Film Deal Announcement in Variety 😱: In the Company of Strangers is coming to a screen near you. Delighted to announce that rights have been bought by Kids Production company in the UK! Pinching myself!

If you haven't read the book, what are you waiting for?

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

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?

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!

Thank you for continuing to show so much love to Abida and Jamil.

Experience Pakistan like never before in this heart-wrenching tale of honour killings, love and family.

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 you read it yet?

Given the way things are in this world, I'm better off in Hogwarts 🥹😄

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 🥹

5000 followers here! Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for all the support, guys!

Hope you will check out my books too. If you're looking for compelling and gripping fiction set in Pakistan, look no further!

Here's my most popular novel. Currently for 99p:

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

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👇🏼

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?

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 😅

The only thing keeping me sane as I write this novel. 66k words in as of today. You all had better read this 😭

This book has taken a lot out of me, but thankfully, I'm on the home run now 🥵

Nothing quite like opening the Sunday paper and seeing a half page review of your novel!

Tired already...
Living in Pakistan is just exhausting at times

Signed all this stock of IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE today in Lahore! So glad that my latest novel has FINALLY arrived in my country.

Good news for US readers as well. You can now buy this gorgeous paperback too:

I'd love to be more widely read in the US someday 🥹

Throwback to when I didn't even let the harsh Middle Eastern sun keep me from reading 😆

As long as I have a good book, I don't even mind temperatures of 45°C

I'm 100 pages into writing my latest novel (my magnum opus) and absolutely hating myself 😆

I feel like I'm writing absolute garbage, but then I look at my four published novels and remind myself that I CAN and WILL do it again. Just need to keep the faith 🙏🏼
