I'm a writer, author and filmmaker. I dream a lot. Some might say I'm a chronic dreamer. I started as a journalist in 1998 and now I'm "just" a writer. I write quirky stories, some more unusual than the others. But they're all silly. Really. I've just released my second book, Moments, a collection of short stories, published by Al Maseerah Publishing House. Please take a momment to visit my wbesite www.alialsaeed.com to learn more.
