I wrote wrote the seven-time award-winning bestseller Future World Order (2019 & 2020) and sequel A Global Spring(2022). But my childhood dream was to be a cartoonist! This is why I drew the crowdfunded political comic book, The Global Kid, in 2016, which stars the superhero character of 14 year old Sami. Sami lived in different countries with his family (much like I did – 7 countries by age 14) and observes political problems (much like I do in my day job). My political comic book won its seventh education award in 2021. All my profits went to education nonprofits during 2016-2019 and then to my brother's memorial fund for Syrian refugee youth via charity Peace and Sport during 2019-2021."
