About the Author
Fragments 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 short stories work with no clear path to publication. The short story collections represent compressed versions of the same creative energy that produces full-length books in 15-day sprints.
