With Hera officially a part of Penguin Random House, it was wonderful to find my books on the Penguin website 😀

P.S. my charges are VERY reasonable

Beautiful memories from the book launch of SOMEONE LIKE HER in London. I think this is my favourite book launch of all time 🤩

Have you read this book yet?

The heat/humidity in Lahore is so intense that this morning I took the air conditioner remote out with me instead of my cell phone 😂

Naturally had to double back once I realized my mistake!

It really is a cruel summer (Taylor Swift fans will be able to relate to this line 😆)

It seems like I've got plenty of American followers on this app. You guys are in luck. For the first time, my novel SOMEONE LIKE HER is for 99 cents. You heard it right. Less than a dollar!

Experience Pakistan like never before! Don't know how long the offer lasts!

1000 reviews for my novel NO HONOUR. Absolutely delighted. Thank you for all the love you've shown to Abida and Jamil!

NO HONOUR is undoubtedly by biggest success.

Have been feeling a bit low lately, so today I tried on a shirt I bought 13 years ago in Dubai.

It still fits perfectly! That cheered me up 🥹

Just got a huge burst of followers from the States. Thank you, guys! If you want to see Pakistan like you've never seen it before, do check out my books! At the very least, they'll be eye-opening 🤩

One of my rare smiles 😃

A reader loved all 4 of my books so much that she went and bought copies for her sister immediately. It's amazing how such a small thing can make one's day 🥹

As a Pakistani author, I work extra hard to get noticed, so any support is greatly appreciated

This is one of my favourite books. If you liked Khalid Hosseins 'A thousand splendid suns' you will love 'No honour' by @awaiskhan.bsky.social
It's heartbreaking that these things still go on unchecked in Pakistan. This is exactly why I wrote NO HONOUR, in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, things will get better 😢

Happy #WorldBookDay
On this day, why not take a chance on a Pakistani author, especially one that writes fiction with a social issue at its heart.

It's my Birthday today 🎂
Feels bittersweet in a way, but if there's one thing I'd ask for today, it's support and exposure. Sitting in Pakistan, it is SO hard and exhausting to stay relevant. Life also gets in the way. But still, we must carry on! My books are here👇🏼

Some more wonderful reviews for #TheCure.
I know how hard it is for authors to fit in proof requests whilst balancing their own writing, work & family commitments, so a heartfelt thanks to Awais, Trevor, Julie & Russ for your support.
Always appreciated, never taken for granted.
Seven weeks to go!

Yesterday, IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE was officially launched in Lahore! My first ever book launch in Pakistan and what an incredible turnout.

Goes on to show that books CAN work in Pakistan too. Have you bought a copy of IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE yet?

Awais is great - snap this one up! #BookSky 💙📚
SOMEHOW, this book is still for 99p 🤯. Also, if you're a fan of series, there's a sequel out too. Dive into the glittering and secretive lives of Pakistan's elite today! A good Valentine's Day read 😅
