Santosh began her working life as a teacher and then joined the Institute of Social Sciences in New Delhi. She spent twenty years as a social researcher in the Institute exploring the socio-political processes that greatly affect women and their aspirations in a rural milieu. During her career as a social scientist, she penned academic books such as ‘Violence Against Rural Women’, ‘Combatant Women’, ‘Learning Societies – Shifting Patterns’ and ‘Passion for Flames’.She was long tempted to try her hand at fiction. Before becoming a full-time fiction writer, being a bilingual she first began writing stories, both in English and Hindi, which were accepted by the magazines and newspapers’ story section.After a gap of years, she was drawn to the idea of historical fiction and finally set out to write the sort of books she liked to read. She thinks it is really easy to get lost in our lives and forget what is important... What is important to her is her family and her work. To her, the world of books is fascinating and she is dabbling in it.Her debut novel, Zenani Deordhi, is a plot driven by character, whereas her latest novel, She - The Forgotten Epoch, is driven by circumstances that build a character.She can be reached at: singhsantoshchauhan@gmail.com.Visit her online at: www.authorsantosh.comhttps://instagram.com//authorsantoshhttps:// twitter.com/authorsantoshhttps:// www.facebook.com/santoshsingh21/view less
