Pratap Reddy moved to Canada from India in 2002. An underwriter by day and a writer by night, he writes about the angst and the agonies (on occasion the ecstasies) of newly arrived immigrants. His stories have been published in Canada, India, and the USA. Weather Permitting & Other Stories is his first collection. He is working on a second volume of short fiction, and a novel. He lives in Mississauga with his wife and son.
