August 2025 Recap: 5 books releases + interviews, reviews, mentions and podcasts!
If I had the ability to go back in time and talk to my younger self who started blogging 20 years ago, and tell him that one day he will be releasing 5 books in a single month, I know that he wouldn’t believe me.
Gosh, what would happen after 20 years?! wish my future self can tell me!
It has been a wild year for my writing career, but the month of August was the wildest, with everything falling into place; launching my third book in the eternal youth trilogy in Arabic – Farah Ala Al Ard, releasing The Man of Middling Height – my most anticipated english translation by Syracuse University Press, and publishing back in print my first 3 titles in English (The Bride of Amman, Heaven on Earth, and LAILA) by American publisher Rebel Satori Press!
Of course, each book brings attention to my whole body of work and media opportunities. Here is a recap for the main one happened this month:
