Genre: Historical Fiction

British Gujarat, 1905.

Despairing of the social injustices and crippling taxes under the British Raj, Lalji, 19, flees to British East Africa hoping to build a better life using his natural business skills and acumen. But he soon finds unexpected dangers in his new home- turbulent politics and war with German East Africa- as well as some surprising opportunities. A combination of luck, coincidence, and his flair for commerce lead to early success. 

Then, just as he is at his most vulnerable, a new threat emerges from where he least expects: from within his own family. 

Can Lalji beat overwhelming odds to fulfill his hopes and ambitions?

A story about survival, faith, ability, humanity, and a deep desire to succeed.

Author Bio:

Historical novelist of Indian parentage, born and raised in Kenya, educated in England, writing about India and East Africa under the British Empire.

Nitin has come to writing his debut novel after retiring as a doctor. Born in Kenya before its independence he came to England at the age of fifteen. His parentage is Indian, his grandfather having moved during the British Raj from Gujarat in India to Colonial East Africa as an economic migrant.

'Lalji's Nairobi' is set in the early part of the last century, inspired by the stories of Indian migrants who settled in East Africa. A 'rags to riches' story of the experiences of Lalji as a determined young businessman who grapples with the challenges of living in the new colony.

Within the backdrop of a racist administration, Nitin immerses the reader into the times and norms of colonial society and shows how Lalji achieves rapid success despite difficult odds, leading a team of four compatriots from his village.

The novel is well-researched and retains the undertones of the era. Nitin's intimate knowledge of the three cultures of the colony (British, Indian, and African) succeeds in making this an enjoyable and authentic read.

'Lalji's Nairobi' is now an award-winning novel that recently won acclaim from the prestigious New Generation Indie Book Awards as a 'Finalist'. It also earned Five Stars and the 'Highly Recommended' award of excellence from The Historical Fiction Company, which has recently also awarded the book with a silver medal in the Blixen Africa Category.

Excerpt 4:

Janki’s morning sickness settled as suddenly as it had come. The initial tiredness was replaced by a breathless feeling when she did anything strenuous. Husnara’s arrival provided a welcome change in their lives, the two women able to share each other’s perspectives and provide mutual support.

Husnara was gregarious, chubby-faced and chatty. Jet black hair with soft waves on the sides made her look older than her years when she was not wearing a head scarf. She wore her scarf to go outdoors which seemed to make her look like a teenager, her fresh looks accentuated by her mascara. She had to learn and get familiar with Africa and Nairobi’s ways. She found the climate cold but was thankful for the small numbers of mosquitos. Like Janki, she excelled in cooking and both shared long conversations and recipes. They compared the different styles of cooking they had been brought up with. Husnara had helped her sister through two pregnancies and was reassuring for Janki to have around.

“You need to rest more Jankibhabhi,” she would say when Janki got short of breath.

“I know, but I need to also remain active. Show you more of Nairobi before the baby arrives.”

“Nizar will show me Nairobi. Right now, we need you to get the baby delivered. There will be time for everything else later.”

Towards the time of the delivery, Janki found it difficult to be active. She was troubled with back ache and leg aches which landed her in bed for long periods. Husnara and James managed the household chores, shopping and cooking together. 

One day James came to Janki and asked her, “Mama, I see that the arrival of Mungu’s toto (God’s child), is near?”

“Yes, James. We may get busier then,” sighing.

“Mama kidogo (younger Mama), will also get busier in helping with the toto.”

“We will see how it goes,” replied Janki, wondering where this was leading to.

“I will be able to manage all the cooking on my own, Mama. The two of you can look after the toto.”

Janki had been feeling unusually emotional in those days, suddenly burst out crying at James’ kindness. A shocked James lost his composure, not comprehending Janki’s reaction.

“If that is fine with you Mama. I don’t want to say anything wrong, Mama. I apologise Mama.”

Husnara arrived when she heard Janki crying. “What is it, what happened Jankiben?” she asked worriedly.

“It’s nothing. James here was telling me how excited he is at becoming an uncle,” Janki replied, looking at James with tenderness in her eyes. “I found it touching.”

James looked down at his feet, not understanding his own emotions or Janki’s response, for a moment not sure if he had said something wrong. Then he felt a rush of emotion and goodwill at being addressed as an uncle of the unborn child, not daring to make eye contact with Janki, wiping away a tear.

