Enchanted with children, Avanti Nioding is a passionate teacher of Science at High school. She lives in Bangalore with her husband, son and pet dog Mr. Buzzy Barker, who is also lovingly called Mr. Sherlock Sniffles, as an endearing oxymoron to be sure. When she’s not writing, she can be seen spending time with family, teaching, painting little sketches, making tiny jewellery with beads and charms- beetles and dragonflies being her favourite ones, or simply sitting by a lake daydreaming.
