🎙️ Welcome back to The Mythic Mic Podcast, where myths intertwine with reality, legends come to life, and fantasy is more than just a story! In this episode, host Bethany Amanda sits down with the powerhouse behind Trial of the Sun Queen and Not Safe for Work—the one and only Nisha J. Tuli.
From deadly trials to rom-coms and polar bears (yes, really), Nisha shares the winding, inspiring journey that led her from engineering school to the fantasy shelves of thousands. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a thriving author career, balance creativity with market demands, or keep writing even when the odds feel stacked against you—this is your episode.
🗝️ What if your first book didn’t sell … and your second didn’t either? 💥 What if you made your own success while publishing said no? 🔥 And what if a South Asian fantasy heroine took back her power one page at a time?
We go behind the scenes of Nisha’s bestselling series, explore why enemies to lovers and morally gray women resonate so deeply, and talk about how female friendships, internalized misogyny, and hard-won autonomy shape her unforgettable heroines. Bonus? We get a sneak peek at Nisha’s dystopian YA with Red Tower’s new imprint—and her spicy new rom-com Not Safe for Work.
🔥 IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT…
✨ How Nisha went from engineering and burned-out tourism marketer to full-time bestselling author.
✨ What indie publishing taught her about grit, growth, and knowing your market.
✨ The art of balancing creativity with strategy—and why your first book probably won’t be the one.
✨ Why Trial of the Sun Queen is The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with dragons and soul.
✨ Complex women, fierce loyalty, and the politics of writing heroines.
✨ How switching genres made space for her contemporary debut.
✨ What happens when you put a confident female engineer in a room with her nemesis—and there’s only one bed 😏
✨ Sisterhood, villains, soap theft, and PowerPoint-worthy rage.
✨ A rapid-fire round that involves half-naked men, evil Instagram takeovers, and polar bear lodges. 🐾
