Rahman graduated from university with honors. Besides writing, he’s been working in IT for a total of nearly two decades. However, you can never rule out him turning over to writing for a full time career.

The author’s high interest in fiction led him to try and write some screenplays. He also tried out writing for independent film making companies. He says that his passion resides in checking out a good crime thriller novel. After all, good ones in the past have inspired him to do some of his current writing.

Jay is someone that had a regular life where he just sold a small amount of merchandise on the side. Overnight he went from a supplier to an accidentally labeled terrorist. How did that happen exactly?

People call Javid Jay, and he’s been kicking it around west London for a while. But could this unlikely dealer be the one person that the area needs to save the day? When Jay heads off to Friday’s mosque visit, it’s part of his regular routine.

Along with him he has brought the thing that he prizes most in the world, his car. That and living along with his mom means that his life isn’t quite all that bad. He actually likes it as it’s nice to eat the food that his mom cooks for him and he’s got quite a comfortable existence. Or it was until they attempted to recruit him into something weird.

He still managed to do the right thing and save the day. Jay Qasim was personally responsible for preventing a huge attack by terrorists that would have been the largest attack in recent history. So yeah, he is technically a hero. .It’s no big deal to him, but it was pretty stressful and outside the normal day for him.

Now, he’s just happy to be back home where he belongs. West London has never seemed so great to him. Even though he’s been invited to do some spy undercover stuff again, Jay just wants to retreat into the background and pick up something more relaxing. If his routine is to go back to normal, maybe he can just manifest a quiet life by actually doing it.

The last thing that he wants is to talk with MI5. So he’s blocked their number and is now working a nice normal job in a call center somewhere. He is determined to have a normal life and if this is what it takes, then so be it. It’s not like he was trying to have a career working as a spy. Undercover stuff is way too stressful for Jay to volunteer to do it.

However, Jay’s about to find out that even if he’s left the game board, the game is still in play. No matter what he does, it’s going to be tough to try and lead that normal life he’s so committed to making work. The more in demand he is with the secret services, the more that living the quiet existence he’s been attempting is going to get increasingly more difficult.

When it comes to this novel from Khurrum Rahman, check out the action and adventure that is going on in this (fictional) end of west London! Read Homegrown Hero to find out what happens in the end and whether Jay is about to be the world’s biggest secret hero– again.
