Smita Luthra

---

Smita Luthra is a forty-something writer, designer and techie. 

She grew up in different states across India soaking in different cultures and traditions that have influenced her writing and outlook towards life. "Nikita" is her first full length novel. Her short story “Diamond in the Rough” published in the anthology titled “The Other” (edited by Abha Iyengar and Mona Verma) was well received and much appreciated by readers and critics alike. 

Smita believes in the power of Karma and that of Chocolate – sometimes not necessarily in the same order. :)

She currently lives in a small city on the foothills of Mount Rainier in the beautiful Pacific NW of USA.
