Tell us about yourself.:
A middle child in a middle class family, grew up to become a workaholic Marketing Consultant, the best friend of my own laptop, and a highly social extrovert in a previous life.
I write about business, politics, philosophy, human behavior, and a few other relevant/irrelevant fields.
One’s imagination can only be based on one’s reality, so as a bachelor from Egypt, I published my first Amazon book/novel about "The Bachelors of Egypt".
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
In Giza, Egypt (the city of the pyramids), during my childhood, teenage period and even now I’ve been in touch with people with various cultural backgrounds and who belong to multiple social classes… growing up in the age of the internet allowed me to build friendships worldwide and gain a sense of the elements that connect us all to each other as human beings.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I like to keep it simple, I listen to music and drink a huge amount of coffee.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Do what you love the most in the way you’ll enjoy it the most.
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
It’s not precisely an advice, but my father’s favorite question to those close to him was "how’s your mood?", after he passed away I realized the depth of the question, you may expect a variety of contradictory thoughts and actions coming from the same person depending on their mood at the moment.
What are you reading now?
Bad Science and Thinking, Fast and Slow.
What’s your biggest weakness?
Cigarettes.
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Dialogues of Plato
When you’re not writing, how do you like to spend your time?
I spend most of my time doing the work I love, otherwise, I enjoy reading a book while listening to music and drinking coffee, I like to talk to travel, talk to strangers and share stories, I walk, jog, swim, play football (soccer) with friends, hangout with them…
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
That’s difficult to remember.
What has inspired you and your writing style?
Having the ability to live as an extrovert at times and spend weeks alone at other times. I have the experience of socially active people, and the ability to enjoy solitude and in-depth reflections on what’s happening in the world and to me personally.
What are you working on now?
I have multiple books I’m currently working on, only one of them belongs to the fiction genre, I’m not sure which one I’ll finish and publish first.
What is your favorite method for promoting your work?
Blog articles, as my first title "The Bachelors of Egypt" is fictional, I decided to dig deeper into the issues discussed in the book through a serious of factual/opinionated blog articles.
What’s next for you as a writer?
The next step will be receiving an awesome review from you after reading one of my two books.
How well do you work under pressure?
Optimal, as long as I can handle the pressure.
How do you decide what tone to use with a particular piece of writing?
It depends on the target readers.
If you could share one thing with your fans, what would that be?
Since change is the constant in this world, I believe we should always be open to changing our opinions, attitudes, and even beliefs when presented with new information and/or insights.
