This is such incredible news, and I am beyond proud of you. Your journey with “Statistic of One: Confessions of an X Muslim” has been nothing short of amazing(with a bit of frustration here n there - lol). Seeing the first chapter in Free Inquiry is a testament to your talent and hard work. The fact that you’re published alongside the likes of Christopher Hitchens—wow, just wow! I can’t wait for the day when we’re on your book tour, with you signing copies! Your work is already making waves, and I know this is just the beginning. You’ve tackled such important and timely issues with honesty, humor and profound insight, and I’m so proud to see you get the recognition you deserve. Your voice is important and so relevant in today’s conversations. What a perfect issue to be published in! Here’s to many more milestones and an epic journey ahead! With all my admiration and excitement, Simone

Hey Ray, Wow, what a milestone! "Statistic of One: Confessions of an X Muslim" is finally out there, and in Free Inquiry no less. That’s huge! I’m eager to check out 'About a Boy' and see how you’re shaking up the conversation on secularism and free thought. The topics in this issue are incredibly on point, and it's great to see your voice in the mix. Really looking forward to that video you mentioned—can’t wait to hear how you share the backstory and what drove you to write this book right now. Catch you later!

Ray The Producer
Hello fellow rational friends: some of you may know that I have been hard at work on my epic non-fiction work entitled Statistic of One: Confessions of an X Muslim. Well, I am beyond pleased to announce that not only is the book complete, but none other than the prestigious Free Inquiry magazine has published the very first chapter 'About a Boy'. I am just thrilled to be a part of one of America's foremost journals for secular and humanistic free thought. To think that no less a writer than the late Christopher Hitchens has contributed to this wonderful publication is incredibly humbling.
A link to the article is below. It is subscription only, but just look at the wealth of extremely timely articles I have the privilege to be featured alongside: the sinister marriage of religion and politics here in the US, the rise of Hindu nationalism in India, normalizing 'blasphemy', and so much more.

And stay tuned for a very special video in the next week or so, where I discuss the book, what it's about, why I wrote it, and why it's time is now. Cheers!
