Alka Joshi
There comes a point in every daughter's life when she begins seeing her mother as a person separate from her family, someone who has an identity outside of motherhood. That was the moment I began re-imagining my mother's life, and that re-imagining became THE HENNA ARTIST. I was born in Rajasthan, India, and moved with my family to the U.S. when I was nine. Even after graduating from Stanford University, and working in advertising and marketing, I never considered becoming an author. But taking my mother to India in her later years changed all that. In 2011, I got my MFA in Creative Writing from the California College of Arts in San Francisco, California. It took 10 years, a lot of research, and many trips to India to complete my debut nove

Adrienne Gunn
Hi, I’m Adrienne! And I take pop culture way too seriously! I wrote a novel called FAN FAVORITE because I wanted to see what would happen if a regular gal who eats carbs and wears Birkenstocks went on a reality TV dating show and had to sit in a hot tub with a bunch of Instagram models (preorder now, in stores 6/24/25). Now I’m writing a romcom about a washed up pop star who goes on a Y2K reunion tour to win the heart of the boy bander of her dreams (Summer 2026). I write about pop culture on my Substack WHERE THE F*CK’S MY HAPPY ENDING?! and complain about how pop culture ruined my life on my podcast DON’T RUIN THIS FOR ME. On Wednesdays I watch Survivor. I believe RHOSLC is the best Housewives franchise. I’m obsessed with oil cleanser, Ve
