about: My grandmother began my obsession with reading when I was four, and I won an essay contest in second grade that included a trip to Knott's Berry Farm (I got duped--it was only to see the Fake Liberty Bell). I write young adult fiction featuring Iranian American heroines (whom I *never* encountered growing up), who make messy, complicated choices that rapidly snowball into avalanches. My debut novel JASMINE ZUMIDEH NEEDS A WIN is releasing on 11.1.22 from Wednesday Books.
