About the Author:

Nandan Chalamalasetti is a young author residing in Singapore.

At the age of six, he moved to Singapore from the quaint little town of Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. His world suddenly transformed from the lush green fields in Amalapuram to the skyscrapers and the modernism of Singapore. With no understanding of the English language and being pushed into schooling in an English-speaking country, it was quite a transition, and that too fairly sudden. He has grown to foster a love for the language.

In the last six years, he has dabbled in all genres of writing, from scripts to short stories to books. He has a love for acting and enjoys participating in theatrical productions.

Currently, he is serving his National Service in the Singapore Police Force and is planning to pursue a business degree after his service.
