Thank you for taking the time to visit my world of words.

Hi, I’m Riya Bhorkar — welcome to my little corner of the internet. 🤍
If you love stories that stay with you (the kind you think about while making tea, scrolling at midnight, or staring out of a window a little too long), you’re in the right place.

I’ve always been a reader first—the kind who collects books like keepsakes, highlights lines that feel like secrets, and gets emotionally attached to characters who aren’t even real. Somewhere along the way, reading quietly turned into writing honestly… and then, finally, into publishing.

Today, I’m a writer who’s deeply drawn to psychological fiction, poetry, and emotionally layered storytelling—stories that don’t rush to explain themselves, and feelings that don’t wrap up neatly. I like writing that’s a little haunting, a little tender, and completely human.

How it started (and why it still matters)

I didn’t begin with perfect drafts or big plans. I began with half-formed thoughts—scribbled on crumpled pages, written in margins, folded into corners like they were too shy to be seen.

And I’ll always be grateful for one small thing that made a huge difference: a friend who kept those messy pages safe, as if they mattered. When my writing felt “small” and unfinished, that quiet belief made me feel like it was still worth holding on to.

I think that’s why I write the way I do now: with softness, with intensity, with honesty—and with the hope that someone else might feel seen in it.

My books (and the worlds I’m building)

I’ve recently authored two books on Amazon Kindle, and publishing them has been one of the most personal, surreal, beautiful milestones of my life.

One of them is my debut book:

📘 The Water Never Tells
A blend of poetry and prose shaped into a psychological thriller, told through an unreliable narrator—where truth feels slippery, and silence says more than words ever could.

On this website, I’ll be sharing more about my writing journey, my books, and the quiet little moments behind the scenes—because I’ve learned that the “before” matters just as much as the finished work.

What you’ll find here

This space is a mix of the things I genuinely love and live:

• Book reviews (honest, thoughtful, and spoiler-safe when possible)

• Reading lists & recommendations (especially emotional, psychological, and page-turner energy)

• Poetry, reflections, and personal writing

• Occasional posts that feel like a warm conversation—because that’s how I want this place to feel

If you’re someone who enjoys depth, meaning, and stories with a pulse, you’ll probably feel at home here.

Let’s stay connected

If you’d like to say hi, share a book recommendation, collaborate, or just tell me what you’re reading right now—I’d truly love that.

Thanks for being here.
Take your time. Read slowly. Stay a little longer. 🤍
