Goodbye dear Mr. Kitkat

It is with a heavy heart that I share that our dear Mr. Kitkat has passed away.

For seven years, he was my quietest co-author, constant companion, and the finest editor I could have asked for. He was a striking presence—sleek black coat with brilliant, gold eyes that seemed to hold a thousand untold stories.

To everyone who knows how much our pets weave themselves into the fabric of our writing lives and daily routines, you know the depth of this silence. Thank you, Mr. Kitkat, for seven years of warmth, shadow, and light. You will be deeply missed. 🖤✨ by @azkhanbooks

Thrilled to have a story in this wonderful new anthology put together with so much skill and compassion by @nafizaaz and @booksbyintisar!

These interlocking tales of #refugees seeking a place of safety in a world filled with magic and mystery are very close to my heart!

My story, "The Paradise that Never Was" focuses on escapees from Syria's notorious Sednaya prison, the obstacles they encounter on their journey and the friends they make along the way.

As always, wishing peace and justice to the people of #Syria, #Palestine, #Sudan, #Yemen and all those who have had to leave their homes and homelands behind.

Please check out this collection by amazing Muslim women writers! by @azkhanbooks

The Hashemi family band performs one of Nader's favorite songs, Viva La Vida. We love these amazing, talented kids so much. They made tiramisu, they rehearsed songs, and they put together a hilarious collection of Nader's famous sayings like, "Is this how we're going to 'liberate Jerusalem?' (Said whenever anyone is being deeply unserious or having too much fun, lol.)

Naseem, Ameer, Amin, thank you so much for spoiling your Daie Nader. 💖💖💖 by @azkhanbooks
