What happens when fiction borrows the warmth of reality? In this debut collection, Harsh Munjal brings together stories that celebrate life's tender moments. Each tale, inspired by real people and events, carries the authenticity of truth and the comfort of well-crafted fiction. Perfect for readers who believe in the magic of everyday life—and an ideal companion for your next flight, road trip, beach day, or as a delightful breather between bigger books.
While some of these stories might feel familiar to my newsletter readers, there's something special about holding them together in a book—a completely different experience from reading them piece by piece in your inbox. And by choosing this collection, you're not just getting stories; you're directly supporting an independent author's journey to bring more such tales to life.
Harsh Munjal's journey as a storyteller began in an unlikely place—between his grandfather's hardware shop and a neighboring scrap dealer's collection of books. Those childhood Sundays spent racing through borrowed stories planted the seeds for his writing journey.
Today, he crafts fiction that dance on the delicate line between reality and imagination, drawing inspiration from everyday moments, overheard conversations, and chance encounters. His writing style combines the authenticity of real-life experiences with the gentle touch of fiction, creating stories that feel both familiar and magical.
"Almost Fiction," his debut series, launches in 2025 with a collection of heartwarming stories. His upcoming works span across multiple genres—from imaginative science fiction that questions 'what if?' to enchanting children's tales that bring back the wonder of those Sunday afternoons from his childhood.
When not writing, Harsh continues to collect moments and memories that might just turn into his next story, whether it's set in our world or among the stars.
