Mohammad Forghani
Hera by Mohammed Forghani is a book about a middle-aged man who collides with the electric car of a young woman fleeing her own wedding. A doctor, infatuated with the young woman, performs a groundbreaking experiment, merging the brains and bodies of the two accident victims to create a single new individual. This newly formed person must grapple with the complexities of living dual lives within a single body. The intricate relationships that unfold from the heart of the story, weaving together themes of identity, love, and self-discovery. Alongside these emotional and relational challenges, the narrative introduces readers to existential philosophy in an accessible and thought-provoking way. This story is for anyone who feels there is more to life than simply existing—an invitation to explore the profound questions that lie beneath the surface of the everyday. Join us, friend. The road is long, and patience is short.
Mohammad Forghani was born in 1968 in Kashmar, Iran. At just 10 vears old, he witnessed the Islamic Revolution, an event that profoundly shaped his life. Drafted into the Iran-Iraq War at 18, he served as a minesweeper on the front lines—facing constant danger without ever firing a shot. After the war, Mohammad pursued a degree in Nursing at Mashhad University, where he met his wife. Together, they have a son. During his university years, Mohammad discovered a passion for theater and poetry, excelling in both arts. As a nurse, he made a solemn vow: no one would die under his watch—a promise he upheld until he left the profession. Mohammad's journey has been one of transformation and resilience, leading him through diverse careers. From nursing, he transitioned to founding and managing a successful travel agency with over 150 employees. More recently, he embraced writing, finding a voice shaped by his rich and varied life experiences. Hera, his debut fantasy novel, is a reflection of his heart and soul, inviting readers into a world shaped by his trials, triumphs, and unwavering dedication to his craft.
