about a year and a half to 2 years ago i think she posted few topics on the forum asking for volunteers to take a survey for her upcoming book, i was one of the members here that volunteered to take it, 3 days ago i received an email from her notifying me of the completion of her book, she asked for my address so she can send me a copy. she is here with good intentions, you shouldn't be worried.

Asalaamu alaikum,
Tee hee - here I am! I am the one who wrote the book 'From Somalia, with love'. The Screw, thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt!

I won't ruin it by revealing too much about the story but I will say 'thank you' to Somalinet posters who responded to my impertinent questions and helped me to shape the novel to be a (more) accurate reflection of Somali youth - and no, I didn't factor in the more 'extreme' elements of people's online personas!

Wasalaam

Na'ima B. Robert
