Storyteller
Swarna Mohan grew up in India BT (Before Television). She used the age-old tactics of beg, borrow, or steal (just kidding) to get her hands on books by authors from Enid Blyton to Leo Tolstoy. She kept reading and reading, and read her way to a PhD in English Literature. She married her husband of 40 years, Dr. Krishna (Kris) Mohan in 1980, and moved to New Jersey, USA. She's been a teacher, a stay-at-home mom for her two lovely children, a freelance writer for local weeklies, an editor of electronic books, a technical writer, and a technical documentation editor. Swarna is retired and now lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida. This is her first attempt at writing children's books.

Neena Sodhi has led an itinerant life. Born in the UK, she lived in Myanmar, India, and Ghana, before coming to the USA as a teenager. She went to highschool in New Jersey, did her undergrad in Maine, graduated from Medical School in Virginia, and did her Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. A Board Certified Allergist, she's lived and worked in several states across the US. Now a resident of North Carolina, she has hung up her stethoscope and rediscovered the fun of painting. She is super excited to have the opportunity to illustrate books for children. When not at her easel, she can be found having fun on pickleball courts.
