Thanks for the friend invite, Nahid. I look forward to chatting books with you.
Thank you for your friend request, Nahid! Looking forward to sharing thoughts on books with you in the future.
Thank you for adding me back as your friend Nahid! I made the mistake of turning off platforms (I don't know WHY I did that!) and now I am starting all over again on Goodreads ~ I lost everything. :( HUGS.And I am still living in Hartland, N.B. (I see me on your previous comments!) INTERESTING.

Nahid wrote: "PS. I'm really sorry about the bugs... I hope your recovery is fast. I'm curious where this happened and where you live. Nahid"I live in Canada, and the trip took me to Chiapas, Mexico (my 1st international flight, and my luggage was lost so I was without meds). *smile*
Hello, thanks for your wonderful comment on PERSIAN GIRLS. It's so heart warming. Where do you live?
THANK YOU NAHID FOR ACCEPTING FRIENDSHIP WITH ME! I am housebound, permanently disabled from bug bites on a mission trip |(I would go again in a heartbeat!), and so to fill my aching hours, I love to read, especially biographies. I LOVED Persian Girls: A Memoir and you have inspired me so much to want to write my story; it takes real courage!
Dear Christianna, Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I'm really flattered. Good luck with your own writing. Nahid
Dear Nahid, I have read all of your published works and they are truly beautiful and inspiring pieces. I am young and just starting out with my writing but you have really inspired me with your works. Thank you for bringing such artistic insight to my life. -Christianna Marie.
i'm glad that we're friends on this website and i'm not going to take your course sorry lol
salam nahid khanum, sale noye miladi mobarak! enshallah ke in saale 2012 yeh saal por az movafaqqiyet o shaady beshavad.
Sorry I have been away and didn't see your nice note. Thanks so much for your interest in my books. Nahid

Thank you,
Adrianna

Dear Nahid, what an honor to be friends with an author of one of the books I've lined up. It will surely be the next book I'll get my hands into. I like my hardbound copy of Persian Girls. =)

Dear Jen, Thanks for your interest. I hope you will connect to the story of my life. All the best, Nahid
good to meet you. i see you've written a memoir, and i have a soft spot in my heart for memoirs, so i hope to read it soon. best, jen
Hey, Nahid. Thanks for the friend request :) Whoa you've written a lot of books and you got quite a few fans. There wouldn't happen to be a contest where I could win them all would it?
Dear Alta, that conference in India didn't take place, for various budget problems. They might be rescheduling it but that's up in the air right now. Thanks for your interest. All the best, Nahid
Hi Nahid,I recently discovered your name among the list of invited authors at a Conference in India (which, actually, is taking place right now). I mention this because the conf. organizer was also the organizer for a retreat/conference I went to a year ago in France (and some of the invited people are the same). I would have liked to go to India but I discovered it to late--I am curious to get some more details after you get back. My personal email is altaifland@yahoo.com.
Thanks, Alta
Hi Nahid. Thanks for requesting the friendship!Othello
Hi Nahid, thanks for the friend invitation. I wasn't expecting a real-life author to add me as a friend, so this is a very pleasant surprise!Wishing you all the best!
Dear Simon, Thanks for your interest in my memoir. I would love to get your feedback on it. I usually don't read mysteries, but I like the idea of identity and so I'll read your work.
What happened to the Persian friends? Did they return to Iran?
Thank you for the friend invitation. It gave me the opportunity to discover your writings. I would especially love to read your memoir, 'Persian Girls'.In the late seventies, my college-student daughter befriended a group of Persian girls who were students here also. The young women spent a lot of time with our family which was enriching for all of us.
Jeanne
