Kia Abdullah

I did a 90-stop tour of my @TfL billboards and posters. If I’d known it would take 27 hours over 2.5 days, I wouldn't have attempted it, but here we are. Please enjoy my journey from Uxbridge to Hatton Cross to Theydon Bois and the many – oh god, so very many – places in between.

@tazeen Thank you so much, Tazeen. ♥️

Just finished reading @KiaAbdullah's Zara Kaleel books Take it Back & Truth Be Told and I am surprised why no one has optioned them for TV series yet. Gripping, thrilling and full of interesting fleshed out characters, so very easy to turn into a tv script.

@yhgwassup Thank you! 🥰

@KiaAbdullah 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

@OliviaAdekola Happy Thanksgiving! There no plans for another Zara at the moment, but I think you will love Safa from What Happens in the Dark, although I'm not sure if you can get it in the US yet!

@KiaAbdullah You are more than deserving! It’s thanksgiving day here in the States and I am utterly broken🤣! Please tell me I will get to see Zara (I’ve read both her books) again in the future?

@KiaAbdullah You are a literary genius! I know you are going to break me, but I welcome it every single time! Thank you for being you. #TruthBeTold

@adarkelimited Hi Adam, do you mind DM'ing me please? I'm writing an article about journeymen and wanted to talk to Johnny Greaves about Bright Lights and Dark Corners. Thank you!

@Brett63J Thank you so much! 🙏🏽

@KiaAbdullah such a brilliant book!😘❤️

@MarkTurley72 Hi Mark, do you mind DM'ing me your email address please? I'm working on a piece about journeymen and would potentially like to interview you. Thank you!

@passedouthippie Hi Nay, how lovely to hear that you're reading Next of Kin! Sadly, I am on complete lockdown until 30th Jan. I am doing a fast-track diploma and it is taking every minute of my day (I'm currently still studying at 10.30pm 😢). I'm so sorry I can't join you on this occasion!

@KiaAbdullah Hi @KiaAbdullah , I help run Book Bliss Book Club and we’re reading Next of Kin this month. We’d love to invite you for a short virtual Q&A with our members in November if you’re available. What’s the best way to reach you about it? 💛

@MickeyJoshNut @HarperCollinsCa Hi Elaine, there’s a UK audiobook. I’m not sure if it will be released in Canada though!

@HarperCollinsCa @KiaAbdullah will this be released as an ebook?

@NewhamLondon @JamesAsser Hi, why are Newham’s streets so dirty? I’ve been seeing the same pizza boxes, litter and rubbish for the last 2 weeks. I’ve lived in the area for 3 years now and this is still an issue. Why don’t our streets get cleaned regularly as standard?

I'm so looking forward to @BloodyScotland this year. It's one of my favourite literary festivals. Always such good vibes. If you're nearby, come and say hello! bloodyscotland.com/event/their-wo…

@GlasgowBookworm Thank you! Yes, the sequel is coming!

According to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs in Rhode Island, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the war in Afghanistan combined.

@Nomio1984 Yay! Thank you, Naomi! 🥳🙏🏽

Another fabulous book by @KiaAbdullah who never fails to get the cogs turning with very real & relevant issues within nail biting reads that have me hooked from start to finish! Amazing writing & the ending of this one made me gasp, I never saw the twist coming 🤯 #TruthBeTold

@AmakaAzie Ha ha. Thank you, Amaka. Shout out to the forever stans! 🥳🙏🏽

@KiaAbdullah 😩 You are LITERALLY the GOAT! How did I just discover you have a new book out. And by pure chance?! I picked up What Happens in the Dark and I’m in awe. A forever stan now! Everyone, you NEED to read it. Pure brilliance. As we say in Nigeria: Na you biko! 🙌📚✨
