Ketan Shukla

Ketan Shukla writes both fiction and non-fiction, driven by an honest curiosity about how things actually work — whether that’s the mechanics of mastery, the nature of belief, or the interior life of characters facing impossible choices.

His published work spans three series and twenty-two books. The Repetition: Mother of Mastery series is a five-book non-fiction exploration of the science, psychology, and daily practice of mastery — from neural pathways and habit formation to creative performance and long-term growth. The Reality Without Belief series is a five-book non-fiction work that dismantles the unexamined reverence for belief, faces reality directly, and arrives at the quiet freedom of having nothing left to defend.

Aztec Samurai Adventures is his fiction work — a twelve-book epic fantasy saga spanning three acts. It follows a reluctant warrior and her growing team as they face an empire, forge alliances, lose mentors, and fight a war that tests everything they believe about leadership, sacrifice, and what it means to protect something worth protecting.

Ketan approaches writing the way he approaches everything else: with patience, sustained effort, and the belief that the best work comes from genuine curiosity rather than borrowed formulas. He is not interested in writing quickly — he is interested in writing well. Each book in each series was written with the same standard: does this say something true? Does it earn the reader’s time?

When he’s not writing, you’ll likely find him at the snooker table — another pursuit where patience, precision, and repetition quietly reveal their rewards.
