The author

Jinesh Bhagdev

Being present is a choice. So is being absent.

I’m Jinesh Bhagdev. I wrote happily (n)ever after: A Love Story of One More Day, published in June 2026. I’m working on the next one.

I travel a lot for work, so most of this one got written in the gaps. I write at the end of the day, when everything that had to be done is done.

The title is the argument. There is an ever hiding inside (n)ever, and the book is about the people who go looking for it.
