coming of age: growing up Muslim in Australia

2/12/2013

I'm so excited to announce that the anthology I've been co-editing has gone to print.

I've been enjoying a blissful few days ever since. The last few weeks before it went to print were frantic with all the activity and stress. Now it's just so nice to sit back and wait for the advanced copies to come to my mail box.

I'm very excited about next year. There are a few things in progress that I'll be announcing as they come into play, but for now I'm going to enjoy life and this window of peace and contentment after all the hard work of this year.

Note: The anthology will be available in bookstores in February 2014.

I hit send before I finished. Anyway, I am so glad I read Coming of Age and thanks for putting so much work into such a great book.

I read a part of this book in Good Weekend and immediately bought the ebook. I am not Muslim but have always been curious about what it would be like to grow up a Muslim in Australia.

I think this book should go on high school curriculums - such a great starting point for some hugely important discussions.

I finished the final story in the book with tears in my eyes. Seriously, well done. Such an eye-opening book for non-Muslims and a great affirming book for the huge range
