Your MC is here for the evening.

“Please keep your eyes on the road. A brown person ahead. Would you like to notify ICE?”

My mama didn’t raise a quitter. She raised an anxiety-ridden dysfunctional child with unreasonable expectations of himself but at least not a quitter.

I’m so glad this was one of the books I picked up at the recent @writersfest.bc.ca fundraiser book sale. Thank you @dannyramadan.com for trusting us with your extraordinary story: excellent writing and I really liked the structure too.

Capitalism is when you know in your heart that if we pay for oxygen, oil companies would rebuild the forests and create artificial woods in the middle of the ocean. As long as we pay extra for O2+ or whatever.

Great review and all but did it have to end with the mandatory YASSS QUEEN?

The Green Suit by Cohen Ewart and The Miraculous Return of Khalid from the Dead by Danny Ramadan are really wonderful stories. 📚

Being a working author is not only about your art (while that’s the most important skill). It’s also about the million other skills you have on the side.

When you say “I just want my book out there” what exactly are you saying? Do you want it published? Sure! That’s actually more doable than you think. Do you want to be an author for your career? Now, that means writing gigs, columns, social media relevance, teaching gigs, school visits, etc.

Thank you so much. Honoured that you like it.

It’s not often a book captures me to the extreme that I can’t put it down until I’ve devoured every word. Yet @dannyramadan.com does just that in this heartbreaking story of forbidden love. My book of the year!
