Unraveling the mystery leads her through the city’s underbelly as she encounters rampaging ghouls, saucy assassins, clockwork angels, and a plot that could unravel time itself. But things aren’t precisely as they seem. In the story, an agent with the Egyptian Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities, Fatma el-Sha’arawi, is put on the case of a djinn suicide. So much so that it launched my current writing with Tor.com Publishing, including the unrelated novellas The Black God’s Drums and Ring Shout.Ī Dead Djinn in Cairo was set in an alternate 1912 Cairo, where djinn and magic had returned to to world. To my surprise, delight, and gratitude, that story did well. If you’ve followed this blog, or my writing, you’ll know my first “big” story was a novelette published on May18 2016 called, A Dead Djinn in Cairo. *Note, this is mostly a re-post of a blog I did earlier this year with some updates. Though I’ve done this before, since it has (again) been a minute, this post is gonna recount the road that brought me here. My full-length novel, A Master of Djinn, was officially released a week ago from today on by Tor.com Publishing. But thought I’d make time to stop by and say… I WROTE A BOOK!
