Personal Quote:

[Inspiration for Cairo Time] My parents, when I was sixteen, took the family and I on a visit to Cairo, and it was just... I found the city to be magical. It was just beautiful, it was ancient, it had so much history, it left a visual imprint on my brain, and I thought I had to set a story in this beautiful, beautiful city. See more »
