Born and raised in India, I now make my home in Toronto. I am represented by the wonderful Mary. C. Moore of Kimberley Cameron & Associates and published by Harper Voyager US. My first book "Markswoman" was published in January 2018 and the sequel "Mahimata" in March 2019. I also enjoy reading and writing short stories.
