Hello Samira! It's Daniel Buban from high school. I've noticed quite a bit of reviews on your book and and was surprised as I didn't think it was available until early next year. Do I have to wait and if not, what's the best place for me to purchase so you receive proper income for it? Look forward to the read!! I'd love a signed copy if any are available! Cheers and hope all is well your way!

Thanks so much for finding me here and asking that question. The book isn't out until January 16th, 2018. You can definitely pre-order from the usual suspects--IndieBound, Amazon, Barnes and Noble. However, currently there are some ARCs (advanced reader copies--unedited) floating around that are mainly supposed to be for librarians, book bloggers, reviewers, etc. I'm hoping I'll be doing a few events in and around Chicago once the book is officially launched--if you're still in the area! If not, once the book is out, contact me and I can send you signed bookplate! Hope all is well with you!(less)

Samira Ahmed answered Brooke's question:
Hi Samira! We've recently made your book "Love, Hate, and Other Filters" part of a choice reading curriculum at my school called "The American Experience", where students read works by diverse authors and voices. The book has been a hit, and my girls have been clamoring to know if there's any hope of a sequel, so I promised them I'd ask! Otherwise, are you working on any new books?
Samira Ahmed
How sweet! Currently no plans for a sequel but I never say never! If they liked LH&OF, I’d suggest my book Mad Bad & Dangerous to Know as a follow up. Currently working on my 2024 book that has not yet been announced! I’m usually not on this site so See Full Answer

“What’s that thing people always say about history? Unless we know our history, we’re doomed to repeat it? Never forget? Isn’t that the lesson? But we always forget. Forgetting is in the American grain.”
