These stories virtually transport you to different parts of the world, each with a cultural context that is astonishing and surprising in equal measure. There is love, and love lost, there is kindness, and then where kindness is not enough. To cap it all, "The Cyberdeath Files", a new age suspense story with an unlikely Indian hero and a beautiful Chinese-American woman he falls in love with.

After nearly a decade in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they completed their doctoral studies, Swapna and Ashis Gupta moved to Canada in 1978 and made Calgary their home.

With a doctorate in Psychology, and a life time of clinical work at the Alberta Children's Hospital, Swapna writes with a deep understanding of human nature and with unfailing compassion. Ashis' doctoral work was in 17th century English poetry.

Ashis is the Publisher of Bayeux Arts. He retired as Professor of Management at the Haskayne School of Business, Calgary, in 2003; Swapna retired in 2009.
