Nauman A. Raja

Marhaba, I'm Nauman Raja, and I'm the author of "The Land of Amer." This is my first book.

I was born in a small village in Pakistan. Ever since we moved to Pennsylvania, I was always interested in fantasy books, but my reading skills were limited. Many times, I ended up creating my own story out of the stories I was trying to read. I found this easier for me when I was growing up and learning, but my love for fantasy evolved into a desire to create it myself.

I discovered that I wanted to write a high fantasy book with South Asian themes and lore and a mixture of European touches. Words, locations and names in “The Land of Amer” are all based in a South Asian background. I hope readers enjoy and piece together the story, as I used to do when reading as a child.
