• Editorial Review: The Looking-Glass Voyage: Memoirs of a Pakistani Surgeon by Tariq Khan

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KC3RF1B/Editorial Review: The Looking-Glass Voyage: Memoirs of a Pakistani Surgeon by Tariq KhanThe Looking-Glass Voyage: Memoirs of a Pakistani Surgeon by Tariq Khan is not just a book; it's a journey through history, seen through the eyes of someone who's lived it. Tariq Khan, a Pukhtoon from Peshawar, Pakistan, doesn't just tell his story; he takes us back to the turbulent 1950s and 60s in Pakistan, making us feel like we're right there with him.What's really cool about this book is how Khan blends his personal life with historical events. You get these amazing tales from his family and school years that don't just show you what life was like back then, but also reveal Khan as this super ambitious student who's all about his family and his dreams.The book also dives into Khan's journey through medical school and how he set up his practice. And it's not just about Pakistan; Khan's experiences take us to different places like Saudi Arabia, England, and the UAE. It's like getting a cultural tour alongside his personal story.Now, you might think a memoir about a surgeon would be all about operations and hospitals, but Khan spices it up. He's got stories of youthful adventures, a romantic fling, and even an arranged marriage. It's a mix that educates you but also keeps you hooked.Khan's way of telling his story is something else. He puts it like this: "I was witness to great events in the history of the world in real-time: the dismemberment of my country of birth, and the formation of Bangladesh, in 1971; experiencing Iran in the heady days, at the peak years of the Shah of Iran ...". This isn't just a memoir; it's a front-row seat to history.All in all, The Looking-Glass Voyage is a must-read. It's not just for history buffs or medical enthusiasts; it's for anyone who loves a good story. Khan's life is a tapestry of personal, historical, and cultural threads that he weaves together into a narrative that's both educational and entertaining. It's a book that connects the past with the present and makes history feel like your own story.Best-selling author Lisa Jo Symonds wrote,“Wow! Bravo! The Looking-Glass Voyage is brilliant! What a work the author has accomplished, narrated so beautifully that I lived the author’s life through his eyes as I read along.So much knowledge of the history of all places in his travels in and around Pakistan, then to Canadian soil where he has planted his loyal roots. Tariq Khan’s level of talent is usually reserved for more seasoned, fine-tuned authors, reading this book, the reader could never guess this was his first published work! Such an interesting life he has had, this could make a great film!And wow, the epilogue! Yes! Quantum physics, exactly! We began as a particle and shall end as a particle… empty space!I strongly recommend this great read, and I will be watching for any future books by Tariq Khan, I am officially a fan!” Readmore

  • Another Sunset: An Epic of War and Love (Author Interview)

     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQYS48M3/What inspired you to write Another Sunset: An Epic of War and Love?This is actually a good one. On a random evening of April 2023, I was at the Bar du Champagne in Amsterdam, the city where I live. I was with three girls that I know, and one of them had recently written and published her first book. Nonchalantly, after a couple of glasses of champagne wine I asked her how many copies she had sold. She said 10k, and that blew me away. She’s brilliant, but I didn’t know it was possible to sell so many copies. Then she told me she self-published it, and that’s when I had my first aha moment. After more glasses of champagne and having accompanied her safely home, I started thinking about her achievement. And then my second aha moment: if she has done that, I can do that as well. The day after I made my decision. I was going to become a writer.How did your family history influence the characters and story in Another Sunset?Other great question. The characters of Giulio and Alice are partially inspired by my grandfather and my grandmother from my mother’s side, who also met in Siena, fell in love, were separated by the war, and eventually ended up like Giulio and Alice. Not spoiling the ending of the book here, but my grandparents really experienced something slightly similar to what I describe in my book. Their story is just one of the many stories about World War II that still needed to be told.Can you share your experience in blending fictional characters with real historical figures in the book?The core of Another Sunset, is that the stories starred by my fictional characters haven’t happened, but could have happened, because they’re all realistic. And I’m sure that similar people who really existed have interacted with historical figures like the reader will see in my book. For example, the bromance between Filippo and the German ace Marseille (who really existed) is just a story of boys’ friendship like we’re all familiar with. Funny fact – the crazy weekend of Filippo and Marseille with parties and girls is fictional, but the way less likely bravado of Marseille in Rome is actually a real and documented fact! I also wanted to show the human side of historical characters. For examples, the German General Rommel at some point will show his feelings, and face his fate as a man who’s willing to love and to protect his family until the bitter end.What challenges did you face while writing about a sensitive period like World War II?World War II is one of my favorite topics, and I love talking and writing about it. But the book is for my readers and it’s meant to be interesting, compelling and entertaining, so I had to carefully balance historical remarks, technical details, references and roles of historical characters to make it credible and enjoyable. To your question about sensitivity, I’ve focused on humans, and the ways they react to the war, depicted as a monstrosity o... Readmore

