Here it is, ladies and gentlemen! In the flesh! I’m so thrilled to see my book in my Sydney family home. So exciting!
It’s been one incredible journey, and I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported me through it: my amazing family, my awesome friends, near and far, and my publisher, MyLegacy Publications, for bringing my story into print. Alhamdulilah, it’s wonderful to see my dream of being a published author come true. Truly, Allah is Most Generous.
The number one question I’ve been hearing is: “How do I buy your book?” Good question. For now, I’m planning to sell copies of my book at my book launch in Sydney. I’m currently in KL, Malaysia, and plan to be in Sydney between March 23-April 6.
Stay tuned for updates on my Sydney book launch, and I hope to see you there!

Congratulations on a great book. Have to share how I came by a sample copy of your book in Silverfish Bookstore in KL and begged the lady in the shop to sell it to me. No regrets and have been telling all my friends about it in Singapore including some independent bookstores! Looking forward to your next book.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me 🙂 I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed my book. What a positive note to start 2015! I’m working on my new manuscript, and will keep you posted via my blog.
