Gabriel
McKnight, a decorated former U.S. Navy SEAL and bestselling author,
sees his perfect life come unraveled when he’s named the prime
suspect in a murder case after his twin brother vanishes without a
trace. Now on the run from the law, Gabriel embarks on a desperate
worldwide quest to clear his name and uncover his brother’s fate.
His
only ally is Noor Rahman, the scion of a once-powerful Iranian
dynasty whose past intertwines with a mysterious book of Rumi’s
poems left behind by her deceased parents. Together, Gabriel and Noor
decipher cryptic passages suggesting a link between the historic
murders of Noor’s family and his brother’s disappearance. From
the back alleys of Washington, D.C., to the bustling streets of
Paris, and the vibrant vistas of Tehran, they navigate a labyrinth of
danger and deception leading them inexorably to Rumi’s mystical
resting place in Turkey.
But
discovery comes with a perilous cost. With every revelation, Gabriel
and Noor inch that much closer to unlocking the sinister truth behind
their parallel destinies. Can they outwit their unseen foes and
decode the final mysteries before they themselves become the final
casualties in this deadly game?

I
was born to a diplomat and housewife in Tehran-Iran then whisked
across the globe to whatever country my parents had been assigned to.
Raised to appreciate various cultures, landscapes, languages, and
viewpoints, my life was one grand adventure until a revolution took
place in my country and turned our lives upside down. Between then
and the age of eighteen I had experienced both the joy, freedom, and
magic our world offers as well as wars, deprivation, and oppression.
My undergraduate studies were in the Middle East and my post graduate
studies were at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France.
So,
when did I become a writer? Books had always been my greatest
friends, teachers, refuge, and the inspiration to forge my own
future. In college I realized I wanted to write engaging mysteries
and thrillers. At the same time, I wanted to give readers more than a
story. I wanted to share the rich beauty of Persian literature as
well as that of other cultures. For that I embarked on a
twenty-two-year journey, traveling to various countries, and
experiencing life while establishing a successful career. Gabriel
McKnight and his first story had been on my mind for several years
yet it wasn’t until my mid-forties that I picked up the proverbial
pen. The time had come to share my stories.
The
next step was making my dream come true. I queried several agents and
one glorious day in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic my wonderful
literary agent reached out to me with an offer for representation.
She took my story to publishers and before I knew it, we had a
publishing contract –and here we are.
Today,
I live in Oklahoma City, USA with my family and two dogs. If there’s
one thing I’ve learned, it’s the power of words. Words can heal,
teach, entertain, inspire, and evoke change. I hope you enjoy
Gabriel’s adventures as much as I enjoyed writing them.
