Born in Jaipur, Parul Mehta Patel grew up in Delhi and Mumbai, and spent her childhood summers in her beloved birth city. Parul has a love for creativity and art, writing poetry since she was a child, painting, and Indian classical singing. Parul has also always enjoyed reading books. Her parents encouraged her in her pursuits, and filled their home with books to feed her joy. Parul earned her Bachelor's degree in Commerce and Economics from Bombay University in Mumbai, India, followed by a stint in journalism for Cine Blitz magazine, until she moved to the United States. In the USA Parul obtained her Master's degree in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College, California, and went on to earn a second Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy, both from Alliant International, California. She currently is in private practice seeing clients for psychotherapy and Couples Retreats. Over the last few years, Parul gave in to the irrepressible need to write a book. That book evolved into Meera, her debut novel. Parul lives with her husband and daughter in California.
