Veena Nagpal is tiny but she’s fierce!

She has always fiercely guarded her ‘me-time’ – read that to mean her writing time – yet it’s never been enough to satisfy that overwhelming urge in her to sit at her roll-top desk and keep tap-tapping at her keyboard. Family needs have intruded from time to time and, for her, family has always come above all else. Her earlier novels include The Uncommon Memories of Zeenat Qureishi (Tara), Karmayogi (Jaico) and Compulsion (Sterling). She also has four published books for children – two of them aimed at creating environment awareness among school children.

She has also had a successful career in Advertising and Corporate Communication having started Corporate Voice Public Relations (later Corvo-Shandwick) and worked as General Manager Corporate Communications with a Singhania Group company.

Born an army brat, she loves travelling – preferably with a camera in hand; experimenting with new foods and flavours in the kitchen, dabbling with oil colours and pottering around her tiny oasis of green in Noida, near New Delhi.
