About Me

Saumitra Manohar

“No one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.”

Charles de Lint

I Tell Stories!

I’m a born storyteller! I love to tell interesting stories; Stories that take our dreams beyond the boundaries of space and time, riding on the wings of imagination! Stories that make a difference! And stories that reflect on our lives!

Thoughts flow freely out of my mind as they take shape of a literature. This platform is a medium for my thoughts to reach out to you.

I would love to hear your honest feedback on my posts, so that it makes me a better artist and can tell better stories. You can even share the posts on social media and help my stories to reach out to a larger audience.

The Broken Reflection

Around late 2015, an idea struck upon me that could be transformed into an interesting story and that prompted me to develop that idea into a full blown novel.

I was always a big fan of the science fiction genre and hence, was a natural choice for my first novel. Though the plot started developing on paper (Microsoft Word actually 😊) towards the beginning of 2016, it took a bit more than six years for the novel to see the light of the day. During this time, the story went through multiple self edits, including a complete one time overhaul (yes, I actually scrapped the whole story that had almost made it till the fiftieth page and rewrote it from the scratch!). Hectic work schedules too, added to the delays. Finally, the novel was published on June 22, 2022 by The Write Order Publications, Bengaluru.

The Broken Reflection Teaser

The book has been receiving some rave reviews from the readers and also valuable insights on areas of improvements from close friends. Taking the feedback positively, I have already started working on my next, hoping that I will not make my reader fans wait for long this time.

The Way Ahead

My dream is to pursue my passion for travelling and writing full time, which seems to be a long shot by any means today. But nonetheless, I’m working towards making my dream come true.

For the time being, I have started working on my next novel, which is also as you must have guessed, a science fiction novel. However, I have tried my best to keep the technical jargons at bay and make it more enjoyable for the readers. I will be announcing the title soon and you can also susbscribe to receive regular updates on the progress, plus the first chapter free, right in your inbox.

Stay tuned for the updates!
