Salim was even more spellbound when touring the swamps and bayous of the region that are as much part of his heritage as the cuisine.
Salim received a B.S. from Mississippi Valley State University, and a M.A. in Sociology from Texas Southern University.
Salim has traveled to Egypt, visited the pre-Columbian archeological sites in Mexico, and precincts of the American Civil War. He has toured the barrier islands of Georgia and South Carolina.
Not surprisingly, Salim favors the mystery-supernatural genre. In his first novel, “Master of the Estate,” he introduced the reluctant hero Worthy Deen. The current work, “Throne of the Peacock Angel,” is a gripping sequel in which the sleuth Worthy Deen reappears after a 10-year self-imposed hiatus.view less
