Of Mists and Monsoons traces the life and fortunes of the principal character from the mists of Ireland to the monsoons of India. Born the eldest child of an Irish Catholic family of subsistent potato farmers, Sean O'Hara was in his teens when Ireland was overwhelmed by the Great Famine in 1845. His family struggled to survive two successive years of potato blight but succumbed one by one, leaving Sean the sole survivor.The only way out offered was the chance to join a unit of the British Army stationed in Dublin, and with them, he was transported to India. He changed his name, which was customary for Irish recruits, and arrived in India as Joseph Harrington. Years on, Joe was overwhelmed again; this time by the Indian Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. In the meantime, this remarkable young man overcame every challenge he was set. He married an Irish girl he found in a convent and, with her, raised a family of four. The story is loosely based on the author's own family history as her great grandfather was indeed born in Ireland, joined the British Army, and went to India. He stayed there for the rest of his life and founded a family that remained there until Partition in 1946 drove them to England and Uganda. Anecdotes from the author's childhood told by her mother are woven ito the story wherever possible. It is worthy of note that Joseph Harrington prophecied to his close friend Rajah Saeed Khan that though the Indians were defeated in their Mutiny of 1857, they would finally rise and throw off the British overlords. He was proved right in 1947.

Of Mists and Monsoons traces the varying fortunes of a young man caught up in the horror of the Irish Famine of the mid-19th Century. The story unfolds as he is rescued from certain death by starvation along with the rest of his family, and joins the British Army as a drummer boy, and travels to India. This remarkable character finds himself caught up in the Indian Mutiny 10 years later, but survives to found a family of his own. The leading character is loosely based on the author's own great-grandfather, who did leave Ireland in the mid 18th Century and travel to India with the British Army where he founded a family dynasty that endured until Partition in 1946. Anecdotes from the author's mother and extended family are used freely in the text.

A man seeking his destiny in India discovers a woman who may hold it in her hands—and her frozen heart—in this “well-crafted historical romance” (Historical Novels Review). It’s 1759—and Jamie Kinross has travelled far and wide to escape his troubled past, eventually settling in the chaotic streets of Madras, India, where he starts life anew as a gem trader. When his mentor’s family is kidnapped, Jamie vows to save them, embarking on a dangerous mission to the city of Surat—where he encounters Zarmina Miller. She is rich, beautiful, and so cold and prideful that she is known as the “Ice Widow.” Jamie is instantly tempted by the challenge she presents. And when Jamie discovers that Zarmina has a connection to those involved in the kidnapping, he begins to see another side to her—a dark past to rival his own and a heart just waiting to be thawed . . .

On 20th May the Indian summer monsoon will begin to envelop the country in two great wet arms, one coming from the east, the other from the west. They are united over central India around 10th July, a date that can be calculated within seven or eight days. Alexander Frater aims to follow the monsoon, staying sometimes behind it, sometimes in front of it, and everywhere watching the impact of this extraordinary phenomenon. During the anxious period of waiting, the weather forecaster is king, consulted by pie-crested cockatoos, and a joyful period ensues: there is a period of promiscuity, and scandals proliferate. Frater's journey takes him to Bangkok and the cowboy town on the Thai-Malaysian border to Rangoon and Akyab in Burma (where the front funnels up between the mountains and the sea). His fascinating narrative reveals the exotic, often startling, discoveries of an ambitious and irresistibly romantic adventurer.

A collection of poetry, primarily haiku, on the power of love to offer a visioning of how we position ourselves in the world in relation to one another through a lens of personal intimacy. Extending that offer, the author invites you to apply a wider aperture to her words to vision humanity in the global interconnected fight for liberation and justice of people, communities, and nations systematically marginalized and made vulnerable to depression, suppression, and oppression. From mist to monsoon, the symphony of rain unbars the freedom of the love abounding within the musical cosmos.
