Hello My Happy People,
Today I bring you an interview with the incredible interracial romance author, Khushi T. Saha. We talked about her writing process, all of her published works, and an upcoming event where fans could actually meet her. We did the usual five quick questions that turned out surprisingly quicker than normal.
Khushi is a first-generation Bangladeshi in America. While she was born and raised in the U.S., her connection to the motherland is fierce. It is easy to recognize South Asian references and representation purposely sprinkled throughout her novels.
Khushi has always been a notorious daydreamer, finding distraction in the creation of her own worlds. When you add this creative mindset to her tendency to be, in her words, a mushy person, it is easy to understand the appeal romance books held for her, both reading and writing.
Khushi credits her decision to write romance novels as an attempt at self-care. Writing became therapy to deal with past personal trauma. There was no way she could have predicted her chosen method of healing would eventually evolve into a full fledged romance writing career.
In her novels, Khushi strives to bring a voice to underrepresented people with her interracial romances. Her stories are full of angst and personal growth, with plenty of steamy passion, a touch of snarky humor, and love.
Don't wait, go listen now by clicking the purple microphone below. Then check out the latest issue of Book Banter Magazine for more information on Khushi and all the authors coming up on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt, Book Talk Podcast in the next two months.
Watch for a special guest author blog coming next Monday with great tips for authors to engage with your market.
