About Me

HIDDEN TALENT
Vish Chopra thinks his life is a mess. He just flunked another test. He has serious girlfriend problems. He got himself grounded. And he's messing up at work. He wants to be a filmmaker one day, but he isn't sure if he has what it takes. He starts to practise making movies in secret. A new friend encourages him to follow his dream, and Vish wants to trust her. But he soon finds out that she has secrets of her own.

ABOUT ME
I'm the author of six young adult books—four of which are part of a summer adventure fiction series called Deer Lake. I also work as a freelance editor and designer.
When I'm not writing books (or reading them), I like to travel, spend time in my garden, and play music with my family. In fact, I sing in a band with them! I mostly do backup vocals, but I'm thinking about learning the accordion. :-) I posted a photo of a recent gig in my photo album, if you want to see proof.
