Description

Jeanne and Ciara chat with author Leila Siddiqui—a Senior Manager of Digital Strategy at DK, a division of Penguin Random House—about her new gothic horror novel, The Glowing Hours.

"A mind-bending, revisionist gothic horror story about the fabled summer Mary Shelley began work on Frankenstein, as told by her Indian housemaid." 

We dive into her inspiration, the challenges of historical research, and the joys of weaving in fiction. Plus, writing routines, being an evil twin ... and so much more!
