"Vani Mahesh is an avid reader and she believes that all that reading combined with her unusually keen interest in other people’s lives led her to writing. The novel Meet Me in the Middle happened in her mind years ago though she got around to writing it only now. Vani loves humour and she hopes she can make her readers laugh through her unlikely protagonist, Anu. Vani is best known for writing mythology. She is the author of Creation Tales – stories from Brahma Purana, Saptarsh – The Seven Supreme Sages, and Shiva Purana. Vani feels thrilled to spot her books in bookstores and she also instantly falls in love with those who have read her books. Vani began her career just like any Bangalorean – a software engineer in the Silicon Valley. Since she was always jealous of a librarian’s proximity to books, she quit her job to start EasyLib.com, the first online library in India. She ran it for over a decade before getting bitten by the writing bug. When not reading or writing, Vani cannot be caught gardening, baking, or running. But she can be caught watching OTT, eating, and playing badminton. She lives in Bangalore with her husband and two daughters. "
