**Romil TNV** is a writer and filmmaker crafting stories that linger in the mind long after the last page is turned. His debut novel, *Umber Oblivion*, is a deep dive into themes of memory, identity, and the shadows we leave behind. With a background in journalism, including work with *The New Indian Express*, Romil brings a sharp, observant style to his fiction, blending realism with a touch of the surreal. When he's not writing, Romil is immersed in the world of cinema—directing, scripting, and shaping narratives that challenge and captivate. *Umber Oblivion* is the culmination of years of storytelling experience, a book that reflects his relentless pursuit of meaning through words and visuals. Currently, he resides in Kerala, where he balances writing with filmmaking—and keeping up with his energetic Labrador puppy.
