Autor/-in: Zara Biddappa

Zara Biddappa is an aspiring author, poet, and storyteller from Coorg (Kodagu), a lush mountainous region in Karnataka known for its dense forests, coffee plantations, and mist-covered hills. Her writing journey began in middle school, where she explored poetry before gradually moving into creative storytelling and fiction. Her inspiration comes largely from imagination and dreams, which often shape the worlds and characters in her writing, including unusual and imaginative ideas such as a flying crocodile. Under the guidance of her mentor, Fredrik Martin Wollentz, she spent two years developing her craft through poetry, haiku, and short fiction. The works in Echoes From The Mind's Garden reflect her creativity, growth, and passion for storytelling through vivid and imaginative narratives.
