The Pageant Trap

Honored Readers, I'm thrilled to finally introduce you to Hilalistan, my newest novel. The COVID-19 lockdown was a time of uncertainty and reflection for many of us, and it was during this time that the idea for this book first came to me, and maybe this is the reason that this book has a special place in my heart. My fourth novel, Hilalistan, is set against the backdrop of love and uncertainty in relationships and revolutionary times. As a writer, I think it's crucial to explore controversial subjects that make us think critically and push us to develop as people. My other passion is environmental education for youth, and I was a founding member of the Pakistani non-governmental organization SOME - Save Our Mother Earth. I hope to motivate others to join me in my efforts to preserve our planet. I'm also the founder of BAD (Battle Anti Diabetes), a group that works to educate the public and provide resources for people with diabetes. As you read Hilalistan, I hope you'll reflect on the complexity of your own relationships, the volatility of our global community, and the transformative potential of love. I appreciate you reading this note and I hope you enjoy Hilalistan as much as I did writing it. With warm regards Usman Aman
