Biography

Rasana completed her schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya schools across the country and has a B.E. in Instrumentation engineering from Osmania University, India, and M.S. in Computer engineering from Marquette University, Milwaukee, United States. She is also a trained 'Volunteer Rape Crisis' counselor by Bay Area Women Against Rape organization. She is the founder of The India Readathon, a platform which aims to introduce readers to self-published books (ebooks and audio) set in the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal and Maldives). Her other novels include Temple Is Not My Father, 28 Years A Bachelor, and Valley Isle Secrets (a Kindle Worlds novella based on Toby Neal's Lei Crime Series).

Critical acclaim

Tell A Thousand Lies was shortlisted for the 2012 Tibor Jones South Asia Award. While her first three novels handle woman-centric issues, with Valley Isle Secrets, she has ventured into thriller genre.

Rasana declined a traditional publishing contract in order to self-publish. She has been interviewed on self-publishing by many major publications in India.
