Hyderabad, Sept.25: HamaraShehar.com does a Stephen King! It has put online an e-novel on its portal, with an additional interactive element.

The horizontal portal, which offers a variety of information on city-based services, said the ‘first’ multi-lingual e-novel allows the browsers to name the characters in the novel. Also, the system automatically remembers the page they were reading last time before logging off and provides a link to that particular page when the reader logs in again.

Penned by G. V. Amareswara Rao, who has more than 45 novels to his credit, Beautiful Enemy will have two different directions. The reader can choose either of the two themes or both.

The e-novel is available in English, Hindi and Telugu versions.
