About the instructor:
Mahtab Narsiman is an author based in Squamish. Writing, her fifth and final career, has been the most rewarding. It started with a humble diary in 2004, about life back home in Mumbai and morphed into the beginning of The Third Eye—the first book in the Tara Trilogy. There were lots of rejections before she got published. She met each of these rejections armed with a positive attitude, and chocolate. Lots of it. After four years of persevering, The Third Eye was published in 2007 and won the Silver Birch Fiction Award in 2009. Mahtab hasn’t looked back since.
