I’ve Got a Secret (Well, Not Anymore): My Books Are Now on iBooks!
I still remember the first time I held a story I’d written in my hands. It felt like magic. Today, I get to feel that magic all over again, because I’m thrilled to announce that my books have arrived in the Apple Books store! Whether you’re curled up on the couch with an iPad, sneaking a chapter on your iPhone during lunch, or diving in on your Mac, you can now carry my stories with you anywhere.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
Dead Heart Longing
Genre: Fantasy/romance
If you enjoy romantasy and stories revolving around myths and legends, you will love this book.
Blurb:
Enter a reality where the living and the dead coexist.
Gesar, who was once a mighty king, now roams an ancient Tibetan castle as a ghost. His heart, as cold as the snow-covered mountain tops and consumed with bitterness, melts when he meets Nur. She is a woman like a warm summer breeze drawn to history and untold pasts. And their love will defy time and stretch beyond the human lifespan.
Yet, the shadows of forgotten conflicts threaten to extinguish the spark of their fragile relationship. As their fates collide, Gesar’s long-dead heart stirs with an unfamiliar warmth, and Nur faces an impossible choice. Should she save the cursed soul she’s grown to love or condemn him to eternal solitude?
Fairytales with a Twist 1-3
Genre: Fantasy/fairytale retelling
This series is very special to me. These are the stories I wanted to read, and since no one else was writing them, I wrote them myself. The three retellings of the fairytales we grew up reading are for readers who love unpredictable twists and familiar characters.
In this bundle of three stories, you will find:
Somewhere in Time: a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.
The Mirror: Snow White’s story retold.
Through Time: a fantastical retelling of Rapunzel.
Which one will be your favorite?
Untouched Petals of Our Hearts
Genre: Poetry
Sometimes, words are all we have. And in our deepest moments, they are never enough.
This collection lives in that sacred, aching space between solace, sorrow, and beautifully complex moments of life. These poems are at once heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Here, you will find verses that cradle heartache and kindle joy, often within the same line. These poems are perfect for anyone who has ever sought refuge in language. Let them be a gentle companion, offering not answers, but understanding; not a cure, but a balm of love and hope, one verse at a time.
Danger Dead Ahead
Genre: Cozy mystery/murder mystery
About the Story:
Even the known roads we take can bring us to unexpected turns that alter the course of our lives. When Jahan Fatima decides to give up her job to travel the treacherous mountains of Northern Pakistan, she doesn’t expect it to involve murder and mayhem. Soon, her quest for justice will lead her down a perilous path where myths and legends come alive.
Sometimes, familiar trips down memory lane can take you to places you’ve never explored, and that can change your perception of reality. When Maalik returns to Chitral, he doesn’t plan on reopening the old wounds. Yet, some events are so painful that no amount of time can erase the agony. Soon, his curiosity will take him down a dangerous road where his past comes back to haunt him.
Together, Jahan and Maalik make an unlikely pair of sleuths. Yet, they might be the only ones interested in uncovering the truth behind the gruesome death of a mutual friend.
The Life I’ve Lived
Genre: Short story/fiction
I wrote it during a life-changing moment, and it holds a very special piece of my heart. It asks those difficult questions about belonging and reality, which we are often too scared to ask ourselves.
Worlds in Words: Stories Collection Bundle 1-4
Genre: Short story/fiction
Stories that stay with you long after you have closed the book…
Some stories are dark while others are lighthearted. Sometimes, they’re challenging and at other times, accepting. Words that made you question your perception of life and look within yourself to find the meaning you have longed for. With diverse and relatable characters, each story is unique.
Divided by theme, the four short story collections in the bundle include:
Book 1: Soul Seeks the Truth
Book 2: When Love Fails
Book 3: Monsters & Mysteries
Book 4: Dear Earth with Love: & Other Stories
Get the book bundle on Apple Store!
More books to come…
Thank you for being part of my little corner of the internet. Whether you’ve been here for years or just stumbled onto this post, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to spend your time with my words. Here’s to many more stories and many more reading adventures.
Happy reading!
