Aradhna K.

Author. Poet. Mum.

Aradhna K. – sometimes known as Ara – is a Southeast Asian Indian author of romance, fantasy and science-fiction stories. She spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in a book, earning the nickname ‘book anaconda’ from teasing cousins, and has long desired to see her own stories in print. A third-culture child from a small island in the tropics, culture and heritage and tradition are themes she loves to explore in her words. Family and the different ways that come across are equally as important to her – and most importantly, she wants to write stories that her children will feel represented by in a way she struggled to find growing up.

Her debut novella What Happened In Vegas was released as an e-book in 2024, and she shares short stories and poems on her Ko-Fi.
