MEET THE AUTHOR

Silpa’s love for writing started at a very young age. Her first ‘story’ was at 4 years old about a boy who built a house out of marshmallows because he found bricks boring. 

Since that story, she has written several more in her head, often sparked by a silly line she heard someplace or a more somber life lesson. But the stories kept piling up until her own two kids sparked the fire in her to put to paper all those stories that made a home in her thoughts. 

She has some exciting characters waiting for you to meet in her books and hopes that you will come to love them just as much as she has. These are books written for children, inspired by children and aim to bring back the child in the adults that read them to their children.

In addition to dreaming up stories, making up songs with her kids and going on hikes, Silpa holds a PhD in engineering and loves everything about science and space.
