ey everyone!! It's our last podcast before our Spring Break! This week, we are excited to have Cyan Bleu @cyanbleu_thepenpusha author of gripping, urban romannce join our podcast to talk about her craft and books.
About Cyan:
Cyan Bleu is a Florida native raised in Houston Texas and residing in the DMV area. Her passion for reading began at an early age, allowing her to consume two to three books per week. As her enthusiasm for literature grew, she developed an interest in writing poetry, which she performed at various poetry venues around Houston. This experience has led her to author novels and short stories. Cyan Bleu is a fearless voice in urban romance, crafting stories that live and breathe through complex characters, raw emotion, and the unapologetic truths of the streets. With a style that blends cinematic drama with soulful grit, Cyan’s work explores the intersection of love, loyalty, and survival in a world where nothing is promised, but everything is earned.
