Mona Tewari has long been fascinated by the ways in which narratives of legends and histories shape views of the present. A graduate of Caltech and UCSF, Tewari practiced as a pediatric dentist for years before she turned to writing fiction.

Tewari lives with her husband, daughters, and dogs in the Berkshires. Burn the Sea is her first novel.
