But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most. ↗

Hardcover books are fairly expensive these days and to read one requires a significant commitment of time in our busy society. So I want to make sure that when readers buy one of my books they get something they're familiar with. ↗

In other words, the people who populate my books are more than caricatures. ↗

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about. ↗

Currently I am working on another three books, doing a lot of magazine work, am shooting for fifteen stock agencies, plus my own photo library - all this keeps me quite busy! ↗

The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan. ↗

حينما تترقب خلف ستار الخوف عودتهم ! وحينما تعتقد بأن أعاصير الحياة عصفت بهم كما عصفت بك عند رحيلهم .. وحينما تعتقد بأنهم مازالوا هناك على رصيف الذكرى يقفون ، ينتظرون طيف أقدامك ! يترقبون مجيئك ويعتصرون ألماً على فراقك ..! كما تفعل أنت الآن ، وكما فعلت منذ زمن عندها تكون ياعزيزي أقرب إلى الجنون ↗

I love to read different books on completely different subjects at the same time. I cannot focus on one. I read a few pages of literature, then I jump to philosophy and at the same time I'm reading biographies of Mahler. ↗
