The idea of Tehran Moonlight came to me when I was visiting my family in Iran and saw how much the country and the culture had changed since I left. I liked how the girls had more freedom and I also envied them since I didn’t possess that freedom when I was living there. But I knew that even the society had opened up to some extent, not all the families were willing to accept that and let their daughters to live their lives the way they wanted to. Mahtab, the protagonist in Tehran Moonlight, is one of those girls.

Books I read, movies I watch, the people around me. I am a people watcher and I love to learn about people and their lives.

Don’t ever give up. Being a writer is a very demanding profession and if you look back through history, there has never really been an easy time or era for being one. So don’t give up and write on, because in the end the passion and talent that you have will show through in your work.

When I have a block, I first stop pushing myself to write and start reading what I’ve written from the very beginning. This allows me to reset and refresh my mind. I also find that sometimes if I skip a chapter or two and write the chapters that I can visualize in my mind and then cycle back to where I left off; things seem to come together again.
