5 Questions With...Mina Khan!
EJ - You are the very talented author behind a slew of paranormal romances, your most notable being the djinn novels The Djinn's Dilemma & A Tale of Two Djinns. What drew you to write about this subject of paranormal? Mina Khan -Thank you for your kind words *turning pink with happiness.* My paranormal stories are about djinns, also known as jinn/jinni or genies because they were featured prominently in my childhood stories. I grew up in house supposedly built at a crossroads of the djinn and human world, nourished on spine-tingling tales about these otherworldly supernatural creatures with awesome scary powers. Just as vampires are popular in the Western world, djinns are popular in much of Asia, Africa and Middle East. Djinn stories are part of my writing psyche. EJ - That’s really cool to grow up with such vibrant tales of your heritage and makes sense that in A Tale of Two Djinn, when we dive more deeply into the djinn world of Akshay and Maya, we find it a very richly imagined place. Do you have any processes or techniques you use to help build and organize your myths? MK - With my first djinn stories, the myth sort of grew organically. However, I have made a more of an effort to be organized about it since then and a reader very kindly put together a Djinn World Bible for me and I add to it as I go along. I also have a giant whiteboard where I work out logistics and other knotty issues. I also story board on Pinterest while I’m writing, if you want to check them out here’s the link: http://www.pinterest.com/minakhan/ EJ - In your newest book, Wildfire, we meet Lynn a dragon shape-shifter living in Texas, your own home state. The geographical backdrop of this story seems just as alive as the characters and a pretty perfect place to have dragons flying around. Did location inspire the dragon lore or vise versa? MK - A little bit of both. West Texas has a very stark and wild beauty that I have come to love and I have a very active imagination. When I go to the beach I imagine all kinds of otherworldly creatures and can’t stay in the water for too long, so yes it was easy to imagine dragons in my West Texas landscape. Lol! However, I also wanted to write about a strong Asian American dragon shifter so that’s how Lynn came about. EJ - That’s hilarious that your imagination keeps you from swimming for too long! But it seems to have it’s advantages with giving you the ability to easily conjure the image of dragons in your backyard. Speaking of which, there's been much chatter from your fans with the hopes of seeing more dragons in your future work. Any little spoiler tidbits you can share with us about this possibility in future works? MK - Wildfire was originally written as a stand-alone novel, but during revisions I started getting all kinds of fun ideas and, of course, the reader feedback has been wonderful. So, I’m thinking there’ll be more Jack and Lynn stories, sort of follow the development of their relationship, and they will be mysteries.Yes, I’m working on the second book...along with a few djinn books. Lol, being busy keeps me out of trouble! EJ - And now for the non-related book question––Cooking seems to be another passion of yours with the culinary classes you teach and food writing you do on the side. What is your absolute favorite dish to make? MK - Oh yes, I think stories and cooking are two essential comforts of my life. My favorite dish to make is a pasta sauce with tomatoes, bell peppers and herbs from the garden. I love cooking and sharing it with family and friends. And that concludes our 5 Questions with.
