Swati Chavda is an author, a neurosurgeon, and a self-proclaimed Dark Lord.

She blends epic fantasy with a touch of science fiction, adding humour, quests, and adventures that cross the boundaries of space and time. Legends, folklore, and Earth's geological past influence her story-worlds.

She also writes satirical fantasy, inspired by the gallows humor from her neurosurgery days - where death and darkness were her constant companions, and humor was the least toxic method to cope.

Her characters tend to seek answers to questions ranging from "Is there life after death?" to "Should there be life before breakfast?" She uses too many commas, too few coffee breaks - and there's a constant battle waging in her head between British and American spelling.
