In just two days, my third novel will hit the shelves. A House Without Windows is my latest story, a tale of a woman accused of murdering her husband in Afghanistan. When cast into prison, she meets Mezhgan, Latifa and Nafisa - women imprisoned for falling in or out of love. Will black magic or a flawed justice system be able to save Zeba? And why is it that Zeba doesn't seem to want to be saved?

I'm excited about this book because I'm introducing readers to more resilientA House Without Windows Afghan women. These are fictional characters but they're inspired by a harrowing reality. I can't wait for readers to meet these women.

And I can't wait to meet readers! In just 9 days, I'll be heading off to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa for what promises to be an amazing tour. (I've really got to get a Flat Stanley.) If you call any of those places home, please check out my events on my Facebook page.

I write the stories but it's readers who make it worthwhile. Thanks to all of you who have written to me. So many read with such compassion, with such grace, that I am motivated to stay up past my bedtime and keep writing. Thank for you for feeling inspired by Shekiba, for cheering Rahima on, and for feeling compassion towards Fereiba.

Happy summer/winter reading to you all!
