About the Author
Nine Days in December comes from 2020, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 23 and still producing literary fiction work with no clear path to publication. The literary fiction showcases the full range of the craft — character work, prose style, and thematic depth without the guardrails of genre conventions.
