Episode 34: Biryani, Jane Austin, and Mental Health ft. Farah Heron

I was honored to be invited to sit down with Farah Heron to discuss her newest release, Kamila Knows Best! From the story being a contemporary retelling of Emma by Jane Austin to how diverse characters don't need to live in a world of adversity, we discuss it all! I loved discussing the heavier topics while also discussing puppies, biryani parties, and how women who are seen as vapid because they take extra time with their appearance or want to host parties doesn't mean they don't have added depth.

Kamila Knows Best Synopsis: 

Jane Austen's Emma goes Bollywood in this delightful retelling, perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and Jasmine Guillory.

Kamila's life might not be perfect, but, whew, it's close. She lives a life of comfort, filled with elaborate Bollywood movie parties, a job she loves and an endless array of friends who clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with her friends' love lives, she's hardly given any thought to her own . . .

Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan. They've known each other forever, only lately, Kamila's 'harmless flirting' with Rohan is making her insides do a little bhangra dance.

But while she's busy proving to everyone that she's got it all figured out, Kamila can't let herself get distracted - until her secret nemesis returns to town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel - and her perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down.
