A lifelong gamer, Sarwat Chadda decided to embrace his passion for over-the-top, wild adventure stories by trading in a stable twenty-year career in engineering for a highly unstable, brand-new one as a writer. That resulted in his first novel, Devil s Kiss, back in 2009.
Since then he has been published in a dozen languages, writing comic books, TV shows, and novels, such as the award-winning Indian mythology inspired Ash Mistry series, the epic high fantasy Shadow Magic trilogy (as Joshua Khan), and City of the Plague God for Rick Riordan Presents.
While he s traveled far and wide in places that include Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, he s most at home in London, where he lives with his wife, two more-or-less grown-up daughters, and an aloof cat. And, yes, he still runs his Dungeons & Dragons game every Wednesday.
