About the Book:
“The Missing Fairy Princess” is the story of a 16-year-old fairy princess pitted against a powerful witch. The witch has stolen a potent new mantra developed by a colleague, ruthlessly snuffing out a brilliantly innovative mind. She then hatches an elaborate plot to frame an adversary for her misdeed. Her intention is to exact sweet revenge from her foe and at the same time, get away with the theft. The victim, caught in her vicious web, is doomed to disgrace and a life sentence on a harsh penal colony. Meanwhile, the witch learns from her crystal ball, about an imminent threat from a fairy princess wearing a pink tiara. To ward off that threat she kidnaps the fairy princess, wipes her memory clean and then turns her into a two-year-old girl.
Unfortunately for the culprit, she has goofed up by kidnapping the wrong fairy princess, Merlyn, instead of Ashlyn, her twin. The mistake turns out to be the undoing of the witch because Ashlyn proves to be her nemesis. The brilliant fairy princess exposes the cobweb of misleading evidence fabricated by the witch, ultimately unmasking her.
If you love mystery, whodunit, with a dash of magical realism and sci-fi, this book is for you.

How to write fantasy fiction? Tips and advices.
I recollect an article which I had read a long ago which propounded a shocking theory that an average adult hardly uses less than 5-10% of his or her brain during the entire life. If true, the scope of the remainder of the mind is stupendous.
The author is endowed with a fertile imagination. Actually, in the countless nooks and corners of our complex mind, fantasies bound galore. What you need to do is to be able to reach into those crevices. I am not suggesting that it is an easy task. In fact, it is an arduous task and you certainly would have to strain every bit to be able to achieve it. On the plus side, after the initial hard work and you train your mind, you may find the subsequent similar exercises much smoother.
Second, there is a saying that there is a child within each of us. Set free that child within you and let go with your imagination. You will reach such heights a normal person bound by logic and limits couldn’t possibly attain those.
Third, no author is free of ‘author blocks’. They can be really frustrating and can bog you down. The sure way of conquering them is self-belief. It is a temporary phase and ultimately, with positive thinking you can overcome it.
Fourth and final one, an important one that. Never fall prey to a temptation to copy from someone else’s idea. It is just not worth it and in the end, after all the troubles you will have to go through, it’ll leave you ruing the moment you succumbed to it.
