About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, The Enchanted Forest of Dandeli 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 fantasy work represents persistence through industry rejection. Fantasy was one of the genres Atharva discovered early, and 26 titles later, the world-building has gone from instinctive to deliberate.
