The Big Crowned Princess is Launched

By Leave a Comment

Today is independence day of Pakistan and the launch date of my first picture book “The Big Crowned Princess.”

My gift to Pakistan is the literature with Pakistani heroes and heroines. Today I have a lot to write but don’t know how to organize all this in a single post.

This is the link to my book. Pakistani libraries and readers can also place their orders to me.

I am also planning something very cool and giving you a peek into it.

I want to thanks all the influencers and people of my nation who extended their support and help. I couldn’t have made this far without you.

Also attaching the notes of influencers who gave me power and confidence.

Pakistan Zindabad!

A true story about a Fiction tale

By 1 Comment

I want to tell you a story.

Ahmad sat crosslegged gazing intently to the black outlines on the paper. A lot of stuff was spread all around him containing glittered sheets and toddler pants.

His mother lovingly sketched the outline of what looked like a princess.  His strong imagination tolerated all imperfection in the picture and he believed it was a princess despite its rough edges and disappointing drawing.

The weirdest thing was the crown that seemed very big yet it fascinated Ahmad and he decorated it with the material he found suitable.

After decorating the princess with the ordinary things that showed his love for the ordinary things, the paper laid there drying yet the author inside his mom attended to this unique character again and again and the voice told her that this is going to be the next character after “Miss Never Pleased”, “I am truth”, “Peeper” and the “Peeping boy.”

Together they named their creation “big crowned princess” and then they knew that the princess loved ordinary things. The picture became an inspiration and then she came up with a lot of ideas.  She transformed one of the ideas into a story.

Ahmad’s mom had a friend who lived miles away. Her name was Carrie Aulenbacher. Their love of writing brought them together. She shared her work as per her habit with the amazing writing friend who loved the story and the idea and sent the feedback as follows:

It brings tears to my eyes

This is a really powerful tale.  It would be a great story with an amazing lesson.  Don’t just judge a person based on how they look.  Don’t judge what they find precious.  Don’t judge where they see beauty.

Your story has moved me greatly.

Then this story reached Crimson Cloak Publishing USA. They also loved it and soon it was made into a beautiful picture book. Alison Wood did magic with her illustrating capabilities and now I am finally revealing the cover of the book that will be launched on 14th August.

By Leave a Comment

Tales from the Treasure Chest has completed 365 days in the market.  It has been a year of happenings for the book.

I remember my fears vividly. I can recall the hopes and aspirations I had. It has not been a smooth journey and success never comes easy.

I had my moments of high and low. I owe this success to many ‘humanly humans’ (those who help without anything in return) who supported me and made me believe in my stories.

I know my post will reach them and they will smile for they will know they were the ones who helped me. I thank them all. Here is the glimpse of the journey by ‘Tales from the Treasure Chest’ around the world in the 365 days.
