Autor

The author, Dr. Nirmala Kasinathan is herself representative of the younger generation of the Jaffna Tamilian diaspora and has family and friends both in Malaysia and abroad. With the exception of her escapades traveling and globe trotting, she has spent most of her years in Ipoh. She is currently a practicing medical doctor at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh. She was inspired to write short stories because she writes part time and this genre could better fit into her tight schedule. She also hoped that short stories would reach a wider readership of working adults, or school and college students with busy schedules themselves. These 18 short stories were written over a period exceeding 3 years. She started writing articles for school and college magazines while studying at Tarcisian Convent and later at Melaka Manipal Medical College. She has been writing fiction of varied genres. Her debut novel 'Woven in Deception', a historical fiction was published by SBPRA, USA in 2013. Beyond Deception, a sequel to Woven in Deception and a science fiction is her second novel to date and was published by Kindle Direct Publishing, USA, in 2018.
