Warren Brown was born in Calcutta, India. His dream as a child was to become a Storyteller and an Author like his father, Melvyn Brown. He was inspired by all the self-published authors on Amazon and Smashwords to publish his writings on Amazon.
He works about three hours a day on his writing and illustrations. He writes very often almost one hour a day. He has chosen to be an Indie Author and Publisher as he has more freedom to write and publish his writings.
At present, Warren is working on a novella as well as on a comic which is written and illustrated by him. Read full interview...

NEIGHBOURHOOD
This book is part of the latest collection of Anglo-Indian short stories published by Warren Brown. These short stories are based in “Anglo-Street”, which represents an Anglo-Indian neighbourhood, a fictional area in Calcutta. The places, characters and events of the short stories are all existing, living and occurring in the period of the “Golden Age of Anglo-Indians” in Calcutta, between the 1960s to the 1990s.

Warren Recommends "A Grandmother's Legacy" by Jenny Mallin
Jenny Mallin's earliest memories are of her mother in the kitchen, tapping a wooden spoon against the side of the metal dekshi and then tasting her curry sauce, checking the seasoning. From that moment, Jenny was hooked...
With her passions for cooking, India, research and writing, the outcome has been a labour of love - a memoir that mingles the history of her family when they lived in India, with her grandmothers' recipes that were prudently passed down through the generations. Each recipe has been lovingly researched, leading Jenny on a road of discovery about her ancestors, with her grandmothers' legacy continuing to assist in providing clues to their rich and eventful past. A unique insight into five generations of an Anglo-Indian family; an evocative memoir that stirs the imagination of the reader by bringing to life her grandmothers, their lifestyle and their recipes. It's a story about these extraordinary ladies, who showed great foresight by sharing and passing their recipe book from one generation to the next... These were all ladies who were brought up during the reign of Queen Victoria and King George, fiercely loyal to their Queen (and King) and yet lived happily in their community in India, equally at home with making Yorkshire Pudding one day and a hot fiery Madras Curry the next. As proud custodian of a recipe book that dates back to 1844, Jenny has managed to share with us a glimpse into a fascinating period of time in Indian history.
Jenny has travelled extensively throughout India and has also visited many other countries, including Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and America. Her travelogues and written anecdotes of her journeys are much enjoyed by her family and friends.
Now a writer, Jenny has had a successful career at the BBC in television production. She lives in Kingsclere with Stewart, her husband of over 30 years, and their two cats. Any spare time that she has is spent doing painting, home decorating, jewellery making, listening to music, photography and enjoying nature.

Happy Birthday Son
Happy Birthday Warren,
The path of life in the beginning is always narrow;
it widens as one moves along and,
every mis-step, every fall; makes one want to race
into the open miles ahead.
You have breached many a trench
in your determined efforts to move forward
in your own pace,
in your own style.
The narrow path has vanished. Now with confidence
you have stepped on the paved Road -
the Highway is now your challenge.
I know you will make it,
taking the highway to the Galaxy.
God be with you!
-Love Dad

Book Review: After the Raj by Hugh Purcell
The Comments of Warren Brown on “After The Raj: The Last Stayers-On and the Legacy of British India” by Hugh Purcell
The recent book on the Anglo-Indians of India does not do justice to the community, as do so many others:
1. It is just a collection of facts gleaned from other books, written by men who have never lived in India like the stalwarts Frank Anthony among others, who made a big difference in India, as a Founder of the Frank Anthony Public schools.
2. The community has been the object of ridicule and shame for over four hundred years now, since the first British and European men had affairs with Indian women resulting in their progenies called Anglo-Indians or Eurasians.
3. Nothing new can be written about the community, but old facts in new packages. Those of us who attempt to read the books need to endure the unfair comments which the writers offer their readers, in glossy covers, with acid print.
4. Outsiders cannot do justice to the Anglo-Indian community or depict the community in the right light. It is similar to a Texan writing about an Inuit in Iceland.
5. Anglo-Indians are not a disappearing race. It is just that they are invisible. Thousands of Anglo-Indians have migrated to other parts of the world, they are still of Anglo-Indian origin, but they hold the Nationalities of other countries as they blend into world cultures. The numbers of Anglo-Indians in India are decreasing, but there is still a sizeable number present in the country, who are struggling to survive and maintain their unique identity.
6. The community originated in the 17th century. This is now the 21st century, it is time to move on, as the world changes and cultures mix more freely and the borders between countries and nations are disappearing. The community needs to move with the times and so do those outsiders who write about the "history" of the community, which has been recorded for over four centuries now.
7. Melvyn Brown, the Anglo-Indian “Chronicler of the community” may seem like a joke, to many who visit him and who hear him talk about the community and all that he has accomplished. He has done so much work over the past five decades of his life, as an individual, when organizations who carry the banner Anglo-Indian have not achieved a quarter with all the funds and resources at their disposal. Melvyn Brown has done the following in his lifetime and with more to come in the future.
- Book publishing on the community
- Lectures and seminars on the community
- Sports for the young people of the community in the 1980-1990s.
- Concerts for the Musicians and Singers of the Community from 1979- 1990s.
- Community Awards from 1979 till the present on an Annual basis.
- Assisting researchers with facts collected on the community over the last four decades.
- Christmas Trees and social gatherings for members of the community
- Several endeavours undertaken single-handedly with limited resources, but with the singular intention of Anglo-Indian Community Preservation.
How do I know that what I have described about the community in this essay is true?
I am the son of Melvyn Brown and I have lived the Anglo-Indian experience, under the guidance of this great Legend and Icon of the community.
