After seven years in advertising, LATA UPADHYAY decided to be her own boss. She now enjoys running a consumer research firm where they poke and pry into what people think, feel and do. But what she enjoys most is coming back every day to her happy place: writing. She was inspired to write Why Not? by her children. The sparks of awe and delight ignited by real stories in their wonder-filled eyes drew her in completely. Soon she was hooked to researching real people and the exciting details that brought their lives alive. It was as exciting as snooping for clues to an unfolding mystery!

Lata grew up in New Delhi, India. Subsequently, she has lived and worked in Canada and the US. She currently lives in New York, with her husband and two sassy children.

Lata welcomes comments, feedback, and suggestions from her readers. She can be reached at lata.upadhyay@gmail.com
