“We write not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping us.”

16 published books across fiction, poetry, and reflective writing — romance and psychological thrillers, mythological fiction, and short stories that sit somewhere between the two.

She writes about the spaces between certainty and doubt, connection and distance: the emotions most of us carry quietly, and the ordinary moments that turn out to have decided everything.

What readers say

Love Me Like A KDrama, is a must read for every girl who holds unrealistic expectations from her partner because of being carried away by the fictional men in books or on screen. It’s a much needed wake up call that today’s young generation needs. Interesting nuances and observations of Indian and Korean culture differences. A book like this is needed in today’s Instagram culture where people don’t live in the moment but for likes and shares.

Seven Versions Of My Valentines is a sweet romcom where sometimes you will find yourself laughing your heart out while other times this book will make you reflect on what love actually is and which kind of love would you want to choose, if given the opportunities.

I thought this was an excellent novel and I could relate to it totally, having taught for many years. Teaching seemed to encourage connections that were slightly more than friendship, perhaps undefined, yet very special, and this book captured the nature of one.
