Welcome, welcome!

You may have read All-American Muslim Girl, or Romancing the Throne, or one of my other books.

Maybe you’re a PR person from my journalist/travel days.

Perhaps you remember my days as Jolie in NYC, one of the original beauty bloggers.

It’s possible you saw me on Bravo. (And let us never speak of it again.)

Or maybe you’re a baby screenwriter, like me.

Whatever brought you here, I’m so glad!

First, a disclosure: I’m a mom to a 2-year-old who’s constantly sick with the daycare plague (plus a much healthier 8-year-old, thank goodness). That means I’m not able to update regularly. As Charlotte gets older, though, I genuinely hope to make it into your inbox more frequently.

You can expect the latest and greatest on my screenplays, books, and articles, plus occasional behind the scenes peeks at my life.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a newsletter (curse you, MailChimp) and even longer since I’ve been in the habit of writing daily.

Life has been hitting us all hard recently. I hope you and yours are keeping safe and healthy and that you’re taking as much time for your mental health as is possible. We’ve got a bumpy ride ahead this decade. Community, friends, connection is what makes it bearable and even — despite the chaos, if you’re lucky — magical.

Hugs,

Nadine

Share with your friends, colleagues, countrymen, et al!
