About the author: Ashwin Sanghi

On TOI official wbsite I found this nice article about Mr. Ashwin Sanghi. TOI writes very beatifully about the authors and the way they present it, It excites me. So I am copying the way they do it. Thank you Times of India for this.

Ashwin Sanghi is counted among India’s highest-selling English fiction authors. Till date he has written four novels, all bestsellers -- The Rozabal Line, Chanakya’s Chant, The Krishna Key and Private India.

The Rozabal Line, a theological thriller based on the theory that Jesus died in Kashmir first self-published under his pseudonym, Shawn Haigins and later by Westland under his own name, became a national bestseller. Chanakya’s Chant, a modern-day political thriller with roots in ancient Mauryan history, shot into almost every bestseller list and went on to win the Crossword Popular Choice Award, remaining on AC Nielsen’s India Top-10 for over two years.

The Krishna Key, a riveting thriller that explores the ancient secrets of the Vedic age and the Mahabharata, was released in August 2012 and shot to #1 on the A.C. Nielsen rankings within a week. Private India was a collaboration with James Patterson, the world’s highest selling thriller writer. It is an India-based crime thriller in Patterson’s Private series and was released in July 2014. The book hit #1 on AC Nielsen’s India Fiction list and then the UK Top-10 six weeks later. It went on to hit the New York Times bestseller list.

Ashwin has recently penned a non-fiction title, 13 Steps to Bloody Good Luck, a motivational self-help book. He is working on his next independent title, Sialkot Saga, a business thriller with a historical twist.

Ashwin was included by Forbes India in their Celebrity India 100 Rankings.He is an entrepreneur, but writing historical fiction in the thriller genre is his passion and hobby. When he isn't busy churning out bestsellers, he works for the MK Sanghi Group, which has varied business interests in India.
