Children's author. I read and write a lot, and dust occasionally. No chat messages unless we are already acquainted, please.
So, I didn't imagine hearing them call my name for the Ann Connor Brimer Award...

A chilling story from Mahtab Narsimhan.
Something tells me I wasn't careful enough! If you don't hear from me soon, send someone to see if I got stuck under the bed! #mahtabnarsimhan writes seriously scary stories!

I'm proud to be working with DCB, one of the Canadian publishers in this list. Every single one of DCB's books are printed here in Canada! Next time you're looking for a middle grade story may I (modestly) recommend A Bend in the Breeze as my best book to date?

I'm not nervous - you're nervous!!
Okay, I might be a little bit nervous - but that's only because Mahtab can be terrifying!! Don't let her innocent face fool you.
2025 marks the 200th year anniversary of the Great Miramichi Fire, the subject of my first historical novel.
