Steven Pressfield

I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1943 to a Navy father and mother.

I graduated from Duke University in 1965.

In January of 1966, when I was on the bus leaving Parris Island as a freshly-minted Marine, I looked back and thought there was at least one good thing about this departure. "No matter what happens to me for the rest of my life, no one can ever send me back to this freakin' place again."

Forty years later, to my surprise and gratification, I am far more closely bound to the young men of the Marine Corps and to all other dirt-eating, ground-pounding outfits than I could ever have imagined.

Preetha Rajah Kannan

My earliest recollection of Ponniyin Selvan is of five hardbound volumes standing tall in Amma’s book collection. To my eternal regret, the convent-educated-English-speaking me had my nose too deeply in English novels to explore one of the greatest Tamil novels ever written.

The years passed and I stepped into the courtyard of Thanjavur’s ‘Big Temple’ for the first time. I froze: the towering gopuram drew my eyes like a magnet and automatically lifted my head towards the evening-sun-splashed sky. The immense lingam in the sanctum thrilled my soul with its stark, truly ‘God-sized’ grandeur. And so, I came to Raja Raja Chola, the emperor who had the audacity to think big and build on this vast scale.

I am a consumer marketing professional turned author this year.

Late 2015, I took a break from a decade-old (perhaps) successful marketing career to devote more time to the craft of writing.

During this break, I graduated from the Screenwriting Program of the New York Film Academy in New York. my first book, 'Buffering Love' was my 4th attempt in 12 months to write something that I feel, could have a breathing life in the world, instead of it gathering rust on my machine.

The stories are inspired by my personal experiences with apps and saw the light of day thanks to Penguin Random House.

Prior to taking up the (near suicidal) decision to pursue writing, I was the Marketing Head for PUMA India for 4 years.
