About The Author

My mum grew up in a small village in the Punjab of Pakistan. The type of village that was so small it didn’t have a name, just a number for identification. The tragedy of it was that my grandfather was a teacher, but because of complicated family circumstances she didn’t go to school. Although she has never received a formal education, my mum is the most intelligent woman I know.

Even now my mum can’t read English, but she’s the biggest supporter of my writing. Due to her life experiences, she pushed me towards education, and although I have a Masters, when it comes to writing I’m mostly self-taught. I’ve attended some insightful courses run by CBC and The Writing Institute. I’ve also delved into the world of screenwriting. I have to say that I’ve fallen head-over-heels with it and I’ve started the process of adapting The House With The Orange Gates into a screenplay.

Recently, I have completed editing my novel with award winning author Awais Khan, which has been the most eye-opening process. At the moment, I’m in the process of submitting to agents, whilst working on my second novel. If my writing is of interest, please feel free to get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
