“It is with great sorrow that I inform you all that one of our founding members, my good friend and mentor Nicholas Boving passed away on the 23rd of April after a long and brave battle with leukemia. I have no words to express how sad this makes me feel. Nick had been a great friend to me and had been mentoring me for the last few years. My last three books were both reviewed and edited by him and I was working with him on a new manuscript which I have no idea how I will turn back to now that he is gone. May Allah grant him the highest place in heaven. Amen.” – Samna Ghani
