Thank you, dear readers

Thank you to all those who came in large numbers to attend my two book readings this past week at Barnes and Noble and Book Woman. I enjoyed the discussions that followed and was humbled by your presence. You are the reason we authors become prolific writers. Please keep up the support.

In the coming weeks, I aim to introduce a 5-Question Author Interview series to offer you a quick glance into the works of some multicultural authors. If you have a favorite author you would like to see featured on this blog, please drop me a line.

Blog Tour Stop 21: Another day of reviews

by

I celebrate the last day of my book tour with two reviews of Saffron Dreams that have arrived in the past few days. 2 Kids and Tired book blog offered this review of the novel.

“Fascinating. A fictionalized story, written as a memoir. Arissa’s story is told first-person through flashbacks and present day. A beautifully descriptive novel: full of color and flavor. A fascinating tale of love and loss, tragedy and triumph, and following your dreams even when they take you on an unexpected journey.”

Another one is from the Review From Here book blog:

“I had a hard time putting this book down. Shaila Abdullah’s “Saffron Dreams” is a book that will tug at your heartstrings and won’t let go. This is one of the most poignant books that I have read.”

And now a word of thanks to all the individuals who followed me on this month-long tour and provided comments, feedback, tips, and messages. It is because of all of you that time and again, I feel compelled to pick up my pen and do what I do. I am deeply grateful to the wonderful network of book bloggers who hosted me on their blogs this month. You are doing a great service to authors. Please keep it up.
