Ms Swati Bhandari

Swati Bhandari lives under the gentle tyranny of her cats, all of whom firmly believe they run the household (and they’re probably right). She creates calming coloring books for teens and adults, designed to quiet anxiety and spark creativity-ideally with a cup of tea nearby. Swati recently wandered into the darker corners of storytelling with her debut dark fantasy novel, a haunting retelling of Red Riding Hood, and has no plans to return from the woods just yet.

She does not (yet) have a pen name, but if her cats had their way, it would probably involve tuna.
