ABOUT

Welcome to Bookspondering

Hello, and a warm welcome!

I’m Rajendra Sarilla. By day (and often by night), I am a life coach dedicated to guiding individuals toward their potential. But when the quiet hours descend here in Vizag, my beloved coastal city in Andhra Pradesh, I trade the coach’s hat for the writer’s quill.

At 40, I find myself at the intersection of guiding lives and creating worlds. I am an award-winning author, and my debut into the realm of fantasy was with Scarlett Lost in the Five Lands. More recently, I ventured into an epic crossover with Mahabharat Warriors: RAVANA RETURNS, reimagining legendary characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Seeing readers fall in love with this new world has been a humbling and thrilling experience.

However, this blog isn't just about my books.

It’s about us—the writers.

Having walked the path myself, I know the silent struggle of a writer better than most. We pour our souls onto paper, only to find our potential readers distracted by the relentless scroll of social media. It’s hard to cut through the noise.

Yet, a part of me remains an eternal optimist.

I believe that a significant section of the reading community is circling back. They are rediscovering the quiet pleasure of reading—not just quick status updates, but long-form articles and thoughtful blogs that breathe life into words. They are returning for the fluency, the depth, and the experience.

Through Bookspondering, I wish to help my fellow writers connect with that audience. Let’s navigate this beautiful, challenging journey together.

Welcome aboard.

Rajendra Sarilla
