He finally agreed to let his friends send him his books!
Despite offers from other writers and friends, he never agreed to receive his books because he felt he deserved to buy them himself. However, it wasn’t possible to order from Amazon in his country. Almost a year after the publication of his first book, and a few months after the publication of his second and third books, he was convinced to get them all because he wanted to see his mother and his two little nieces touch his books. It was a great deal for him!
The lovely Deborah Small, a writer from the UK, kindly offered to send Mehran’s books to him. He was thrilled to receive them on August 29, 2024.
