First, Congratulations! Now, my question: Holding the finished book in your hands, cover, binding, new paper smell, is it as you imagined? To what extent does the book match what was in your mind before the first draft?
Tasha Suri
Thanks Tade, and happy publication day! I'm looking forward to seeing ROSEWATER in my local bookshop. *throws confetti*
I don't have the finished book yet, but holding the ARCs was a weirdly overwhelming experience. That feeling of 'IT'S A REAL BOOK' is very trippy.
The inside pages are far more beautiful than I'd imagined they would be, and the cover is gorgeous. It isn't anything like I imagined it would be, largely because I didn't have any idea what to expect, or what I wanted. I'm not a very arty person, so I just didn't have a vision at all. In terms of the *content* of the book, it's a lot darker and creepier than I'd though it would be, when I started drafting it. But I'm pleased with that, to be honest.

Hi, Tasha! I’d love to get your take on tea and cats (not necessarily combined, though if you have stories, I want to know!). What are your favorite teas, and how do you prepare them? Do you think tea preferences are more a matter of nature or nurture? As a cat parent, can you tell us whether cats are forming a secret cabal to take over the world? And of course, how are you finding the journey to publication?

Tasha Suri:
Hi Tasha! I just finished an ARC of Empire of Sand and really enjoyed it. In the Q&A you mentioned reading a lot about the Mughal Empire in researching the book. Are there some popular histories that you would recommend to general readers who are wanting to start to learn more about the Mughal Empire, especially those of us who don't have access to more academic texts?
