About the Author
I started telling stories to my niece and soon it became a bed-time ritual. After the birth of my daughter, the audience gradually increased. Whenever her friends saw me leisurely spending my time, someone or the other came with the demand for a story.
As my daughter Shriya has grown up, she encouraged me to seriously pursue story telling into story writing. She had read my short stories earlier and felt I should go ahead and write about one year of Leena’s life at Forty Peaks. This is to introduce the young reader’s world over to an adventure land, full of mysteries which she and her friends grew up fantasizing about.
