Reading Experience
At 26,199 words across roughly 105 pages, this one runs about 2.2 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For history & civilization, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Silk, Steel, and Stories 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 history & civilization work with no clear path to publication. With 40 history titles, this genre reflects a genuine interest in how the past shapes the present — a theme that runs through much of the broader catalog.
