Monica Singh

Scientist and Storyteller. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool bibliophile. My love of reading has led to my passion for writing. I write so others can find comfort and acceptance in my words, just like I have in the words of so many others before me. My debut novel ‘The Pause’ (Publication September 2022), is now available on Amazon. My stories are a part of anthologies such as, ‘Stories from the Forest’ by Notion Press, ‘Tea With a Drop of Honey’, ‘TRAIL XIII: The Path to Perdition’ by The Hive Publishers, and ‘WRITE IN POWER: An Anthology of the Personal and the Political’ by Pothi Publishers. I live in Pune, India, with my husband, Rahul, and a gentle ginger tomcat Loki.
