Roshni Chokshi
Chokshi's mother is Filipino and her father is Gujarati, from India,[3] both immigrants to the United States.[4] She grew up speaking English,[3] rather than her parents' native languages, Tagalog and Gujarati.[5] Chokshi was raised as a Hindu, which she often draws on in her novels.[5] Her first novel sold while she attended law school[3] at the University of Georgia, and she ultimately dropped out to pursue writing.[6] She cites Neil Gaiman as one of her influences to pursue a writing career.[7]
Chokshi lives in Georgia in the United States.[8]
