We are so thrilled to be chatting with author Alka Joshi, one of our very favorite novelists! We love her books "The Henna Artist", "The Secret Keeper of Jaipur", and "The Perfumist of Paris". Alka will speak to this trilogy and (maybe!) her upcoming release, "Six Days in Bombay" (coming out on Feb 25th). Bring your questions and your cuppa chai because Alka will be prepared to answer all of our burning ones (the questions, not the chai :).
