OK, I’ve had people review the book (so far so good), and now I am desperately trying to find an agent (or at least a contact of some sort in the publishing industry)! I intended this book for the mainstream American audience, but guess what - it seems lots of Muslims need this book too. It’s confusing for many nowadays with the issues on faith, allegiance, secularism, state obedience, loyalty, brotherhood, etc. I’m also revising bits due to my sister Aisha, who told me that I write like Gabriel Garcia Marquez lol - the guy who writes sentences a page long (literally).

Anyway, a sister told me that she worked for some think tank and they had a million applicants but they just ended up going with “a friend of a friend” - you know, the whole networking thing I’ve always heard about. Seeing as how I haven’t heard back from agents (at the unknown entry level) except for a few who said NO, I freaked out and was like yah I need to contact all my old professors (I’m a total dropout though) and anyone else in the media I know, etc. (I admit, I’m impatient - it’s been like a few weeks) - but I don’t know, every time I think about it I get a headache lol - plus some people are like can we use parts of the book and I’ve passed it on to so many already - I feel like paranoid or something - that by the time it’s out someone will just use the title (it CAN’T be called anything else!) or something similar etc. So any one of you, please, I suck at networking - I have enough contacts, but I’m too antisocial frankly to be really good at it - if you have any leads let me know! Thanks!

I just finished a book called “Islam is a Religion” because I got tired of answering the question, “Aren’t you hot?” Watch for it - I’m going to try to publish it through the biggest companies possible and then progressively go down as I find no one will publish it! If all else fails, we might put it out through IN Production. But it may just end up here lol. Maybe it’s just as well. One part of it (which will probably get the most attention even though it’s not one of the major points of the book) might even get me arrested.
