ABOUT THE AUTHOR

K. Varia

Varia is a Chartered Engineer and works with large organisations, guiding them through the complexities of change.

In 2013 he started doing improv classes and found his route to creativity.

He began writing Fusion of Reality at the end of 2019, driven by a question that had long stayed with him: why do contradictions so often emerge between who we are at work, who we are at home, and the emotional tensions in between?

Over five years, he honed the craft of fiction writing while drawing from his professional experiences, personal reflections, and everyday interactions. The result is a novel that explores not only modern life, but also the deeper undercurrents of heritage, loss, and reconnection.

HAPPY READERS

Reviews By Readers

“A story that has beauty in the idea that a person’s worth is not tied to their achievements, nor capabilities, and that there is more importance in finding harmony within oneself.”

L.B., Belgium

“From an Asian perspective, the protagonist Aman’s journey is a deeply relatable one – a story about the importance of familial pride and traditions, and the weight of cultural expectations in one’s life.”

D.P., India

“Aman’s journey from excessive stress and depression to tranquillity and clarity is powerfully told – a reconnection with heritage, family, and meaningful relationships to help navigate the pressures of modern life.”

T.A., Wales

“Unlike many works of fiction where unrealistic events disrupt the narrative, Fusion of Reality feels grounded in real-life experiences. The challenges Aman faces are genuine and plausible”
