About Mohini

Mohini Dasari is a general surgeon who often swaps the scalpel for the pen. She enjoys writing a variety of genres including poetry, narrative essay, and fiction. She finds writing to be an incredibly therapeutic and powerful form of expression and loves the opportunity to connect with others through sharing the written word.

Her debut novel, a coming-of-age fiction story, will be published in January 2026 (Girl Friday Productions). She wrote the story originally while in college, and more recently has had time to revisit and edit it and is thrilled to be able to share it soon with the world!
 

She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, vivacious and talkative daughter, and 7-pound moody dog named Hamilton.
 

In addition to writing, Mohini's other interests include yoga and food. After a career trajectory change within surgery in 2023, while in between jobs, she pursued more intense study of yoga through a 200-hour yoga teacher training. She is also trained in the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam.
