As a child, I wasn't just watching movies; I was mentally rewriting them. Honestly, I've written more unfinished stories than I've had hot dinners.
My laptop was basically a graveyard for half-baked plots and star-crossed lovers who never quite crossed. But then I became a mom, mastered the art of typing with one hand while balancing a baby on my hip, and suddenly, finishing a chapter didn't seem so impossible.

Khushi T. Saha
Khushi T. Saha is a notorious daydreamer. And ask anyone close to her and they’ll tell you she’s a positive, mushy person, too. Enter in ‘writing romance novels’: what began as self-care to overcome personal trauma, ended up evolving into something much more fulfilling. Bringing stories of angst, personal growth, and passion (the steamier the better!) with some snarky humor to romantics all around has become a hunger she can’t seem to satiate😊. In fact, once she’s done with a story, there’s already another one a-brewin'.
