Ep. 57: Romance in the real world with author Sonali Dev
I had so much fun speaking with author Sonali Dev, creator of Bollywood-style love stories with a multicultural cast of characters you will definitely root for! I love her Bay Area based, Jane Austen inspired series based on the Raje family - the latest of which just released and is a great end of summer read!
Join me in hearing how this architect turned into a full-time author, how being too chatty got her everywhere in life and what’s next for her and the fabulous Rajes!
