Jyoti Guptara (born 22 November 1988) is a young novelist of British and Indian heritage, best known as co-author of the ''Insanity Saga'' (writing together with twin brother Suresh Guptara). ==Biography== Jyoti Guptara was born in Frimley, Surrey, UK, to an English mother (Philippa Guptara) and Indian father (Prabhu Guptara), and raised in Farnham, Surrey, until the age of seven, when he moved to Weinfelden, Switzerland, where he is currently based as probably the youngest full-time writer in the world starting at the age of 15. He and his twin brother Suresh finished the first draft of their critically acclaimed fantasy epic, ''Conspiracy of Calaspia'', at the age of eleven. At the age of fifteen, Jyoti became the youngest known journalist to publish a piece in ''The Wall Street Journal''. Soon after this he left the ''Kantonsschule Frauenfeld'' to study on his own (homeschooling, but teaching himself), successfully completing his O-levels before becoming a professional full-time writer. At the age of seventeen, ''Conspiracy of Calaspia'' made him one of the world's youngest bestselling authors. Jyoti and his brother have finished the 2nd Book called "Warrior Code/Codex Cumulus". The book was released in German in March 2009. No release date is known for other countries. They are now busy working on the 3rd Book. The weekly national magazine ''Schweizer Illustrierte'' selected the twins for their list of the "100 Most Important Swiss" (''100 Wichtigste Schweizer'') of 2008. Due to Swiss citizenship, Guptara was drafted into the Swiss Armed Forces. After scoring high marks in his recruitment, Guptara trained with the Armoured Grenadiers, one of the nation's toughest units. His military service lasted from June to August 2009, when he was dismissed for medical reasons. During this time, he wrote a weekly column for Tages-Anzeiger, Switzerland's largest subscribed daily newspaper. Instead of switching to a less challenging unit, Guptara decided to do civilian service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jyoti Guptara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
