Vinay Vasan

A consultant turned banker, Vinay hides his true occupation as a reader behind mundane daily activities. Based in Bangalore, India, Vinay's interest in fantasy is a by-product of the rich Indian mythological stories he was exposed to as a child. He read Lord of the Rings and the rest is history. Action, world-building, snarky characters & witty dialog make up for Vinay's blend when it comes to fantasy & some of his favorites authors include Jim Butcher, Robin Hobb, GRR Martin, Joe Abercrombie among others.
