We are thrilled to welcome back award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev. Dubbed by Shelf Awareness as “not only one of the best but one of the bravest romance novelists working today,” Sonali writes Bollywood-style love stories that explore universal issues. She joins us to discuss the hilarious and heartfelt THE VIBRANT YEARS, which was the first novel to be published by Mindy’s Book Studio, the new Amazon Publishing imprint of Emmy-nominated actress, comedian, writer, and producer, Mindy Kaling. We talk to Sonali all about how she manifested her working relationship with Mindy using a vision board to realize her biggest professional dream. We also discuss her choice to focus on a mother-in-law relationship over a standard mother/daughter dynamic, how she imbues her older characters with joy and vibrancy, and her shift with this book away from writing re-tellings of classics. The full crew also discusses books of theirs and favorites by other authors that offer up the perfect escape without leaving your armchair. Tune in for lots of laughs, warmth and honest insights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
