Ayyappa Pitaka is an Indian author from Tadepalligudem, Andhra Pradesh.
He writes fiction that travels. Stories that begin in one place and end somewhere the reader did not expect. Characters who carry things for a long time before they know what they are carrying.
His debut series, The Saga of Storm Brothers, is an eight-book Indian family saga spanning one hundred and twenty years, four generations, three continents, and one principle that refused to stop growing. The series begins in Bombay in 1927 and ends in Mumbai in 2047. It is the story of what one honest idea can do when the right people carry it forward.
He believes that the best stories are not about extraordinary people. They are about ordinary people who paid close enough attention to become extraordinary. That is the kind of story he writes. That is the only kind of story he wants to write.
He lives and writes in Andhra Pradesh, India.
The Saga of Storm Brothers is his first series. It will not be his last.
