Ep 153: Somaiya Daud

Somaiya Daud, debut author of YA sci-fi book MIRAGE, was the very
first author I ever interviewed for First Draft Podcast. We had a
lot to catch up on since then, so listen now to hear about
Somaiya’s bumpy path to publication, the way race plays into our
concepts of the future and, of course, Star Wars!
