Dubai [UAE], September 12: Dubai-based author Charmie Bhayani’s debut novel Live in a Dream takes readers on an emotional journey through love, loss, and the unexpected twists life can bring. At 39, Charmie is rediscovering her identity beyond her roles as a mother and a former interior designer, embracing her passion for storytelling with heartfelt finesse.
Charmie’s path to becoming an author is shaped by varied life experiences across continents. Raised in Oman, educated in India and Germany, and now settled in Dubai, she brings a unique global perspective to her writing. Before turning to literature, Charmie earned her bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from CEPT University, Ahmedabad, in 2009 — an institution she credits with nurturing her creativity from a young age.
“I have always been an academic achiever but motherhood took center stage in my life. Nevertheless, it never diminished my love for creativity,” Charmie reflects. Balancing life as a full-time mother to her son Jivaan, she found solace and expression through poetry during her university days, which eventually blossomed into writing fiction.
