Jose Puttanani was born as the fifth child of Philip and Rosa in an inland village in South India in the ’60s. He grew up sharing everyday struggles of the family in the middle of famines and political uncertainty in post-independent India. Civil engineer by qualification and construction contract manager by profession, he travelled around India and the Middle East before settling in Australia. He has worked with Indian, European, American and Australian construction companies during the last twenty-five years. Married to Christina and a proud father of four children, Jose Puttanani currently lives in Brisbane. Jose was motivated to write from his experience in business writing and short stories. Independents of AD 2101 is his first attempt at fiction.
