Current Projects
Want a sneak peek of what I'm working on?
THE LUSTROUS DARK:
A YA fantasy retelling of a Moroccan folktale that combines the lush world of This Woven Kingdom with the mother trauma of Snow White and a dash of Tim Burton (think seven ghouls).
Status: News coming soon!
THE HAUNTING OF AISHA DEEN:
The Exorcist x The Omen but make it YA and Muslim
What if the little girl you were babysitting was possessed by a jinn? What if the only person who believed you was the son of the man who brought your family to ruin? Nehal must work with her nemesis, Driss, to save the soul of his cousin Aisha by breaking the link that has connected the child to the jinn world through a mysterious toy from overseas.
Status: WIP
