Salaam!

It's #MasalaMonday & we're starting the week with an absolute star!

Indian-American @VaishnaWrites likes to write at the intersection of Indian myth, feminism, and anti-colonialism. Her Ramayana retelling, KAIKEYI, is set to release in 2022 & we're so psyched about it!

[Desi Writers Community @DesiWriters]

@VaishnaWrites 😭 Omg are you kidding?! There wasn't enough tweet space to say how exhilarated I am about KAIKEYI!! I love an Indian mythology retelling and the POV and that cover are just 🤩❤🤩❤

[Desi Writers Community @DesiWriters]
