About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, Loose Threads comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this short stories work represents persistence through industry rejection. The short story collections represent compressed versions of the same creative energy that produces full-length books in 15-day sprints.
Publication History
Loose Threads was published on July 19th, 2025, the only title released that month.
