Author Soma Kar’s long-cherished dream of publishing her own book with vivid illustrations became a reality with her self-published mystery book for the children – The Old House By The Woods. 

Soma traces her love for writing to her high school years, when she would write extensively for her school magazine.  Driven by her passion for creative activities, she completed Diplomas in  Creative Writing and Fine Arts.  

Soma holds a Master’s degree from the University of Wollongong.  She is an award-winning test leader working for a multinational company in Sydney.

Soma grew up in a bookseller’s household where spicy curry imbues with mouth-watering sweets. When she is not reading, cooking or painting for relaxation, the fitness enthusiast loves to recharge by running, jogging, walking, and spending time with her family and pets.
