About the Author
Empire of Dust comes from 2022, 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 25 and still producing historical fiction work with no clear path to publication. With 20 historical fiction titles, Atharva brings the same research intensity to past eras that he brings to every genre he enters.