“Oh! Yes, that is good,” said Husnara. “Now you must rest more. These final days are physically and emotionally wearing.

Ghost Encounters - sharing another excerpt!

Come with me to explore North Devon's rural beauty,

its history... 

... and its ghosts!

(Amazon Universal Link)

paperback publication date 27th February

Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile.

Actually, most of them are not. 

You either believe in the existence of ghosts or you don’t. It depends on whether you’ve encountered something supernatural or not.

here's a short excerpt

Excerpt 2

Many of the encounters related in this narrative are personal in origin, not second-hand anecdotes or over-dramatised (and mostly unbelievable) tales to deliberately scare and frighten. Some of the private locations mentioned are inaccessible to public scrutiny, but there are enough public places, such as old pubs, villages and beaches, for ghost enthusiasts to explore – and maybe experience a friendly encounter or two.

Accompanied by photographs of some of the locations – and animals – featured in the text, Ghost Encounters will fascinate all who enjoy this beautiful region of South-West England, as well as interest those who wish to discover more about its history. And a few of its ghosts.

WELCOME TO NORTH DEVON

Published in three volumes between 1724-1727, Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe (and a government spy as a secondary occupation), produced A Tour Thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain. South Devon impressed him but North Devon he declared to be, ‘Wild, barren and poor.’ He was right about the wild landscape, for Exmoor has a natural beauty of dramatic scenery and a rugged, breath-taking coastline that, in the past, saw many a tragic shipwreck.

Ghost, spirit, shade, presence, spectre, soul – whatever term you prefer to use, unless you are a sceptic the general thinking about ghosts is that these unexplained phenomena are troubled or tormented apparitions which haunt the places where they died. They are misty shapes curling beneath trees, lurking in dark shadows or eerie cellars while oozing an atmosphere of supernatural horror. Spirits allegedly remain through spite or remorse; their only intention is to frighten living people in any and every way they can.

Most of this thinking is generated by religious beliefs and enhanced by the fascination for horror novels and Hollywood movies of the paranormal. Exposing an angry poltergeist or a vengeful demon is common on the TV or cinema screen. Readers and viewers (for some unfathomable reason!) like to be scared. There are hostile spirits creating hostile environments, but outside of high drama and the movies, these are in a minority.

Movies such as Ghostbusters are not so frightening, but perpetuate the belief that unfriendly ghosts are to be extinguished as soon as possible. A few ghost movies, however, are clever – Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter spring to mind. Hamlet, of course, is a ghost story, as is Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The 1945 version of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit starring Rex Harrison and Margaret Rutherford is delightfully amusing. UK TV had its share of entertaining concepts, and a more recent BBC sitcom series, Ghosts (2019-2023), brought further entertainment as adult comedy. The ghosts in this series remain, bored with their repetitive routine, in the house where they died. When new owners arrive, they initially resent the intrusion but then discover the joy of new company and watching television. I often complain that my husband forgets to turn the telly off when he goes out, but now I feel obliged to leave it on in case our resident ghosts were also watching. 

A pity they don’t pay anything towards our electricity bill.

You are more than welcome to leave a comment, thought, observation or your own encounter/s below, but please no rudeness or insults.

My guest: Mary - Tudor Princess (and author Tony Riches)

Personal Statement:

Born at Sheen Palace, on 18th March, 1496, I am often mistaken for my niece, Queen Mary of England. I’m best known as the youngest sister of King Henry VIII. 

Henry married me off to King Louis XII to secure peace with our troublesome neighbours. I liked being Queen of France, but Louis was thirty years older than me, and I object to the suggestion he died because my ‘vigorous’ love making. (He always fell asleep before I did.) 

I knew my brother would be furious when I married Charles Brandon, as he’d made Charles promise not to ask, but as Duchess of Suffolk I am one of the senior ladies of Court.

Work Experience 

I think I make a good princess, and am one of the closest women to the king (list of the names of the others available on request). I also gained useful work experience on the continent, and did I mention that I’m the Dowager Queen of France?

I run the household at Westhorpe Hall, and manage over a hundred servants, as well as organising banquets and royal visits.

I was recently chosen to welcome my brother’s latest, Anne of Cleves, and had to explain our English ways to her (quite a challenge as the only English she speaks is what they could teach her on the journey from Germany.) She seems a bit bewildered by it all, but I’m sure she’ll be perfect for Henry.

