Ranya O. Khalifa has had a lifelong passion for writing and story-telling since the age of eight, holding a strong unshakeable belief that the written word is a majestic tool whereby an author imprints images in every reader's mind. Her poetry collection, entitled, '
To the Majesty of the Word', attests to her fundamental conviction that words are extremely powerful and potent means of human story-telling and emotional connectivity.
This is her second thriller novel, yet the first in the murder-crime sub-genre, where she takes the reader on a no holds barred 'who-dun-it' high speed-chase. Full of explosive twists and turns, multiple villains, and a slew of con artists, readers should expect nothing less than a breathless, unstoppable rollercoaster ride.
Ranya holds a B.A in mass communication and an M.A in middle eastern studies from The American University in Cairo, Egypt. She has worked in several fields such as journalism, advertising, research, and has had a lifelong passion for traveling, poetry writing, as well as performing and visual arts.
