Durga Bernhard: Hello, my name is Durga Yael Bernhard. Durga is a nickname that I took over 20 years ago, it's a name from India that I thought would make a good pen name so I kept it for publishing books. Yael is a Hebrew name and is named after my father, whose name also began with the Hebrew letter yodh, and it means mountain goat. Bernhard is a German name, which means brave as a bear. So I have a name that comes from many different places, and my books also visit many different places.
