Fatima Taha
Fatima Taha, a master’s student in English literature at Georgetown University, discovered her true love at the age of five: books. Twenty years later, her passion has only increased much like the popularity and lengths of J.K. Rowling’s texts. After an exhausting day of studying or working, she enjoys picking up a warm book instead of a hot cup of coffee. Being a student, she rarely has money to travel across the world so she takes a quick trip to her extensive bookshelf or that of the nearest library to visit places across the globe or those that can only be found in a well-penned fantasy/sci-fi novel. Writing cast its spell on her a few years after reading did. Beginning with scribbling short silly stories for friends, she eventually began writing full length novels and short stories for magazines and journals. She hopes one day that her words will transport her readers to exciting realms as other authors have done for her.
