My mother is an artist, and I have a strong visual sense. I almost always choose the cover art for my books. I've learned that the more I collaborate, like by having someone do a soundtrack to one of my books, the more I see my own work differently. ↗

بعض المذكرات أودعتها في مستودعات الماضي العتيق ، همشتها في أحد أدراج الأمس وقبل أن أمضي ! ألجمتها بجرعات الصمت القاتلة غرست بها بعض تخدير الموت الموضعي ! لأقصى نزف فيها ولأخمص ملامح ذابلة / باهتة موجوعة فيها ولكن الذكرى إعتادت على مراوغة ذاكرتي وحرمت عليها نعمة النسيان ! ↗
