Tamara Agha-Jaffar Some of you might be interested to know I have just released my novel, Gilgamesh of Uruk based on the epic hero, Gilgamesh, from Ancient Mesopotamia.

The book blurb:

Gilgamesh, son of the goddess Ninsun and the mortal Lugalbanda, is the arrogant king of the vibrant city of Uruk, a sprawling desert metropolis. In an attempt to quell Gilgamesh’s oppressive behavior, the gods fashion the wild man, Enkidu, to be a companion to the king and to calm his errant ways. The two form an inseparable bond, embark on a wild misadventure, and commit a series of blunders that offend the very gods who created Enkidu. What happens next sends Gilgamesh on an epic journey to find his ancestor, Utnapishtim the Faraway, to learn his story of survival and unlock the secrets of immortality.

I have posted an excerpt of Chapter One on my blog.

The novel is available on Amazon Kindle.
