To my late father Muhammed, my mother Zaineb, wife Janaan and children Muhammed, Zaineb and Maryem. One of my earliest childhood memories is of my parents with a book in their lap, reading and later relating and debating their literary experience. This passion for reading was one of the most potent factors in shaping my life. Growing up in a home where reading was as normal as having meals and books crowding shelves and piling high on tables in every room enriched my mind and soul. My parents’ interest in what I read and write led me to a parallel universe where I can experience lives I have never lived and through my own writing create a private world to satisfy my imagination. My wife and children amplified this love of books through their own passion and dozens of books they added to our home library. To all of them I am indebted for this gift and much more. Knowledge we spend a lifetime cultivating dies with our mortality and only escape this unfortunate fate through our recorded words.
