Manage episode 426666613 series 3428806
Bestselling and award winning author and journalist Saima Mir joins me, Nadine Matheson, in a candid, heartfelt conversation as we delve into the importance of inclusivity, representation, and the need for creative freedom. We also share personal stories about character development, the unexpected joys it brings, and the vital role of a robust support system in an author's personal and professional growth.
Navigate the unpredictable landscape of writing and publishing as we discuss the ups and downs of getting a book from manuscript to bookstore shelves. From managing initial expectations, perseverance and Saima's new novel, Vengeance.
Vengeance
For two years, Jia Khan has been running her late father’s organised crime business in the north of England. So far, her authority has remained unchallenged, but now things are beginning to unravel.
When she finds her father’s notebook recounting his arrival from Pakistan in the 1970s, it awakes an old family feud that could have devastating repercussions for Jia. And worst of all, one of her staff lies brutally slain, his corpse displayed provocatively in her garden despite her sophisticated security.
Someone is getting dangerously close. Could there be a traitor in Jia Khan’s trusted inner circle?
