Some more wonderful reviews for #TheCure. I know how hard it is for authors to fit in proof requests whilst balancing their own writing, work & family commitments, so a heartfelt thanks to Awais, Trevor, Julie & Russ for your support. Always appreciated, never taken for granted. Seven weeks to go!

Yesterday, IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE was officially launched in Lahore! My first ever book launch in Pakistan and what an incredible turnout. Goes on to show that books CAN work in Pakistan too. Have you bought a copy of IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE yet?

SOMEHOW, this book is still for 99p 🤯. Also, if you're a fan of series, there's a sequel out too. Dive into the glittering and secretive lives of Pakistan's elite today! A good Valentine's Day read 😅 www.amazon.co.uk/Company-Stra...

TY @awaiskhan.bsky.social & FaberAcademy "...over 60 rejections from literary agents, 1 going so far as to ask me to just quit because writing wasn’t for me... Never give up!" The Power of Perseverance: faberacademy.com/awais-khan-a...

We sat down with Awais Khan, author of four novels and a graduate of Faber Academy’s Writing a Novel course, to discuss his journey to publication, literary influences and the importance of never giving up. 📚 @awaiskhan.bsky.social faberacademy.com/awais-khan-author-interview/

The only thing keeping me sane as I write this novel. 66k words in as of today. You all had better read this 😭 This book has taken a lot out of me, but thankfully, I'm on the home run now 🥵

Nothing quite like opening the Sunday paper and seeing a half page review of your novel! "I have been following Awais Khan’s remarkable literary journey, witnessing his evolution from a promising debut to a masterful storyteller." IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE is out now: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=awais+kh...

Signed all this stock of IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE today in Lahore! So glad that my latest novel has FINALLY arrived in my country. Good news for US readers as well. You can now buy this gorgeous paperback too: www.amazon.com/Shadows-Love... I'd love to be more widely read in the US someday 🥹

Throwback to when I didn't even let the harsh Middle Eastern sun keep me from reading 😆 As long as I have a good book, I don't even mind temperatures of 45°C

I'm 100 pages into writing my latest novel (my magnum opus) and absolutely hating myself 😆 I feel like I'm writing absolute garbage, but then I look at my four published novels and remind myself that I CAN and WILL do it again. Just need to keep the faith 🙏🏼

A lot of people have praised me for wearing shalwar kameez for my @forbes.com feature. To give credit where it's due, it was all Sonya Rehman's idea 🤩. Together, she and Saad Sarfraz (photography) have created a feature worth remembering! www.forbes.com/sites/sonyar...

Come rain or shine, an author always has to write 😅. A lot of people romanticise writing, and it can certainly be that, but for me, it's all about meeting deadlines, rooting around for ideas, and making sure I deliver pageturning books to my readers. What about you?