The book is skillfully crafted to answer those profound life questions that often leave us searching for answers.One of the most striking aspects of Krishna's Call is its practical approach. It's not merely a philosophical treatise; it offers tangible, actionable advice. This aspect of the book is especially refreshing, as it transforms the often abstract wisdom of the Gita into a concrete guide for daily living. Whether you're seeking spiritual growth or practical guidance, this book offers valuable insights.Krishna's Call is a transformative read. It successfully adapts ancient wisdom for the 21st century, providing clarity and inspiration for anyone looking to enrich their life's journey. It's a commendable blend of spiritual depth and practical wisdom, making it a must-read for those seeking to navigate life's complexities with a more enlightened perspective.  Readmore

Undercover Amish (Covert Police Detectives Unit Series Book 1)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L6JE49G      


"The bestselling novel Undercover Amish is free with Kindle Unlimited and is available to borrow in Prime Reading"

In this Amish #1 Bestseller, Detective Olivia Mast would rather run through gunfire than return to her former Amish community in Unity, Maine, where she killed her abusive husband in self-defense and witnessed her family’s murder.


She soon finds out that there are even more dark secrets in Unity than the ones from her own past, just waiting to be unearthed from the farm soil. 
After an Amish man is murdered, the community will not pursue justice or answer questions from the police, so she begrudgingly dons her old prayer kapp and heads to Unity to investigate the murder undercover.
To make things even worse, her captain also orders her to protect the man she dated as a teen: Isaac Troyer, who was attacked on the night of the murder but cannot remember the incident. 
The handsome and quirky cabinet maker begins to fall for her once again, unaware that she carries a 9mm under her skirt as she must fake her way into rejoining the Amish community to gain the people’s trust.

After another murder, some deadly pranks, and a kidnapping, Olivia realizes she needs Isaac's help most of all because of his personal ties to the suspect. 
When Isaac asks Olivia if he can court her, her captain orders her to pretend to love him, to make her cover more believable. Even though Olivia lies to Isaac about a lot of things, she doesn’t have to fake her reigniting feelings for him. Especially when he smiles that crooked smile or tenderly holds her hand.
When Olivia tells Isaac she is a detective, will he be willing to break Amish rules to help her arrest the killer? Or will he be unable to forgive her for lying to the community about wanting to be Amish again…and for lying to him?
Olivia values one important rule over all others: never let emotions, especially love, get in the way of the job. But as the body count rises and she starts falling for Isaac again, she might just end up breaking her own rule.

A twig snapped in the woods somewhere in the distance. Olivia whipped around, clamping a hand on the leg holster that was beneath her skirt.
“I’m watching you, Olivia.” The scratchy, deep masculine voice rode on the breeze from somewhere in the trees that no longer seemed so far from her. Her blood froze, a sick feeling churning in her gut. “You still mourn the ones who died here, don’t you? You miss your family.”
She stood on the other side of her vehicle, using it as protection as she carefully drew her M&P Shield. Her throat closed up. She wanted to shout angry words, but fear stole her voice.
How did he know about the fire? 
“If you go, I won’t harm you. You should leave now while you still have the chance.” 
“There’s no way I’m leaving,” she yelled.
“Get in your little beat up car and drive home. Or more accidents will happen.”
“It’s going to take a lot more than a few threats to scare me.” She stood up straighter and allowed her voice to carry over the field.
“You’ll see that I’m not bluffing, dear.”
