Tarek Refaat is an Egyptian author whose life was split between Egypt and Saudi Arabia until the age of twenty-two. He works in the Information Technology field, and began his writing career with the launch of his first book, Ruptured, back in 2011. The book was published via the Egyptian publishing house, Shabab Books.

Tarek’s books mainly revolve around female protagonists, which is not quite the norm. Ruptured tackles the issue of rape from a different angle than most books do. Tarek self-published his second book, Ribbons & Heels, in 2013, which tells the intertwined stories of four women and their journeys through life via their own set of circumstances.

Tarek’s third book, Broken Shadows, has been published via L. D. B. Press, a small press publisher located in the United States. The company is run by Nancy Medina, who is also an author and writes under the name, Lissette E. Manning. He also joined forces with Nihal Ramzy Janbek, who has created the calligraphy art which is used for the book’s title.

Tarek is a writer who is still going through the phase of forming his own style, but he is adventurous and tackles very different genres. His latest book, Broken Shadows, takes on the Thriller genre rather than the Chick-Lit Drama he has adopted for his prior two books.

 

About Broken Shadows:

Broken hearts and dark shadows, will love ever find its way back to them?

Fifteen years ago, Heidi Aasar fled the country, hoping to make sense of the chaos that surrounded her. A burned ex-operative, she refuses to continue hiding in the shadows. She now has the chance to right the wrongs of her dark past. Determined to find a way to redeem herself, she must first fix the loose threads she left behind so long ago.

A successful business owner, Nadim Mohamed Sharaf has done his best to move on after his heart was broken fifteen years ago. In his mind, he has everything he could ever want or need at his fingertips. Until the moment Heidi makes a sudden reappearance in his life. It’s then everything around him changes.

A chain reaction of events soon turns Nadim and Heidi’s lives upside-down. Forced to confront the turmoil brewing between them, they must put aside their differences if they are to survive another day. The choices they’ll have to make will define the outcome of the lives they lead.

Will they be able to overcome their painful and chaotic past? Or will the pain and heartache consume them in the long run?
