@Le_Muslim_MAN's Interview! Part Two!

Salaam / Hello! And welcome to PART TWO of the interview of Le_Muslim_MAN by NaeemNaufer !Let's start with no further wait!

_________________

NN: Welcome back everyone! We hope you enjoyed the essays from last time. Today, we've got a few more answers to your fan questions! Don't forget to leave loads of comments for the author! So, Mr. LMM, the today's first question; When is MATB going on sale again?

LMM: Weeeeeeeeelll since you ask, MATB is currently priced at $18.81 for paperback and $2.99 for e-book on Amazon. They won't let me lower the price on the paperback any less than that right now (I guess the cost of printing went up)... BUUUUT it is set up that if you purchase the paperback you can also get a copy of the ebook included for free. That way you can take MATB with you wherever you go, and share with others.

Oh, and when Amazon allows me to reduce the price again I'll make an announcement. But for those who haven't read MATB, I really recommend you check it out. Not because I spent 3 years writing it on various devices. But for it's Islamic benefit and for what it can mean for our community as a whole. Share and support each other and spread good, wholesome Islamic fiction. Oh, and don't forget to leave reviews!

NN: Ah, yes. Moving on; If you could collaborate with one author, who would it be?

LMM: Actually, I've already collaborated with two authors here. SnortleChortle and KittyCrackers . We did a 3 part crossover featuring Ahmad and Ahlaam from "Chasing Pearls", Farah and Adam from "Truly Yours" (which is gaining newfound popularity these days), and Yusuf and Safia from "A Muslim's Romantic Journey".

My segment of it has been taken down right now unfortunately (it's being rewritten, and will be published in the sequel to "Chasing Pearls", In Shaa Allah), but check out the wedding chapter in Truly Yours and the chapter in "AMRJ One Shots" for more information.

NN: I have no idea what this is, but; Anatawa, Nihongogasukidesuka?

LMM: Space your words out lol. Also, whatgivesyou thatidea?

NN: The best thing about being an author for you?

LMM: The chance to educate, entertain, and inspire. Lol.

No but really, the fact that you can use your imagination to create a whole universe of ideas and tales. Tell things in way no else does. Tell stories that mean something to you and impact others too. Having an influence (hopefully positive) on others and sharing your world.

Opening people's minds to vast wonders and just... when you can get out some exciting plot you've been thinking of for so long and then others read and appreciate that, it really makes your day. It really just makes your heart feel good, especially when you've helped someone or they learn from something you've shared or relate to it and benefit from it.

When they fall in love with the characters and stories you've created, similar to how you have, it's such a great feeling and a reward all its own. Plus it helps with venting or letting out whatever emotions you need out. :P

NN: Which one of your books are you most proud of?

LMM: Well, I've got newfound appreciation for "Empires Of Faith", even after winning the first place in Best Reader's Choice Award here in The Rahma Awards; after seeing how much it actually means to some of my fans so I really do love that. And I also feel like publishing MATB has been a great accomplishment for me, writing and selling my first novel. It hasn't sold too well to be honest but I have my copy and I really have to pause and say Alhamdulillah that I'm able to go and hold the physical manifestation of my creativity and efforts. The payoff from my long nights typing and dreaming. It really feels great. Alhamdulillah.
