Season 3. Episode 6 : A Different Kind of Desi (A #WritinginColour interview ft. Suleikha Snyder)

Shape Shifters? Hindu Nypmhs? and Idris Elba?  What do they have in common. They were all inspiration for the new paranormal work by Suleikha Snyder. Our episode this week gets us ready for Spooky Season with an interview with the Indian-American author of contemporary, erotic, and paranormal romance. We talk all about her recent novel, just in time for Halloween, entitled Pretty Little Lion. About Suleikha: Suleikha Snyder is a best-selling and award-winning author of contemporary and erotic romance, whose works have been showcased in Entertainment Weekly, BuzzFeed, The Times of India, and NPR. A second-generation Indian-American, Suleikha grew up in the heartland of America and in two cultures. From an early age, Suleikha was enraptured by books, film, and television...finding a place to belong amidst the crew of the Millennium Falcon and outside the glittering ballrooms of the ton, looking in. She soon began writing original stories as well as fan fiction—something she still does today—but detoured into entertainment journalism rather than pursuing creative writing as a career. After more than a decade in print media, and well after her humble beginnings scribbling 21 Jump Street fic, Suleikha is successfully living out her dream of being a romance writer. Her short stories and novellas are sexy, diverse, and sometimes peppered with bits of Bengali or Hindi. Expect masala, masti, and maybe a little mayhem! A passionate advocate for diversity and inclusivity in publishing, Suleikha is frequently ranting when she should really be adding to her body of work. She currently lives in Chicago, finding inspiration in Bollywood films, daytime and primetime soaps, and anything that involves chocolate or bacon. Follow Suleikha at www.SuleikhaSnyder.com In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk about Eve's new bundle of joy, Moynetta Shaw's new hubby, and Tori Hart on keeping her last name and positive co-parenting. In Watching Romance, we are gearing up this weekend for our Christmas Movie Seasonm, starting with 3 movies on Hallmark: Christmas in my Hear (w/ Sheryl Lee Ralph), The Santa Stakeout w/ Tamera Mowery, and Boyfriend of Christmas Past with Katherine Kim.
