So be nice to Gina Carano. And say that you loved her new Stephen Soderbergh-directed film, Haywire, when you see it later this month. If you don’t see it, lie. You fellas enjoy not having broken ribs, right? More photos here.

Ps3

Part of those random stuffies (and yes i know stuffies ain't a word)

Did you start off by writing short stories and develop your writing from there? Or did you start with a novel?

I started my writing career with short stories. Happiness is a Four-Letter Word follows a similar format as it’s made up of four distinct stories woven into one.

How do you keep going when you reach a block with your book? What inspires you to find ways round the problem?

With Happiness is a Four-Letter Word it was easier to deal with the ‘block’ because the book is really made up of four interlinked stories. Each time I struggled with one character’s storyline, I simply picked another character and started a new story.

You see, Islam is the only religion that gives both husband and wife a true understanding of what love is. The Western “love” concept, you take it apart, it really is lust. But love transcends just the physical. Love is disposition, behaviour, attitude, thoughts, likes, dislikes - these things make a beautiful woman, a beautiful wife. This is the beauty that never fades. You find in your Western civilisation that when a man’s wife’s physical beauty fails, she loses her attraction. But Islam teaches us to look into the woman, and teaches her to look into us.
