LIKE FIGS ON A HOT SUMMER DAY, Yusuf Khayat is slowly losing form. As he watches the people around him slowly beaten down by life and ambition, he concludes that it is easier to be disregarded than disappointed, rather a bystander than an accomplice.
But when a career induced shift turns him into a walking culture - shock, he has no option but to stand out while blending in.
OR...
A perpetual immigrant is suddenly forced to belong.

Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete

Arcadia: A Spicy Forbidden Romance
Abandoned in the French countryside with two strangers-my new stepfather, Jerome, and his son, Leon-I'm surrounded by beauty, yet utterly alone. But the countryside stirs something reckless in me. Jerome's quiet protectiveness shields me from the world... until his touch lingers too long. Leon's smoldering hatred for me tempts me to rebel... until his feelings for me border on something darker. Both men awaken desires I never knew existed-desires that thrill as much as they shame. Now every shared laugh, every lingering glance, blurs the lines we swore we'd keep. But the closer we grow, the clearer the truth becomes: there are lines not meant to be crossed. No matter how badly we want to.
