Under the neem tree, a baby is born, destined for greatness through an ordinary life.
Neem's parents perform the lowliest of jobs for their village, outcast and ostracized, forced to live outside society. Even in complete poverty, Neem flourishes under her parents' love, shielded from the cruelness of the society who deems them untouchable. She plays in the shade of the neem tree, confiding her thoughts to the tree, which nurtures and protects her, an ever-steady presence in a life full of challenges.
Neem can't stay innocent forever and she is faced with the harshness of society in a shocking way, resulting in the death of her parents. By a twist of fate, she is adopted by a respected devadesi and grows up beloved in a cultured, wealthy household. Her foster mother teaches her many skills, including the arts of the devadesi, and Neem's accomplishments and beauty lead her to the Maharajan's palace.
The Neem Tree follows Neem's life to the Royal Palace and back to her native village, through danger to motherhood, the achievements of her children, their tragedies and their happiness. Neem's spirituality forms and grows, supporting and nurturing her family through many difficult times, just as the Neem Tree supports and nurtures her.
From Neem's humble beginnings will grow an extraordinary woman of great wisdom, spirit and humility.
I have won awards for mini-tales in the National Association Writers' Groups and in the local writers' circle. My short stories have been published in both the University's Anthology 'Shadow Plays' in 2010, and more recently in the writing group anthologies. I was short-listed in the NAWG 2016 Competition for my entry, 'Footprints in the Sand' in the Memoir Section and again in historical fiction, 'He's No Saint,' in the NAWG 2017 Competition. In 2018, I was awarded two highly commended certificates in the 'Memoir,' and 'Travel,' sections. In the beginning of the year I was awarded the Brenda Lewis Award for non-fiction-Travel, in our Llanelli Circle Dinner.
Recently, I have written and illustrated picture-booklets, 'Meenakshi-The Green Goddess-The Warrior Princess;' 'Savitri,' the Ten Tales of 'Ganesha' and 'Durga - The Demon Slayer.' My debut novella - 'The Neem Tree,' was published on 5th December 2018 , by Wordcatcher Publishing.
We were also interviewed on Showboat TV Pembroke as a husband and wife writing team, Thompson-Authors. With daughter Gayatri Thompson Cook, we have successfully organized the Carmarthen Book Fair 2016-2018, showcasing about thirty local writers, for the last three years and hopefully for the forthcoming future.
