About the Author

I'm Ekta Shah.

A housewife, a mother, and finally — an author.

I'm Ekta Shah — a housewife, a mother, and now, finally, an author.

For many years, my world revolved around caring for my family. Like many women, I quietly placed my own dreams on hold. Somewhere along the way, I realised it's never too late to return to the things that once made your heart feel alive.

I have always loved romance — the quiet kind of love that grows through patience, respect, and understanding. Writing became a way for me to explore those emotions and give voice to the feelings many of us carry but rarely express.

Better Than Almost: A Quiet Love Story is my debut novel — a dream I chose to complete for myself.

I believe stories are not only meant to be read — they are meant to be felt and shared. I enjoy listening to people, their emotions, their journeys, and the quiet moments that shape their lives.

If this story speaks to you, I would love to hear from you.

Would love to connect with you on Instagram: @author_ektashah
