Usman Aman
Well, absolutely I do love Islam, as for with my love for Quran and Hadith has allowed me to love the Almighty and doing so, I feel sweetness in my heart and find overwhelming joy and happiness everywhere. And I live in harmony and love with the world and all creatures around me, all praising and glorifying Him. Out of my love for Allah’s creatures, I shudder to think of doing any harm to them. In response to my love, I can also feel their love for me.

(view spoiler)[A dark blot on humanity that is often ignored, or that we turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to, is human trafficking. Much of the developed world is either unaware or doesn’t want to think about the horrors of the evil that permeates society. Young people, mostly girls, but boys, too, are lured away from their poverty-stricken families by the promise of good jobs and enough money to send home to support their needy families. This promise is easily grasped at when a family has little or no income, many mouths to feed, and nothing but a shack to provide shelter from the elements. This story is a fictionalized account of a real event. All names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents depicted are the invention of the author or used in a fictitious manner, and have been changed to protect the innocent. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. The pageant really took place and the pageant’s contract was really broken. Lives were in danger. However, many details have been fictionalized to facilitate the telling of the story. Anyone who was actually there may recognize himself or herself in the story. (hide spoiler)]

A beauty pageant that really took place and got the lives of many young men and women in danger gave me inspiration to pick the pen. The Pageant Trap was written at the suggestion of friends with the hope that it may prevent something like this from happening again. One fine morning I was reciting the Holy Quran and came across the story of Adam and Eve. Later the same day was watching a television series, based on a mythical creature and thus that became an inspiration for my new book that I am currently working on. I just focus on events or emotions throughout the day that surround me and observation of people without judgement, attempting to look into their past for character development. In today's world of technology, research and development, inspirations are abundant, at least for me.

It is a long lonely road. I've just begin the journey, come join me, let us explore it together, but just learn to protect your time and space in which you write. I did my best to keep everybody away from it, even the people who are most important to myself.
Usman Aman
I write fiction, I churn stories that are fiction but inspired from real events therefore for me it is the very right to let go of the real world and get lost in another one, the world that I accept or reject!
Usman Aman
For me changing my environment to do something and get the blood flow is very important. I go for a walk at a public park. It not only help me release my block but also help me weave stories creatively, by observing different people and families around me.