Education

Fluent in French, and Latin, I am learning German (from Anne of Cleves). I have a working knowledge of household accounts, and have learned to manage my husband’s debts.

Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy music, and play the lute and clavichord. I also like dancing and embroidery. I like to keep fit with riding, hunting, and falconry, and keep greyhounds.

MORE ABOUT GHOST ENCOUNTERS... read an excerpt

Are you interested in North Devon's rural beauty,

Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile.

Actually, most of them are not. 

You either believe in the existence of ghosts or you don’t. It depends on whether you’ve encountered something supernatural or not.

here's a short excerpt

Excerpt 1

INTRODUCTION

“Sadly, I don’t think a book about friendly ghosts will get much traction,” suggested an acquaintance. Kindly meant, for almost everyone assumes that ghosts and paranormal entities are hostile and frightening. An assumption perpetuated by intentionally scary stories, religious taboo, movies and TV docu-drama ‘haunted house’ shows. Non-believers – in many cases, correctly – maintain that supernatural experiences are caused by hallucinations of various kinds, the brain visualising something odd into something explainable, or the results of electronic equipment being conveniently misinterpreted. But there does not seem to be any explanation for the same ‘ghosts’ being seen in the same place at different times by different people. And actually, the majority of souls that are encountered by genuine Mediums and Spiritualists are not nasty spooks out to scare us. It’s about time that the Hallowe’en image of fear and superstition was firmly set aside. Most ghosts are non-threatening, friendly and indifferent to our presence – or even as unaware of us as most of us are of them.

Here in North Devon, spirits from the past might be encountered where they would be expected – on battle sites, in old pubs and inns, walking the corridors of old houses or lingering on the dockside where tall ships once dropped anchor. But they can also be found beside busy roads, strolling along quiet country lanes, and even keeping an eye on a busy modern car park. And lingering spirits are not limited to people, for animals remain among us as well. It is, I think, comforting to know that our loved ones – human and pets – are, in some way, still with us.

Whether you believe in the supernatural or not is a matter for individual consideration, but for those who have the gift to see, hear or be aware of people from the past, meeting with them in today’s environment can generate a connection to years gone by. Those who came before us and who chose to remain among us, whether strangers or relatives and ancestors, are to be welcomed, not feared.

About the Book

The Leap Year Proposal

Three women. One crazy hen weekend. A life-changing decision.

When three women meet on a mutual friend’s hen weekend on the Scottish island of Arran, they get more than they bargained for when one of them has the genius idea of proposing on 29 February, like the age-old Irish tradition.

High-flying businesswoman Anouska and boyfriend Zach are deliriously happy and madly in love. If only they had more time together. But now she’s pregnant and doesn’t know how to tell him since having kids hadn’t featured in their plans.

Dog walker Jess lives with her childhood sweetheart, but they’re already like an old married couple, without the romance, or the wedding, or the ring. When Mark doesn’t propose on New Year’s Eve, Jess is gutted and decides to take matters into her own hands.

Ellie and Scott still live apart after six years, and his lack of commitment is a sore point. She’s up for a huge promotion which involves moving country. It’s make-or-break time. She needs to know he’s worth turning down the job for.

The women meet weekly, helping each other with decisions big and small, becoming each other’s support system in the run-up to ‘the big ask’.

Will love conquer all or will their hopes and dreams come crashing down around them?

Read An Excerpt

Anouska is on her friend’s hen weekend. She has just discovered she is pregnant and hasn’t told her long-term boyfriend yet. The hens have unearthed a wedding quiz and the bride-to-be has appointed herself quizmaster after being put through a quiz of her own only moments earlier.

A few questions later, Anouska was on the verge of falling asleep when Kelsea said, ‘This is an interesting one. Would you propose on the twenty-ninth of February, like the old Irish tradition, where a woman can only propose to a man once every four years? That goes to Ellie.’

A shadow passed over Ellie’s face, but she quickly recovered before saying, ‘At this rate, I may have to.’

The others laughed.

‘Yeah, but would you?’ Kelsea pressed, before taking a sip of her Prosecco.

Ellie pursed her lips for a few seconds then said, ‘I reckon I would, given the right circumstances.’

