About the Author
Shrapnel 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 war & conflict work with no clear path to publication. The conflict writing explores what happens when systems break down and people are forced to find out what they are made of — a theme Atharva knows from experience.
