Yogesh writes mostly contemporary fiction and 500 Miles is his first book. His preferred genre varies from contemporary fiction to science fiction, but he also writes non-fiction as time permits. Born and brought up in central India, he spent most of his summers travelling by train around his area. People watching was always fun and micro-details of characters spotted on his journeys can be found in the stories in 500 Miles. An engineer by profession, it took some time for Yogesh to find out that his first love was writing, alongside traveling, tennis, and hiking. He lives in Minneapolis, USA.
