Author's Bio

Khalil Nouri is a retired Boeing engineer born in Afghanistan with a deep passion for

writing and storytelling in historical fiction. Nouri takes pride in his family lineage. His

great-grandfather, the governor of Kandahar, signed the exit treaty of the British troops in the second Anglo-Afghan war. Khalil moved to the U.S. at nineteen, and now he lives with his wife and two sons in Seattle, Washington. 

Nouri alluded: “I’m obliged that Romaunce Books has published my novel, “Rattling the Jewel

in the Crown,” which was in the making for over ten years. I’m experiencing a euphoric

moment for being a traditionally published author. Still, honestly, the credit should go to my publishing and

editorial team for believing in my story as much as I did.”

Khalil's completed manuscript is “The Storyteller of Kabul”. It's edited--developmental and copy.

His next historical fiction novel, “Kaiser’s Mission to Kabul,” is now being written, and “An Afghan Officer of the Third Reich,” is undergoing research. 

Khalil also wrote about Afghanistan for The Huffington Post, Examiner.com, Oriental Review

Veteran’s Today, Eurasia Network.  He has been a guest columnist for the Seattle Times, CNN,

McClatchy News, the Laguna Journal, Canada Free Press, Salem News, and Opinion Maker.

He has written research papers for a peaceful solution for Afghanistan.

He also appeared as an Afghanistan-Pakistan geopolitical analyst on Major TV Networks, Voice

of America (VOA), and Huffington Post.
