My life is filled with experiences, interesting places and people who have come and gone and have impacted me in various ways. My childhood was in Amazing India where I grew up adapting to the rich Indian culture, value systems and way of life which I carried with me when I settled in America with my husband and kids. Since the last decade, I have had challenging opportunities to work in various fortune 500 company as a Business Intelligence Developer/Programmer. Apart from a full-time job and taking care of my family, I enjoy watching Bollywood movies, writing, indulging in music and dance.

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

It’s not the end goal of getting a book published that is of prime importance, it’s the enjoyable journey you take and the relationships you develop creating your characters and testing them with what you put forth in your creative writing that is most fulfilling for an author. Write without boundaries, without prejudice, unleash the madness from within and pour your ideas in the blank pages of a book, before it consumes you. Follow your passion! Make a difference!

For the love of reading, writing and sheer appreciation for the craft of creative expression, a mother and her teenage son collaborated to unleash the Secret Mantra. Chaitra and her teenage son Sunjay are avid readers and enjoy embarking upon fun-filled imaginative journeys of the mind inside the core of fantasy books and stories. They found a purpose of collaborating together with ideas of Indian mythology, interwoven with an imaginative story enjoying the experience together in creating the Secret Mantra. There is an age-old adage saying that: There comes a point in time when the avid book reader would become a writer and create a world of fantasy, build characters and test their endurance in a fulfilled mental escape into a supernatural adventure of the legends. We hope you enjoy the journey with us!
