful event in Udaipur!

You’ll soon be without threats in my friendship,

No matter what, you can enjoy walking around the garden-like globe.

The Geniean dreams; still in his impound, even his dreams often have blocks,

Wander in the garden with me, you will feel like the brave eagle. Suns, moons, planets and incandescent eyes, all will dance around you with the golden lights.

Whether you are a genie or human, it is makes no difference, for his world today is nonjudgmental. There is a floating ecstasy for his devotion.

Where else would you wish to climb to taste the choice of independence? Come with me, Oh come with me, my friend, join me in my wanderlust.
