Honey and Heat

“Palit also finds space within this light romance to explore the familial pressure and patriarchal expectations placed on Cynthia, making her a heroine readers will root for. This charms.”—Publishers Weekly

Aurora Palit, a first generation Bengali-Canadian, grew up in rural Alberta, where she was always the only South Asian student in her class. Her love of reading began at age four but it wasn’t until high school that she realized happily-ever-afters are her jam. Aurora is now writing those stories with her own unique brand of humor, perspective, and belief that people of color deserve love stories too. During her time pursuing a master’s degree in English literature, Aurora was drawn to discourses on diaspora and identity, racism, and multi-generational immigrant experiences; topics she now explores in her writing. When she’s not testing her characters’ patience, Aurora is raising small humans, roasting her spouse, prowling for chocolate, and dancing for all that she’s worth. She also spends her days adulting as a communications professional for a not for profit organization.
