If you’ve been around Nerdy Chicks Rule from the beginning, Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen needs no introduction. She was the first Nerdy Chick I interviewed.

But Sudipta was also involved with the blog long before that interview took place. I was actually on the phone with her when I came up with the idea for Nerdy Chicks Rule, ran to my computer, and claimed the domain name.  (We talk on the phone a lot.) And while I was brainstorming how to develop the blog, she suggested the popular Quotable Nerdy Chick feature.

So when I decided I wanted to bring more content to the blog, but I couldn’t afford to put more hours into it, Sudipta was the first person I contacted to see if she wanted to come on board, since she kinda already was anyway. I’m happy to say that she did!

Sudipta has authored over thirty books for children. Plus, she has a background in science, adding a wealth of knowledge to this blogger base! She is an amazingly smart, funny, and resourceful person. I feel lucky to have her input here.

We’ve had a couple of brainstorming sessions over the past few weeks and I think you’re going to like some of the future additions we have planned. For now, you can count on the same schedule with interviews every other Monday and Quoteable Nerdy Chicks featured on Fridays.  Soon, there will be more!

Sudipta’s latest book, Pirate Princess, features savvy princess Bea, who doesn’t let tradition keep her from pursuing her dream of becoming a pirate.!
