Nivetha M Vijayakrishnan

I used to work as an administrative assistant. Then I got married, had my son, and spent those years focused on raising him — writing wasn't on my radar at all.

Looking back, though, writing was always there in some form. I used to write for small competitions back in school. Life just took me elsewhere for a while.

It was my son, who asked me a question I couldn't shake: why do humans choose war? That question became A Man in All Times — a speculative historical fiction book about a recovering addict who discovers time travel and finds himself pulled into the lives of Oppenheimer and Keynes during World War II .
