Theme Reveal: Blogging from A-Z, April Challenge 2019

I managed to complete the A-Z Challenge 2015 consisting of stories from the Indian Mythology and felt quite thrilled with myself. It was truly a challenge not just coming up with a theme but ensuring that there were stories suitable for each alphabet. The best part of the A-ZChallenge is the lack of competition. Participating in this is to pit my wits against myself and none else. That’s what I feel most exciting about this journey along with a huge number of bloggers from around the globe.

The past few years, I have got so busy with writing and publishing my books as an indie author that I haven’t had the time or the bandwidth to take part in this. But this year, even before 2019 dawned, I had made a promise to myself: TO PARTICIPATE in A-Z April Challenge 2019.

And here I am, with my theme reveal, though a bit later than the March 18 dateline. I am planning to talk about my books and my characters, a little bit about how I do my research and the hurdles I faced while penning a particular story or creating a persona during April 2019.

Looking forward to meeting new bloggers and reading a lot of interesting stuff from around the world.

See you all on April 1, 2019!

From An-Other Land
by 
Tanushree Ghosh

BLURB

Never has been the conversation on immigration more pertinent than now, post 2016 US elections. From cancellation of refugee protection and zero tolerance to undercurrent crackdown on H visas, the resurgence of nationalism is hitting the globalized population head-on. 

But what is immigration today? A question of life or death - fleeing of persecution? A compulsion? Or a mere pursuance of privilege? 

And what is the US today? A land of opportunities? Or a quagmire impossible to comprehend, inherently racist and selfish?

From An-Other Land dives deep into immigration today for the Indian diaspora and its many facets with characters who seek to define themselves in an intercultural setting that is less and less sure of itself. A reality check and a guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern-day US.
