Bhakti Mathur grew up in Delhi, India. She lives in Hong Kong, a city that she absolutely adores, with her husband, her two sons, Shiv and Veer, and their beloved golden Labrador, Frodo. She is a banker by profession and currently works for a major Asian Bank. Bhakti’s love of books started from a young age. Her mother was a librarian and as a child she spent many hours in the library; books proved to be great and inexpensive baby sitters. The idea for the Amma, Tell Me series of books came as a way to introduce her sons to Indian mythology and festivals. When not writing, working, or running after her boys, she is happiest curled up with a book and a hot cup of chai.
