My projects

OK ... things are tense beyond imagination here right now ... so I have no idea how much I will be posting in the days and weeks ahead. Hopefully, frequently, and, hopefully, my posts will have little excitement in them!

But we shall see!

Anyway, besides my own observations from what has become a front-row seat at the Revolution, I am trying to publish on this blog samples of three actual one-day-to-be-in-print-(I-hope) books:

"A Thousand Sighs and a Sigh", my autobiographical novel of growing up ...

a volume of poetry ...

and a book on Syrian history designed for the visitor, organized thematically around assorted places ...

well, I may end up unable to finish any of these so, while I still can, I'm trying to get things in order ...

Amina, you and your family are an example to the world. Let me know if you'd like to voice your views on a live programme in London. e-mail me: julie.rosu@gmail.com and I'll tell you more about it in a private message. thanks and stay safe!

Amina, my heart aches and is also so inspired by your stories here. My passion is editing and publishing the works of authors whose voices and integrity inspire us all. Your father's impassioned defense of you brought me to tears, especially because I doubt my parents could manage the same in such a situation. If you would like to bounce ideas and publishing possibilities around (sans commitment to any particular path) please email me at anne.l.connolly at gmail.com. peace to you and syria.

I've read all your installments of your autobiography in the last two days (as well as going to work). I dont know how many book pages they would translate to, but I feel like it would be a lot. I absolutely loved it! I really hope you continue with this project, and not only because of my desire to finish reading it!

You seem like an incredibly brave woman. I wish you all the best!
