For A to Z challenge this year, I have chosen to feature the “Authors of Razzmatazz” as it has always been a desire to not just interview the authors on my YouTube channel but also write about them. The idea is to feature as many authors I can, however, it won’t be possible to include them all. You can watch all the 100 episodes on my channel anytime.
“Razzmatazz with Rashi” is a YouTube show that gives a platform to the authors to introduce their books and share their writing journey. A book is a dream and on this platform we celebrate that journey of hard work and dedication. The show is the winner of the Global Book Community Awards 2020. It has become a trusted platform for authors and running successfully with four seasons and more than hundred episodes so far.
In today’s post we have Xanadu by Harshita Nanda
Harshita was featured on Razzmatazz with her every time with a new book. It has always been a pleasure to have her on the show and listen to her inspiring writing journey. You will find the links to her books and social media in the description of the video.
About the Author
Harshita Nanda is an avid reader and a lover of the written word. Trained as an engineer, she settled into becoming a stay-at-home mother after relocating to Dubai. The passion for the written word, however, continued to burn. Her first novella “Xanadu :Three Souls Searching For Paradise” was first published in Blogchatter EbookCarnival, 2021. It was later released as a paperback and on other digital platforms to critical acclaim. Her articles and short stories have been published on leading websites like SheThePeople.tv, Momspresso.com and WomensWeb.in. “A Potpourri Of Drabble” is a collection of her (much) appreciated 100 Word Stories. She also came up with a book on her BITsian memories ‘BITS and Pieces.’
About the Books
‘Xanadu’
A young girl lives a simple life surrounded by nature and the love of her parents. An earthquake destroys her home and changes her life forever. A young boy struggles with the loss of his mother. As a reward for honesty, he gets a step up in life but has to leave behind all that is familiar to him. An old lady lives alone, surrounded by memories and whispers of the past. What is the link between them? Where is their Xanadu?
‘A Potpourri of Drabble’
How many words do you need to tell a story that tugs on the heartstrings? Our fast-paced lives mean we are always on the move, distracted by our smartphones and new content on Netflix. No one has the time or patience to read a full-length novel. But what if one still wants to read engaging stories without spending hours? “A Potpourri of Drabble” is a collection of 100-word stories that hits the right spot in satisfying the bookworm within, but without too much investment of time. These microfiction stories can be read on the go, even if one has only five minutes to spare. It tests the mettle of the author to tell a story within hundred words. The stories depict a range of emotions from love, sadness, rage and betrayal. With most stories having a twist at the end, these stories will tug on your heartstrings.
‘BITS and Pieces: A Collage Of My BITSian Memories’
The world of BITS Pilani is secluded, enclosed within the walls of its Vidya Vihar campus. BITS and Pieces: A Collage of my BITSian Memories is a book that will take readers on a walk down memory lane. Through the book, readers will learn about the secrets, quirks and what makes BITS Pilani stand out from the crowd. It evokes images of the simpler pre-mobile days when BITS Pilani had only one campus. Steeped in nostalgia, BITS and Pieces: A Collage Of My BITSian Memories offers a glimpse into the campus life of BITS Pilani during pre-mobile days when BITS Pilani had only one campus. This book will appeal to BITSians, ex-BITSians and even non-BITSians who either want to relive their memories or want to know more about BITS Pilani.
