Deepti Menon has always loved the written word. She began to write at the age of ten and was lucky enough to have travelled around the country as an Army kid. Her experiences during those years helped hone her interest and her flair for writing. Her first book, 'Arms and the Woman', published in 2002, takes a light-hearted look at the life of an Army wife. 2013 and 2014 were lucky for her, as many of her short stories were chosen for anthologies. She also has a book of poems, titled 'Deeparadhana of Poems', lovingly compiled by her mother, herself a talented writer and ‘Shadow in the Mirror’, a psychological thriller published by Readomania in 2016. In 2020 and 2021, she brought out two eBooks of thriller short stories, titled ‘Where Shadows Follow – Tales that Twist and Turn’ and 'Shadows Never Lie' along with ‘Tales From the Panchatantra’, a set of four eBooks, all by Readomania. 2022 saw the publication of 'Defying Destiny: Nalini Chandran - A Life Sketch' which was based on the intriguing life of her mother, a renowned educationist who has created history in the town of Thrissur in Kerala.