‘Really?’ Kelsea squeaked. ‘I could never do that. It’s a good thing Cooper asked me, or we’d just be living with each other forever.’

Marriage. Even with the weekend’s surroundings, it wasn’t something Anouska had ever thought about in any detail. She was too independent, too woman of the world. She had to be. It took a lot to run her own human resources company in twelve countries. And although she and Zach loved each other, they were perfectly happy with the status quo.

‘What about you, Lauren?’ Kelsea asked.

‘I’d do it in a heartbeat. Why should the guys have all the fun, and make all the decisions?’

Kelsea’s jaw dropped. ‘Honestly?’

When Lauren nodded, Kelsea said, ‘So why haven’t you then?’

‘It hadn’t actually occurred to me until now. Maybe I’ll ask Hunter when we get back.’ A smile played on Lauren’s lips.

Kelsea batted her on the arm, ‘Don’t you dare! Wait until my wedding’s over first!’

‘I would,’ Jess whispered to Anouska. ‘I’d never really thought about it either, but I would. Would you?’

Wrong-footed, Anouska gave Jess a tight smile and shrugged.

‘What are you two whispering about?’ Ellie leant towards them on the sofa again, glass of Prosecco swaying around, dangerously close to losing its contents.

‘Leap-year proposals. I’d do it,’ said Jess again.

‘You would? Why?’ asked Ellie.

Yeah, why? Anouska wondered.

‘Well, since I already decided the day after New Year that by the end of the year we’d be married, it’s not much of a hop, skip and a jump to do it on the twenty-ninth of February.’

Ellie gawped, whilst Anouska’s eyebrows disappeared into her hairline.

Jess chuckled. ‘Mark and I have been together since primary school, we live together and he’s lovely and sweet, and he can be so thoughtful, but he is totally oblivious. It wouldn’t even occur to him that it’s high time he asked. Plus, I want kids in the next few years.’

Ellie nodded slightly at Jess’ response. ‘Good points. I’d consider doing it, but for totally different reasons.’ When Anouska and Jess looked at her, urging her to elaborate, Ellie said, ‘I’m beginning to think Scott has commitment issues. Every time I mention the future, he shies away from the topic. We’ve been together for six years, and we still live in separate houses.’

Anouska gave a sympathetic smile. ‘That’s tough.’

Ellie sighed. ‘And as if that’s not bad enough, I’ve now been offered a job in Manchester, a promotion, actually, the promotion I’ve been after for ages, and if I knew we were going somewhere – marriage, kids, the whole shebang – I’d turn it down. I don’t know what to do. There’s no chance Scott will move with me, so if I’m going to turn it down, I need to know I’m doing it for a good reason.’ She looked at her Prosecco glass. ‘This has a lot to answer for. Sorry for oversharing.’

Jess dismissed her concern with a shake of her head then said, ‘How would you propose, if you did do it?’

Ellie thought for a moment then blew out a breath. ‘I’m not sure, but I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so maybe whilst we were doing a tandem skydive or something.’

Jess’ cornflower-blue eyes bulged. ‘Oh my God. I could never do anything like that.’

Ellie grinned. ‘That would be the easy bit. The asking would be the terrifying part. And if he said no, that would be it. Game over. I think it really is make-or-break time for us.’

‘I hear you.’ Anouska’s thoughts jostled with each other, vying for space in her brain. Jess and Ellie were talking about futures and kids, and here was she, alone with the knowledge she was already pregnant. But they appeared to think marriage and kids went hand in hand. Did it? Was it necessary nowadays?

Had her view on marriage changed now, knowing she was pregnant? She’d barely had time to process the idea of becoming a mum, never mind anything else.

‘What about you, Anouska?’ Ellie asked. ‘Could you see yourself proposing ever, or rather, would you be against doing it?’

Anouska shook her head. ‘No, I’m not against doing it. I’d just never really thought about marriage before.’

‘You’re kidding?’ Jess looked gobsmacked and Ellie’s eyes widened.

‘What? Never ever?’ Ellie asked.

Anouska shrugged. ‘I’m happy in my own skin. I love Zach, but I’ve never felt the need to get married to show that. And I’m not very traditional or girlie.’ She smiled.

‘Each to their own,’ said Jess. ‘But my mind’s made up. I’m going to ask Mark, and soon. This discussion has given me the perfect motivation. Now, I just have to figure out how.’
