"History rapidly turns into myth, and perhaps one of the pleasures of reading an historical novel is to discover the truth behind the myth."

The Author
Hi, I'm N.S. Elizabeth
N.S. Elizabeth is the author of The Forbidden Affairs of Buckingham Palace and 100 Nights in Beirut. After growing up in the desert-city of Dubai and the enchanting "Paris of the Middle East", she now lives in Canada with her husband and an owl sculpture named Winky.
When she's not crafting tales of absurdity, love, and the occasional secret affair, she sips tea from porcelain cups — like the posh queen she believes herself to be.
Praise for The Forbidden Affairs of Buckingham Palace
★★★★★
"For people who enjoy humor and sarcasm, this book is definitely written for you! It is written in a way that it truly makes you laugh all the way through. Being hooked from the first paragraph, I enjoyed every page and sentence of it."
— Jana K.
★★★★★
"I was hooked from the first line. To be honest, I'm laughing as I type this because I'm remembering the hilarious opening paragraph. Like even if you don't read the entire book, you HAVE to read the first paragraph at LEAST! The protagonist is so relatable, from her yellow teeth to her sneaky tendencies. The book contained much adult humor which I absolutely LOVED!"
— Gail
★★★★★
"The book was hilarious and enjoyable, it's relatable to teenagers since the main character is 17. I enjoyed the Harry Potter references ;)."
— Rawan
★★★★★
"It is absolutely excellent and well written. If you're the type of person who enjoys sarcasm and humor, then trust me, this is a book you must have on your bookshelf. I honestly enjoyed reading every single bit of this book, knowing that I managed to finish it in less than a day and most importantly, I didn't get bored while reading it, not even once!"
— Dina
★★★★★
"The story gripped me from the start because of how unusual and sarcastic it is, which you don't see a lot in fiction nowadays. It combines elements of love, mentorship and a contrast between young and old in a very touching way that'll leave you smiling down at it as if it were a baby chicken. Speaking of chickens, in this story, N.S. Elizabeth made me look at them in a very different light, a light of bravery and courage that stems from maternal love, rather than cowardice, which is normally how this poor creature is viewed."
— Nelly S.
★★★★★
"The book was actually pretty good that I managed to read it all in less than two days. The author's style of writing tends to sarcasm for the majority yet was able to do so using strong English words and I liked that. The cohesion of the whole writing and flow of the events were pretty great too! It's also very addicting to read and once you do you cannot stop due to cliffhangers at the very end of each chapter. Highly recommended!!"

About N.S. Elizabeth
Welcome, dear reader
If you've found yourself on this side of the Internet — you're in for a treat.
My name is N.S. Elizabeth (or my pen name, at least).
I knew at the age of 14 that I wanted to be an author.
Of course, early on — at the age of 8, when I first discovered Steve Irwin, the great Australian zookeeper — I wanted to be an adventurer.
But life is funny that way, and I found that being an author is a lot less of a linear path. An adventure in and of itself.
So I stuck to it. Clinging to it in the hopes it would not just ease my mind but also add a much-needed source of income.
Fortunately for me, I've managed to work my way up to becoming a 2x NYT Worstselling Author in 2018 AND 2025.
And since then I've been working my way up the ranks — even hurling a 4-year scholarship to a Top Canadian university into the sea, just to pursue this.
WHY did I do all this? Well, it's easy.
I am on the search for truth.
I want to understand this world, the people in it, and myself. And writing is one way to unearth universal truths in a way that is less pointed than going to therapy and making yourself feel awful for $150/hr.
And so I write, hoping one day to garner the attention of the wage-slave masses whom I have so much in common with (especially the slave part).
"If you'd like to take a peek at my books, they're on the next page :)"

100 Nights in Beirut
Echoes of 1982
Adam, a young police officer stationed in West Beirut — the Muslim side of the Green Line — remembers nothing of his past. After a traumatic head injury from a bomb, he was left to grow up in the Islamic Orphanage and forced to grapple with a new life in which he feels out of place.
As talks of war with Israel run rampant on every street corner, an unexpected, intimate encounter with a woman at a party triggers flashbacks of his parents and questions about his origins he can no longer ignore. Adam sets out to uncover the truth about his family, only to stumble upon The White Doves — an all-female resistance group tied to the woman he loves, and a shadow from his past willing to do anything to keep the truth buried, even if it means losing him forever.
