I'm a Desi-American writer of fantasy. My goal is to center South Asian characters in my stories. I have a few chronic illnesses that started to overtake my life a couple years ago. Writing became my escape and gave me a sense of normalcy again. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #BluePitHype

My main character grew up in a town surrounded by permanent forest fires as a result of climate change, so she prefers to spend the warmer days of the year within the safe and cool confines of her local library. #questpit

My book would be fall because it's a tale of starting at a new school and shedding what no longer serves you. #questpit

I'm querying my debut YA contemporary fantasy, SEASONALS (complete at 110,000 words), about a university where students of color fall prey to a mysterious source draining their magic - and the South Asian first-year whose unique powers hold the key to stopping the threat.
