About the Author

Seema Bakhtiyar has always been an ardent reader of romance and a devout Austen fan. Ever since fourth grade, her love for Austen has only grown with the years — a love that inspired her to keep reading and eventually pursue a career with words, giving form to the myriad ideas that fill her ever-active mind.

Professionally, she has been a professor of management for close to a decade, thanks to her MBA, and also an English and IELTS trainer, owing to her master’s degree in English Literature.

More than anything else, she loves to surround herself with good books, read them, and dream that one day, books with her own name on the cover will sit among them. She lives in a small town in India in a big Indian family and absolutely loves spending time with her daughter, who becomes an astronaut by day and a princess by night.
