My name is Michelle Kssili aka Amira Ahmed. I am from Ohio (USA) I am an avid reader and writer. I write down everything that could potentially become a book. Some are just random thoughts. I love to travel with my husband. We have been to Spain, Morocco, France and Canada. I have written 3 books and created several workbooks.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is called Travel Girl (Michelle Kssili). I was inspired to write this book, for the simple fact I love to travel. I wanted to help others get the best deal possible. Through this book you will discover secret places I have found within the cities I have visited. I wanted to share my travels with others, places they may know existed.

I wouldn’t say I have any unusual writing habits. I am far most a simple writer. I must admit I do find inspiration from other writers.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
