About the Author

I WAS BORN IN EAST AFRICA (ETHIOPIA), MY PARENTS WERE IMMIGRATED ARABS, WHEN I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD MY FAMILY MOVED TO SAUDI ARABIA BECAUSE OF THE NEW COMMUNIST RULERS. AS FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A NEW BEGENING, IT HAD GREAT EMOTIONAL AND MORAL IMPACT AND EFFECT ON ME, NEW CULTURE, SOCIETY AND LOSS OF FRIENDS. IN THAT EARLY AGE I STARTED WRITING TALES WHICH I THOUGHT WERE NOVELS. BUT FORTUNATELY I SUCCEED TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS, WHO ARE NOW MY BEST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS (Dr.TALEB AL-ATTAS & Eng.YOUSEF IBRAHIM) WHO SUPPORTED ME IN PUBLISHING GIFT OF GOD.

YOUSEF AND I TRIED TO PUBLISH MY FIRST STORY, BUT WE FAILED FOR MANY REASONS, I'D TRIED AND TRIED BUT IN VAIN, UNTILL I GAVE UP WRITING. IT WAS KIND OF IMPOSSIBLE.

IN MY EARLY TWENTIES; I WENT TO STUDY IN INDIA (A GREAT COUNTY AND A WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO WHOM I REALLY AM GRATEFUL.) THERE I LEARNED A LOT FROM INDIAN CULTURE AND CULTURES OF MANY OTHERE COUNRIES WHO'S CITIZENS WERE LIVING AND STUDYING IN INDIA. THERE ALSO I FACED WITH MANY DIFFICULTIES, THAT IT WAS REALLY CLOSS TO INPOSSIBLE TO SEE MYSELF AS A SUCCESEFUL MAN IN THE FUTURE, AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS A WORRY , SOON IT WAS A NIGHTMARE FOR ME , "GOD, WHAT OR HOW" UNTILL ONE DAY I WATCHED A TALK SHOW FEATURING OPRAH WINFREY. SUCCESEFULLY RUNNING HER PROGRAM THERE IN AMERICA, SOMEHOW SHE BECOME MY INSPIRATION IN LIFE, HER WORDS REVIVED MY CONFIDENCE AGAIN! THEN SOME TIME LATER, I READ ANTHONY ROBBINS BOOK (UNLIMITED POWER) FROM WHICH I LEARNED ABOUT Mr. ROBBINS STORY AND HOW HE STRUGGLED AT MAKING A LIVING UNTILL HE SUCCEEDED IN LIFE. THEN, IT WAS ONLY A MATYER OF BELIEVING IN ONE'S SELF.

I STARTED WRITING AGAIN DURING 2000 AND I FINISHED MY FIRST STORY (IVAN'S WISH) THE (BOBO) AND MANY OTHERS OUT OF WHICH MY FRIEND Dr.TALEB AND MY WIFE CHOSE GIFT OF GOD FOR TWO GOOD REASONS, ONE; IT COULD BE EASILY ILLUSTRATED, AND SECOND, WE FOUND THE MOST HELPFUL TOOL (TRAFFORD PUBLISHING) TO WHOM I REALLY AM GRATEFUL AGAIN.

SO PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SHOW MY GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO HELPED ME EITHER BY INSPIRING ME OR BEING THERE FOR ME. I HOPE THAT MY WORDS OF THANKS WILL REACH THEM ALL:

*MY MOTHER; BROTHERS, SISTERS, KIDS AND MY WONDERFUL WIFE.( FOR BEING THERE FOR ME)
*MY BEST CHILEDHOOW FRIENDS; Dr.TALEB AL-ATTAS & Eng.YOUSEF IBRAHIM.( FOR BEING THERE FOR ME)
*OPRAH WINFREY (FOR BEING MY INSPIRATION) AND ANTHONY ROBBINS (FOR HIS BOOKS).
*Mr. DAVE DUPREY (I DO APPRECIATE YOU UNDERSTANDING AND VALUE YOUR ADVICE).
*TRAFFORD PUBLISHERS (SIMPLY FOR MAKING SO MANY PEOPLE'S DREAM COME TRUE).
