I know places.antonelli
She never believed in the old theory: that loving a city you've never seen meant someone was already waiting for you there. Cities were stone and streets, not destiny. Yet destiny proved her wrong.

A Formula One driver, racing under her father's team, moving too fast for the rules that bound them. Their love was never meant to exist. Forbidden by bloodlines, by loyalty, by a world that demanded silence. Two hearts that had known each other forever, suddenly asked to forget. This is the story of a love that learned to whisper instead of speak. Of stolen glances and secrets held too close to the chest.

DANIEL DERONDA (Completed)
Daniel Deronda is a novel by George Eliot, first published in 1876. It was the last novel she completed and the only one set in the contemporary Victorian society of her day. The work's mixture of social satire and moral searching, along with its sympathetic rendering of Jewish proto-Zionist and Kabbalistic ideas, has made it the controversial final statement of one of the most renowned of Victorian novelists. The novel has been adapted for film three times, once as a silent feature and twice for television.Complete
God's Country
Britain, before the European referendum, a sliding doors moment. The political system is collapsing and a new party emerges with a strong Christian ethos, proposing radical social change. But they are just a tiny voice, extremists, and no one takes them seriously, until 2 general elections in barely six months changes everything. This is the story of a revolution and the people driving it and the people suffering from it. Love, hate, passion, deception, thrills and spills. Originally written before Covid or Brexit, this novel had several publishers interested for a while. It is my nod to Margaret Atwood, my Gilead tribute. But this could happen...Complete
