Sharath Komarraju lives in Bengaluru, surrounded by an ever-swelling collection of books. He began his professional life as a software engineer but has now renounced it all in favour of a writing desk and a word processor. (He's happy to report that his head has stayed above water so far, though he's flapping like crazy underneath. ) His first novel, Murder in Amaravati, was longlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize 2013.
