Tale Publishing was thrilled to launch Bala Mudaly’s new book, Colours of Hope and Despair last month. By a narrow margin, the launch was the most successful we’ve had in terms of sales in our short history. Part of the proceeds from the sales of the book went to Amnesty International, a cause close to the author’s heart.

The launch coincided with Bala’s 80^th birthday so there was cake! And what a cake it was – made in the design of his book.

To publish a book is an achievement for anyone, but to publish your first at the age of eighty shows the only limits are those we place on ourselves. Congratulations Bala. We look forward to working with you on book number two.
