Coffee with the Dog

Reenita Hora is the unrivaled 'Nora Ephron' of South Asian storytelling. Her writing, unapologetically Indian, pulses with the rich colors and rhythms of her culture. LA Weekly has dubbed her a top Indie writer bringing Indian culture and humor to American audiences. In her previous life, Reenita was a journalist, editor, and writer. No one-trick pony though, she's the brains behind not one but two rib-tickling podcasts: the 'True Fiction Project' and 'Shadow Realm.' She has optioned her book, Ace Of Blades, and her screenplay, SHADOW REALM. What's next? Brace yourself for 'Festival of Lights' published by Harper Collins and 'Vermilion Harvest: Playtime at the Bagh' published by Indignor Press, coming soon to a bookshelf near you! About: Vermilion Harvest - Playtime at the Bagh Historical fiction love story (not romance). Literary fiction. In a politically tense Amritsar in 1919, an Anglo-Indian schoolteacher and a feisty Muslim stu- dent activist fall in love, but find that courting openly is easier said than done — not only are they from different communities but his political activism comes at the cost of their romance. Against the deadline of a ticking time-bomb, the schoolteacher must find her lover to warn him about General Dyer's impending attack on Jallianwallah Bagh. But will she succeed in getting to the venue on time? ‘Playtime at the Bagh’ during Baisakhi is a metaphor for General Dyer’s game of bullets in Jallianwallah Bagh on April 13th 1919. https://reenita.com/
