Ehab Shawky

Greetings dear reader. My name is Ehab Shawky. I am an author and self-publisher. I live in Cairo, Egypt. I have two Bachelor's degrees; the first is B.Sc. in Mechanical Power Engineering, received from Cairo University, class 2002. The second is a BA in Islamic Studies, received from the Higher Institute for Islamic Studies, class 2016. Getting the chance to spend a lifetime learning about science and religion had an impact on my thoughts and perceptions. Although I worked in the engineering field for over a decade, and my peers and mentors have well recognized my achievements, I have always had a desire in my heart to dedicate most of my time to writing. Becoming a writer has always been my dream. I started writing very early at the age of ten; that was when I had my first article published on my school’s billboard. Ever since that day, I never stopped writing. On my blogs, you can read poetry, prose, intellectual articles, historical narratives, spiritual and religious commentary, etc. I have written and self-published three books. The first was an academic book titled ‘Islamic Methodologies Made Easy.’ It came among the best sellers in the non-fiction genre back in 2015 and 2016. The second is a fiction novel titled, ‘The Lost Way to Misrost,’ published in 2018. The third is a poetry and rhymed prose book. If you have any questions related to my books and writings, you can contact me at seifsalamakarem@yahoo.com. Best of luck.
