About bestselling author Puja Guha: International Development Consultant. Global Citizen. Author of seven novels and four published short stories. Born into a family of acclaimed Indian architects, Puja traveled with her parents as they worked on projects around the world. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Puja completed her Master’s degree in public policy at Sciences Po and the London School of Economics. Today, she works as an independent consultant on international development programs – primarily in Africa and South Asia – traveling to some of the most economically-challenged countries in the world. Leveraging her scholarship, her ability to speak five languages, and her earnest goal of engendering global economic progress, she continues to learn about, support, and embrace new countries.

“Along my journey, I have been inspired by politics, culture, and writing the Ahriman Legacy series, which takes readers along with me into my imagination enhanced by my experiences,” shares Puja, who has lived in Kuwait, Toronto, Paris, London, and several American cities, including New York, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. She now lives in the Denver area. Her spy thriller series THE AHRIMAN LEGACY is an Amazon bestseller, and she has been featured on TV and media, including Fox5, Reader’s Digest, and the London Post. She enjoys travel, all things outdoors (especially with her dog Sally), spy movies, and curling up with a good book.
