Spicy Saturday: Hrithik Roshan

The son of actor and director Rakesh Roshan, blockbuster hero Hrithik Roshan is no green-eyed monster. If anything, it's his career that's been an unstoppable beast! He's been setting ladies and gents' hearts aflutter since his debut in 2000's Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, and his recent turns in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Agneepath have earned raves. Hrithik's played a superhero (Krrish), a quadriplegic magician (Guzaarish) and even a Mughul emperor (Jodhaa Akbar). While choosing challenging roles, he's also playing his most important one: husband to Suzanne and dad to their two adorable sons.

Lady Jane's Salon: Making My Debut!

Three-year-old Lady Jane's Salon is New York's first, and only, monthly romance reading series. Hosted by Hope Tarr, Leanna Renee Hieber and Ron Hogan and held the first Monday of every month at Madame X, it's a must for genre fiction lovers! As a frequent attendee, I've met scores of wonderful people and become energized by the romance reading and writing community. At no point was that more apparent than last night, when I had the honor of reading from Spice and Smoke, alongside YA authors Zoraida Cordova (The Vicious Deep) and Alethea Kontis (Enchanted), steampunk writer Kate (a.k.a. Kady) Cross (Heart of Brass), and historical fiction author Sherry Jones (Four Sisters, All Queens).

Spicy Saturday: Kunal Kapoor


Not to be confused with the Kunal Kapoor who is the son of Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kendal, or the Kunaal Roy Kapur from the raunchy comedy Delhi Belly, this tall drink of hot water and Mumbai native caught Bollywood's attention as Aslam in 2006's critically acclaimed Rang De Basanti. His most recent film outing was in a supporting capacity in 2011's blockbuster Don 2. Into theater and very selective about his projects, finding Kunal in a film is like finding a pearl in an oyster. Of course, he stars nightly in many a fantasy...
