The Forbidden Affairs of Buckingham Palace
Mary, a seventeen-year-old living in a crime-ridden neighbourhood in London with her mum, is about to embark on the financially efficient journey that is not going to college.
Considering Mary and her mum are shit broke and nobody could give a rat's arse about their dire circumstances, matters had to be taken into God's hands.
While Mary's out for a breath of fresh air one heaven-sent morning, a newspaper smacks her straight in the face with a headline that would change the course of her life forever:
'QUEEN CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PERSONAL MAID. WILL PAY £25000 A YEAR.'
Join Mary as she sets out on an adventure in Buckingham palace, forging unlikely bonds, unravelling secrets, and witnessing firsthand the most absurd leisure activities of the longest living monarch in the world. This novel is perfect for lovers of irreverent British humour with a royal twist and is an enduring reminder that sometimes one can get away with something without risking a royal lawsuit.
100 Nights in Beirut
Beirut, 1982. A newly assigned police officer, Adam, knows nothing about his origins, except his first name. Having suffered from a bomb that hit Beirut six years prior, he suffered a devastating head injury, cursing him with retrograde amnesia ever since, forcing him to reside in the Islamic Orphanage against his will. Now, at 20 years of age, he lives in the Emile Helou police station quarters, the home of many Lebanese orphans before him. Single, childless, perfectly replaceable men.
In the summer of 1982, he experiences an unexpectedly intimate encounter with a stranger at a party in Ain El Mraiseh, one of Beirut’s poshest neighborhoods, which marks the beginning of his troubled daily thoughts and sleepless nights, prompting him to search for the woman he believes to be the key to revealing his past and interpreting his visions.
Beirut, 1976. When a house is struck by an explosion killing many innocent children, a woman retreats into hiding, away from the prying eyes of the world, after being haunted with never-ending regret.
What happens when an unexpected siege on Beirut six years later forces her out of hiding to ask for redemption for her sins, and help a cause which, unbeknownst to her, will also help one young man find the answers he’s looking for?
