Forced by his wife to enter a short-story contest, Milan Gupta reluctantly started writing. Before he knew it, his short story was over 200 pages long. In other words, Milan had just written his first novel, The Mariner’s Grandson. Barely one year later, Milan published his second novel, These Scars Called Home. He finally accepted that writing was in his blood, and that his wife had been correct all along. Milan now looks forward to the release of his latest novel, The Sun Has Set, My Friends. When not conjuring up fictional characters, Milan passes his time by practicing cardiology in Toronto, where he lives with his wife and their two dogs. His three grown children are always nearby, as is his squash racquet and a glass of good scotch.
