Join Resa Nelson for Indian food and a discussion of how a short story of hers that I published in Science Fiction Age magazine grew into not just a single novel, but a series of novels, why she watches the Japanese  movie The Mystery of Rampo  before beginning any new writing project, what she learned from the hundreds of film interviews she did for Realms of Fantasy magazine,  and more.
