Muslim Canadian author of mysteries and thrillers. #Toronto Thrillers by Jayne Green. Rat City, The #Sufi Mysteries Quartet and its spin-off, Ghazi Ammar (2025), by Laury Silvers. Fan of the IJC/ICC. Keeping my handles, but I'm not here
DISGRACED: A TORONTO THRILLER IS STILL FREE UNTIL TOMORROW. I got a review that made me think the guy was high. I tried to write a trashy leftist novel and did not make it. Maybe this year is about believing in myself as a writer?

I would read that particular title, but now am sad that I forgot to put girl in the title of my thriller. Sigh. But it's downloadable for free tomorrow. There are women in it.

I did it. It's free. Happy New Year. Starting 12/31 to 1/2, free download of Disgraced a Toronto Thriller by my alter-ego Jayne Green. Everyone loves it who reads it except for that one right-wing weirdo, so that's okay. I'm dour, but the book is vibrantly hopeful despite being Baby Reindeer weird.

I'm open to this conversation. I got thumbs up after passing it by a lot of people. I've got real compliments from it, even from bookstores. It's based on Ellroy's. Just to say, I vetted the cover thoroughly. What about it strikes you as a problem? I'm open to changing it, if that works.

I was in the US and brought back Kerrygold butter to Canada (where we cannot get it because we, correctly, protect our small dairy farmers). It does make superior cookies per Twitter drama. I'll do a taste test with grass-fed local butter next which has a similar fat content.

Art has a place. Maybe especially leftist trash thrillers. If you liked Baby Reindeer. You liked Lovecraft Country. You want to be entertained without losing your soul and maybe gaining something. Or you just want distraction that is the opposite of doom scrolling. Disgraced: A Toronto Thriller.

We're not giving up. Art has a place. Even leftist trash thrillers. When Nick Barnes sets out to destroy the payday lending company that ruined his mother's life, he sets in motion a high-stakes journey of self-discovery for those who received the data -- and all those in their orbit.

I'm relieved my novels sell regularly without my active promotion, they do that on word of mouth, readers telling other readers -- and privately, because I hear about it personally but don't leave reviews -- but I'll leave you with a notice here, just in case you haven't run into a reader.

I'm so grateful for Daly Thompson's book on Queer Muslim communities in N.A. She tells the story of the mosque I co-founded (as a cis-het ally), our hopes, ideals, struggles, and realities. And gives the history of unsung heroes like
Nakia Jackson who deserves all the songs!

It didn’t feel like 433 pages when I wrote it. The Peace. The final book of Zaytuna and Tein’s story, The Sufi Mysteries Quartet. This mystery centred on 10th c. Quran scholars and the debates over variations in the reading traditions. Out as soon as I finish these proofs. The first three await you!

For you!

Chrome and Safari. It seems to be limited to my account? Did you pin it and find it works from your feed menu?

Sorry for not replying earlier. I have a standing event I go to every Saturday and just got up. I'm on an iPhone and Mac. It's also happening on the Mac. Here's a screenshot from this morning same on the phone. My guess is that these things will be sorted, but maybe I need to tell the developers?
