Crimson Cloak Publishing Author – Ayesha Marfani

1)      Do you write books as a career, or are you currently still juggling your author time with a full or part time job?

I write just for the pleasure of writing. To me it is not a career not a part time job. It is just my passion.

2)      Have you always wanted to be an author, or did some time or event in your life set you on the path?

No, I never dreamt of becoming an author nor did I ever think of it. I was in deep pain at the time I started writing and was struggling with life. Pain gave words to the inside stories and this phase of transformation made me an author.

3)      Do you always write in the same genre, or do you sometimes like a change of theme? If you haven’t already, is there another genre you would like to write?

I write in different genres; picture book, fantasy, science fiction and non-fiction. I also want to try my hand at thrillers.

4)      As a writer, what is the best thing that has happened to you, and what is that most exciting thing that could happen to you?

The best thing that happened to me are the comments I receive from my devoted readers. Some say I am a Muslimah version of Enid Blyton and some say I write about good virtues that are so rare. I want to be the second Roald Dahl of children’s literature.

5)      How do you view the promotion, book signings etc. Is it something you enjoy, or do you prefer the writing stage?

Honestly I hate promotion. It is as tiring as the writing part is refreshing. Book signings ring good to me, yet I haven’t done one yet.

6)      Could you tell us something about your published book(s), and let us know what they are about and where they are available?

Synopsis:

Twins from Exhortation Valley:

Some people wish to have everything in life, and this is what Sara wanted – just everything in life. Some people always envy what others have. They see themselves in the reflection of other people.  Saira envied what her twin had and ignored her blessings. Fate took the twins to Exhortation Valley to make them realize what happens when we get everything in life and lose the blessings that we already have.

A Peculiar and Rackety child:

Abdul Jalil is a boy eager to try out different things. He sets out to experience everything. Things go well until he deviates from his mission in life and he ends up in a mess. Trying to find a way out, at last he finds that in life ‘being human is being everything.’

An amazing family’s holiday adventure:

This family arranges a holiday game with a difference.  Stepping into the shoes of their parents, the children’s role-playing game opens their eyes to the difficulties of being a parent.

‘In the light of Seerah’ will soon be released by Fehm-e-deen.

‘I am full truth, I am half truth, I am all lie’ will be released by Crimson Cloak Publishing.
