Eid Mubarak!
May you have a joyous Eid, whichever day you celebrate on. (And even if you don't celebrate it, may you feel the joy of the Muslims around you radiating into your life!)
I wanted to share an Eid song written and sung by my friend and co-founder of Muslims for Progressive Values, Ani Zonneveld. It's beautiful. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm a stay-at-home mom/freelance writer/author. While I make a living at journalism and op-ed, my first love is fiction, particularly science fiction. I also write poetry, mostly of a religious bent.
SuperMom Saves the World
By Melanie Lynne Houser. The sequel to Confessions of Supermom. I've just started reading it, but before the end of the first page I was laughing out loud. A fun, fast-paced, light read that is perfect for the plane or that lazy day on the beach.

Causes Worth Supporting
This is just a short list -- a few of my favorites.
Wanda Campbell also known as Nochipa
A very gifted poet and a gentle, compassionate soul. Nochipa and I are on the same page on sooooo many things
Writeous Sister
Aminah Hernandez, she's got some excellent latino pieces and always has good writing info on her blog.
Sister Scorpion
aka Leila Montour - Leila is a fount of energy, quirky humor, and bad attitude. She's also a talented poet. Muhajabah
Very interesting commentary here. I don't always agree with her, but her pieces are always thought-provoking.
Georgie Dowdell
Georgie is a great writer and a good friend.
Louise Marley
Another great writer. I think Louise is one of the best sf writers exploring faith themes.
Ink in My Coffee
Devon Ellington (who has numerous aliases) who is also the editor of Circadian Poems. A truly inspiring woman with a seemingly endless supply of energy.
Ethnically Incorrect With a name like that, isn't a given I'm going to enjoy this writer?
Freedom from the Mundane
Colin Galbraith, another excellent writer, from Scotland.
The Scruffy Dog Review
This is a new e-zine with an ecclectic mix of fiction, poetry, and non-fic, some really enjoyable pieces here.
Ramblings of a Suburban Soccer Mom
Lara, another gentle soul, very thoughtful.
Circadian Poems
A journal of poetry, new stuff up all the time.
Ye Olde Inkwell
Michelle writes romance and is one of my writing buddies.
Muhammad Michael Knight
The original punk Muslim writer. Like him or love him, Mike is always coming up with the unexpected.
