"I read books so that I can learn from the characters and how they handle the obstacles in their lives. Now, I get to write those characters." Alka Joshi joins Zibby and shares how her latest book, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur, stemmed from her readers' requests for more stories about the characters in her first novel, The Henna Artist. Alka and Zibby also discuss where we might see Alka's characters in the third and final book of her trilogy and why sometimes it's better to become a writer later in life.
