About Me

My photo
I am passionate about the written language. I love writing, reading, reviewing, selling and promoting books. I am an independent bookseller with over 20 years of experience in the book trade. Together with my partners, I actively aim to improve our bookstore's range and services to better reflect the needs of our community and clientele. In 2008, my memoir 'Under A Starless Sky' was published by Hachette, Australia. Since then, I had a short story 'Jasmine Petals' published in 'Stories of Belonging' (Finch) and in 2013, released my first full-length novel, The Russian Tapestry, also by Hachette. I am currently writing my second novel. I strive daily to improve my skills and stretch the limits of my craft. My love of books has naturally lead to reviewing.

Launch of 'The Perfect Flower Girl' at Your Bookshop - Bankstown

On Saturday 23rd of June, Your Bookshop - Bankstown hosted the launch of 'The Perfect Flower Girl'. A colourfully vibrant and engaging picture book, The Perfect Flower Girl is the first Australian picture book to embrace the Islamic culture and rich heritage. 
During the morning there were balloons, colouring-ins and even a Henna artist to amuse and entertain the kids.
Author Taghred Chandab and Illustrator Binny Talib were on hand to sign copies of their book. Taghred had even organised a cake!! 
Below are some of the snaps taken by our roving photographer
