For many years I have been intrigued by the multi-faceted life of Alexandra David-Neel who lived from 1868 to 1969. She lived for nearly one hundred and one years - years rich with adventure and mystery. Alexandra was a student radical in her youth, and went on to have a career as an opera singer, later becoming a feminist journalist who journeyed to India, Tibet and China. At the age of 55 she trekked incognito to the "forbidden city" of Lhasa, Tibet enduring incredible hardships. She produced thirty books including "My Journey to Lhasa" and "Magic and Mystery in Tibet." Her life and writings had a profound influence on the Beat culture and the emergence of American Buddhism.

"Incognito: A Novel of Alexandra David-Neel" is a fictional work in progress. To confuse matters further, it is told from two different points of view - "Beyond the Garden Gate" is third person while "Alexandra" is first person point of view.All Rights Reserved

After her parents death, adventure lover Drisana has been travelling around the world to find peace in her heart which has always been missing. But things take a drastic change when she comes to visit the place that her parents belonged to, where she was born. One moment she was in the basement of her parental house and the next she somehow tumble through a energy portal to 5157 years back in time in the Dwapar yug, badly injured, right on the hands of the legendary heroes of Mahabharat, Pandavs. What is she doing there? How she reached from Kaliyug to Dwapar yug and why? Many more things are running through her mind and all she got from the mortal disguise of Lord Narayan, Krishna is, "Tum etihas ka hissa nahi balki etihas rachne aayi ho. Apni vaggya ka racaita tum khud ho. " (You're not part of the history. Rather you have come to create the history. You're the writer of your own destiny.) *********** Familiar with the Mahabharat? Don't worry if you're not. I've added a short description of the original Mahabharat plot in the book for those. This story will follow the original mahabharat storyline but in a vastly different way with a lot of twists and events in my style. 😉 I'm aware Mahabharat holds religious sentiments for some and I do not INTEND to offend anyone.

Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Princess by darkhybrid13

When world-famous singer Taylor Swift and rebel Princess Alexandra Habsburg meet at a charity gala in London, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. Both are burdened with fame and public expectations, but amidst the glitz and appearances, they discover a deeper connection. As they navigate media scandal, forbidden love, and internal struggles, Taylor and Alexandra must decide if they are willing to break the rules of duty and tradition to live an authentic life and love freely, even if it means facing the consequences of defying the world. ps.Chatgpt helped me with the description of this because I'm very bad with that. It doesn't follow any timeline of Taylor's life, I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with her, in fact I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with everything, so don't take any of this seriously, it's just literature and not even good literature.

The girl with golden hair (Harry Potter fanfic) by Papillon98

When a boy, who's already lost everything, and a girl, who can't help but question what she has, meet, it's like destiny itself brought the two together. Artemis Lupin is a young witch with an air of charm and sarcasm. She has a way of getting on your nerves yet you can't help but like her. But underneath that seemingly 'open book' lies a girl who never belonged. Even though she's supposed to be a member of a high status pureblooded family, she's always had trouble adapting to their rules. Nobody knows exactly how much she's struggling with herself and the nightmare that never seems to go away. As she tries to prevent her friend from getting killed because of his dangerous curiousity and disability to think ahead, she gets sucked more and more into the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. ~~~~ The girl with golden hair is the first book in the Artemis Lupin series. She was used to investigating mysteries on her own. People were untrustworthy. They lied. They tried to change the past. But the past couldn't be changed. Her own past was complicated. Especially because she wasn't the one hiding it, it was kept from her. For a good reason, they thought. The dream was her only lead. The only way to figure it all out. The dream was simply the end of a curse and the beginning of a nightmare. Because some secrets are better kept secret. The web of lies and deceit only got more complicated. Familymembers talked out of turn. The wise man was far too interested and the dark saw the truth in her eyes. Because her dream was simply the story. The story of betrayal, friendship but mostly death. But the thing that could ruin it all, was the very thing they couldn't change. It was the only truth in the past of lies. Her grey eyes and his black blood. ~Completed on June 20 2016~ (*Disclaimer* all rights go to J.K. Rowling. You can read this without having read the book.)

1 - The Pearl of Life - Life Detection by VioletMelody15

"Let me introduce you to the rest of the girls," Sky says, pointing to the other end of the table."There's Rose, Molly, Tia, Alexandra, and Sage. I think you will like them. Rose is probably around your age, I think you'll like her. Alexandra is the oldest. I call her Alex, but she doesn't like people calling her that." "Does everyone spend time together?" I ask curiously. "We do most of the time, after our chores are done. We usually get them done pretty fast since there's not much to do. We like to spend time in the meadow outside. When it rains we play games in the main room." Sky explains. ~~~ When I find myself abandoned in an orphanage, I don't know what to think. Somehow I don't remember my life at all, and I only have my name and a magical wand to lead the way. I soon discover I am part of a magical community, and being invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry gets me one step closer to discovering who I am and where I came from.
