Dr. Smita Bharti

Dr. Smita Bharti loves to write about science, nature, and the wonders of childhood. She likes to weave larger-than-life adventures into everyday moments and humor, creating captivating stories that celebrate curiosity and play. Through her books, she hopes to inspire a love for science, a deep appreciation for nature, and compassion for animals in her readers. She believes beauty and wonder can be found everywhere – you just have to look.

She also does not believe in traditional heroes and villains. Instead, she feels that everyone carries both inside them, and the side we show at any given time depends on our circumstances and the choices we make.

Dr. Bharti is a firm believer of the power of indie writing to bring forth ideas that are unburdened by trends and to allow authors to speak directly to their readers.

When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with her children, dog, and chickens, tending her garden, and pursuing her many hobbies, including sketching, painting, singing, and kickboxing.

She holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and previously taught Engineering Design at Penn State.
