Hi! I’m Kalyani, an author who believes stories have the power to illuminate, heal, and inspire. Whether through novels, essays, or poetry, I write with an eye toward the deeper questions that shape our lives.

My novel, The Invisible Canvas, is a work of literary fiction exploring trauma, healing, cultural identity, and the strength it takes to find one’s voice. I’m also the author of The Happy Wildflower series, collections of reflective essays and poetry on mindfulness, resilience ,and the beauty of living with intention.

Before turning to fiction, I worked as both an epidemiologist and an attorney, always searching for meaning in the intersection between science, law, and the human experience. But writing has always been my anchor—the place where I could reflect, ask difficult questions, and uncover the beauty of the inner voice.

WithThe Invisible Canvas, I wanted to create more than a story. I wanted to offer a space for readers to feel seen, to explore the hidden layers of self, and to consider how healing can be as much about reclaiming identity as it is about letting go of pain.

Books have been my most treasured and trusted companions for as long as I can remember. I invite you to join me in sharing my love for storytelling and discovering the endless possibilities that await within the covers of a book. Thank you for being part of this vibrant community of readers and dreamers.

XOXO,
