Sameena K. Mughal

Sameena K. Mughal is an author and copywriter. Rediscovering her passion for literature after many years of teaching, she introduced her debut short story collection, Shaherazade's Daughters as a feminist homage to the classic 1001 Arabian Nights. Her second book, The Siddiqui Brothers in Cairo follows the adventures of eccentric scientists who, ironically, are too forward-thinking in The Golden Age of Islam, a time that is known for its progressive ideas. The daughter of immigrants who came to the United States from Uganda in 1972, Sameena developed a distinct voice as a first-generation American and cultural hybrid. This perspective weaves itself into her fiction and other writing. She currently lives in Smyrna, Georgia with her rescue dog, Edison. To learn more about Sameena, check out www.sameenakmughal.com.
