Action and Adventure

Eman Alblooshi, a prominent Emirati author, educator, and mother of seven from Abu Dhabi, UAE, has impacted her nation's education landscape. She earned a degree in English literature from UAE University, and in 1982, Eman was one of the first Emirati employed as an English teacher. She excelled in her career as a wife and mother.

Her passion for education led her to teach English to young learners in state schools. She also excelled as an English teacher in ESL and as the Head of the English Language Training Center at Abu Dhabi Oil Company (ADNOC), emphasizing linguistic proficiency and multicultural communication.

Eman was part of the inaugural team that founded Fatima College of Health Sciences, working closely with Professor Judy Wollin, the Head of the nursing program. The staff at Fatima College created an environment that nurtured academic excellence and personal growth in healthcare education. Her dedication to student welfare and success ensured the availability of resources for them to excel in their academic pursuits.

Eman's passion is to share knowledge and empower individuals through education. 

Judy Wollin lives in Brisbane, Australia and loves to write adventure stories with characters that leap off the page. All her stories could be real-life events but are the product of a vivid imagination.

She lived and worked in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, between 2006 and 2010, where she was the inaugural Head of School at the Fatima College of Health Sciences.

Eman and Judy's friendship began almost twenty years ago when they worked together.

Dr Judy travelled from Australia to the United Arab Emirates to work for Griffith University and the Abu Dhabi government to establish a college offering the Bachelor of Nursing. She was the first Head of School.

Eman, an Emirati woman with years of education experience, was also part of the original College staff. She was the Project Manager.

After working together, Eman and Judy identified the need for books that encouraged reluctant readers to read especially boys. Eman dreamed of books that included Emirati culture and Judy wanted action adventure books.

All the books include adventures include in they have done together and a pair of very vivid imaginations.
