Jyoti left school at 15 to become a full-time writer while Suresh finished his A-levels at a UK boarding school. Our dad is Indian and our mum English. We lived in England until we were 7 when we moved to Switzerland where we have been ever since - so we speak fluent Schwyzerdütsch! When we are not writing, we get to go on promotional tours, attend literary festivals and so on.
