PRASHANT PINGE
An Eclectic Lens
Prashant Pinge is a two-time Crossword Book Award finalist who operates on a rather unusual frequency. With 15 books to his name, he has built a career out of refusing to stay in one lane—moving seamlessly from the playful wonder of children’s fiction to the "darkish" intrigue of YA fantasy, and the sharp wit of a romantic comedy.
His process is a mix of the mundane and the magnificent. Prashant draws from the sharp observations of daily life and filters them through a mind that constantly asks "what if?" This allows him to craft whimsical adventures for young readers one day, and pivot toward high-stakes heroics or contemporary "happily ever afters" the next.
Whether exploring the shadows of the paranormal or the intrigue of the past, his work is for those who believe that adventure should be wild and stories should have no ceiling. He currently plots his next move from Pune, fueled by far too much herbal tea and a constant curiosity for what lies just beyond the next horizon.
What's Brewing
Prashant’s next release marks a completely new direction in his writing journey. A romantic comedy filled with mistaken identities, eccentric characters, and wedding chaos is currently on the way.
Titled Kuku Mehta in Shining Armour, the novel follows Kuku, a reluctant guest at a destination wedding in Rajasthan whose quiet plans quickly unravel into romantic confusion, family drama, and escalating absurdity after a harmless airport lie spirals out of control.
Blending Wodehousian humour with Indian sensibilities, the story promises a light-hearted and entertaining mix of romance, farce, and the delightful chaos of Indian weddings.
