From Pen Name to the Real One | Author MB

I thought it was time for a little update in the news section! I’m excited to share that I’ve officially changed my author name from M. Phoenix, which graced the cover of my first publication, to Munazza Bangash—my real name.

I wanted to take a moment to explain why I initially chose a pseudonym and why, after much reflection, I’ve now chosen to embrace my real name. Here’s why!

Honestly, I’m feeling a mix of nerves and happiness right now. I’m almost at a loss for words… but if there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s this: I’m proud. Proud of the journey, the persistence, and the sheer effort it took to write and publish my first novel. With a zero budget, I faced a lot of challenges, but I never let that stop me—and I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come.

So, there you have it—Munazza Bangash it is!

Here’s what’s next on the to-do list:

1. Finish the first draft of my next book
