"Weirdest Storyteller Alive"

Born in the late 80s, grew up in the 90s, and still going... My name is Bijesh Nagesh, and I am the weirdest storyteller alive. From having absolutely no bestsellers to my name, to writing stories that only the maddest among us may find interesting, I seem to have created a niche for myself, only without the niche. But someone's got to tell the stories that seem determined not to leave me for a better writer, so *sigh* here we are.

I used to have an alias, 'Joshua Mercott', which I scrapped ages ago, though I'm not sure why. Anyway, I have always enjoyed reading and writing. It has kept me going despite this thing called Life. Through my books, which I recommend you do not read, I delve into the realms of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and the Paranormal. I guess it's all fun and games until you get hooked and can't stop typing, even with hordes of demons chasing after you.

So far in my non-career as a novelist, I've completed 'The Dark Seraph' books (a 5-part fiction series), 'Long Live Death' (a standalone novel), and 'The Red Leaf' (a standalone novella), with more disasters on the way. What can I say, I'm a twisted Halloween-themed gift that just keeps writing.

I started a blog called "Mr. Mercott Reviewer" because I wanted a place where I could pour all the madness bubbling inside me. I personally suggest you ignore that site and carry on to greener pastures. There you'll only find a solitary hermit of a writer scribbling in the dark, or rather clickety-clacking away at his keyboard for no real rhyme or reason.

I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, so don't be surprised if you come across an assortment of honest reviews and insane speculations in that blog. About my 'Strange Speculations', they are probably proof of my non-clinical insanity. Regardless, it does feel nice to paint some shade of Truth in a world filled with enough fakery to make you question your own shadow.

I pay my bills and taxes working as a Content Writer, which I've been doing for eleven years (and counting). I'm always learning something new in this sector, a fact that reminds me to stay humble and keep improving. You're never really as good as you think.

Anyway, my little corner of the Internet is not for everyone. There's just a lone voice here singing terrible verses in a spot that creates a nice echo. If you are keen to read weirdly written, but truthful I may add, reviews – on books, movies, shows, yada yada – or are interested in delving into the shockingly unsuccessful life and career of a so-called 'tortured artist' whose novels won't leave him the heck alone, then my blog might amuse you.

Acting (in my regional language Tamizh) led me to admire and appreciate the Performing Arts. Accidentally falling in love with the craft of the great Meryl Streep and my own grandad, C.K.Nagesh's work has proven one thing, though… I'm never going to be even half as good in this field either. Between the 'politics' and bizarre expectations, doing anything of artistic value in this sector today seems well-nigh impossible for someone in my unique position – the name weighs heavy, but the network is light.

Some of us are apparently doomed to go through life enjoying all the things in which we can never really make a pride-worthy impression. But Meryl Streep once said, "The formula of happiness and success is just being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can." So I'm going to take that advice to heart – weirdness, failures and all.

Seeing as how you've wandered so far onto this little island in the great Internet-Sea, consider yourself on a path less trodden and best forgotten. Remember J.R.R. Tolkien's evergreen words: "Not all those who wander are lost"? You, my friend, most certainly are.
