About the Author
What We Talk About When We Avoid Talking comes from 2021, 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 24 and still producing essays & reflections work with no clear path to publication. The essay collections capture thinking in progress — less polished than the fiction, more honest, and often more revealing about the author behind the catalog.
