Abhi Kandukuru was born in North Florida, where he spent the majority of his childhood. At a young age he developed a strong passion for fantasy and a love of writing. Through influences from different movies, books and video/computer games, he created a character that faces adventure, magic and epic quests. From all of that and his own imagination comes our friend, Surya. As a 7th grade student at Walker middle magnet IB school, Abhi wrote on a variety of topics which gave him a broader view of the world. Eventually a story began to develop in his mind involving characters and places that he immediately grew attached to. Abhi knew that he needed to put his thoughts onto paper. He grew so intrigued with the evolving storyline that he knew he had to share his characters to the world. Abhi now lives in Central Florida with his family and is always supported by them in his writing career.
