There is No Me, There is Only You

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

Honestly, this work has been the most physically and emotionally difficult, and the most spiritually challenging of any I’ve ever done. It wasn’t so hard with my first. One is tiring. Two is crazy-making. At... Read more

ER Love Stories

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

I have countless stories ranging from walking into family arguments to calling parents to inform them their drunk underage teen needs to be picked up. With all the drama involved with being an ER nurse, sometimes I get the pleasure of hearing peoples life stories. Stories are part of the human connection. Many people like to share their life stories and... Read more

Girls Like It, Too

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

Call me crazy, but girls love sex too. (Yes I know, a shocker right?) Want to hear the crazy truth? Muslim girls love sex as much as their males counterparts. In fact, they are as hormonal as men. They desire sex, passion, hot love-making, PDA and fetishes as well. The most shocking aspect of this is that some Muslim women have slept with men before marriage. You heard me right. Men. Not a man, but men. It is a... Read more

The things you learn when writing your first novel: Novel-writing is a lonely process. Your first novel relies heavily on a blend of things you’ve actually experienced, people you’ve actually known, and your wild imagination.
