BS Murthy, b. 27 Aug 1948, is the author of Benign Flame: Saga of Love, Jewel-less Crown:: Saga of Life, Crossing the Mirage: Passing through youth (plot and character driven novels all), Glaring Shadow: A stream of consciousness novel, Prey on the Prowl: A Crime Novel and Onto the Stage: 'Slighted Souls' and other stage and radio plays.

His above fictional endeavors were borne out of his conviction that for fiction to impact readers, it should be the soulful tale of the local characters rooted in the native soil but not a hotchpotch of the local and alien caricatures sketched on a hybrid canvas.

His non-fiction works are Puppets of Faith: Theory of communal strife, Bhagvad-Gita: Treatise of Self-help (sans 110 interpolations in verses with contemporary idiom) and Sundara Kãnda: Hanuman’s Odyssey, also in verse.

His body of work is available as free e-books at umpteen websites such as Project Gutenberg Self-publishing Press, Internet Achieve, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple iTunes, obooko.com, Smashwords, Free ebooks net, Freebookspot. Feedboks, Ebookjunkie etc

Besides articles on general management (The Hindu), materials management (Purchase) general insurance (The Insurance Times) and literary/social subjects (Triveni,) he had contributed ‘Addendum to Evolution: Origins of the World by Eastern Speculative Philosophy’ to The Examined Life On-Line Philosophy Journal, Vol. 05 Issue 18 that I incorporated in the 'Epilogue' of my novel Jewel-less Crown: Saga of Life.
