ebooks, epublsihng, HopeRoad dedicated to publishing exciting writings from and about Africa Asia and the Caribbean.

As wCricket’s Philosopher King_Bannere celebrate our second birthday we would like to thank all our friends for supporting us over the past two years.  We have brought you a mix of titles from all over the world which we hope you’ve enjoyed.  We hope you particularly like our two printed titles, The Cost of Sugar by Cynthia McLeod and Tula-The Revolt by Jeroen Leinders, both translated from Dutch. The films of both titles are still doing the rounds of festivals so we hope you’ll get the opportunity to see them in your local cinemas once they’re on general release.  We’re rounding-off the year with the publication of CLR James – Cricket’s Philosopher King by Dave Renton due 21 November.

Highlights for 2014, include a new novel by Balraj Khanna, called Indian Magic, about sixties London and the newly arrived hero, with all his uncertainty in what is an alien life and city, and from the author of A Pair of Jeans, Qaisra Shahraz, another exciting collection of short stories. If you’re a crime fan, you’ll love the two crime novels from Sylvester Young, Sleeping Dog Lie and Love, Lies and Bleeding. We are also delighted to welcome Avantika Hari Agrawal and her novel, Land Gold Women, a follow up to her film of the same title.

Remember to look out for special offers from our website where you can purchase and download to your reader within minutes.

The recent releases at Hoperoad, Kiskadee Girl, Caribbean Chemistry and The Chocolate Shop Perverts all have the scent of a memoir about them. While we might say that Caribbean Chemistry is touted as a memoir, is it any more ‘true to life’ than The Chocolate Shop Perverts? As we grow older, and look back on our lives, how much do we remember accurately and how many memories do we move around? What happens when we reimagine a situation so often – I wish I had said that, I wish she had said this – that we begin to remember our re-remembered memory as fact, instead of fantasy?

The Chocolate Shop Perverts book cover

The Chocolate Shop Perverts by Ernest Alanki

The Chocolate Shop Perverts by Ernest Alanki is our Book of the Month for September, and we’ll be blogging more about the themes which run through this dark and haunting novel throughout the month.

The Chocolate Shop Perverts is Alanki’s first novel, and a masterpiece at that. It follows the story of Martin, as he drifts from Newcastle to Edinburgh, searching for work and purpose, dreaming of girls, and attempting to write his autobiography. Somewhere along the way reality turns into magic realism and a world where no-one is quite sure of the tangible versus the fantasy. Read more
