Zamir Akhtar is a fantasy fiction author hailing from Dubai, who has gained significant recognition for his "Gunmetal Gods" series of novels. Akhtar's writing is heavily influenced by his upbringing, which has enabled him to bring a unique perspective to his work.
At the age of fourteen, Akhtar relocated from the arid, sandy landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula to the chilly, hilly region of Western Massachusetts. He is not a fan of the cold or the sun and prefers to spend his days indoors, typing away at his keyboard with the hope of creating something remarkable. When Akhtar is not conjuring up dark and fantastical stories, he enjoys watching horror movies, debating international relations on Reddit, and traveling to far-off and exotic locations. Currently, he resides in Dubai with his adoring wife and their mischievous pet rabbit.
In addition to the "Gunmetal Gods" series, Akhtar has also offered a free standalone novella, "Death Rider," to those who sign up for his mailing list on his website, ZamilAkhtar.com. The readers have the opportunity to receive a free copy of this novella and get a taste of his writing style and the world of "Gunmetal Gods."
