They say belief is suicide. They're not wrong. Where I come from, faith gets you a bullet in the head, a knock at the door that never ends well, or a name etched on a list you'll never live to see. Still, I believe. So does Basil, my only constant in a world stripped of everything soft. We've been hunted for years, slept under stone, eaten from dirt, prayed in secret, and watched good people vanish for whispering the wrong words. We've made it all these years with nothing but our prayers and each other. But then came the rumour about a sanctuary where the believers can live fearlessly. A lie, probably. A trap, almost definitely. Basil wanted to chase it anyway, because we owed it to ourselves and to the others who share our struggle, he said. I went with him only because I couldn't bear to watch him go alone. I should've stopped him... But now it's too late. ❝Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers(Ghuraba).❞ ‹بَدَأَ الإِسْلاَمُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ› (Includes books one, two and three in The Ghuraba Trilogy.)

A Book of Poetry, pretty self explanatory.

When the mountains begin to crumble, and the rivers run no more, Do the people seek ambition? Do they still seek to settle scores? Can this man save his forest? Can thieves give up a prize? Does fire burn the woman, who can not see through lies? Can a land be saved from destruction? When a wish is heavily tied , to the promise of any fantasy, one can dream with closed eyes. The players have all been chosen, who will win can not be said, but one thing is for certain, they will not win without bloodshed.

They Never Said It Would Be Easy follows Gianna as she navigates through life as a young adult. Her life as been easy thus far. She has the perfect friends, perfect family, and lands the perfect guy. But when reality strikes and her life seems to be anything but perfect, she has to decide whether to follow her head or her heart in her journey to conquer true love. Will she choose the safe, nice guy that will give her the stability she needs? Or will she choose the fun, spontaneous guy that pushes her out of her comfort zone? Gianna will have to decide if her past will lead her to happiness or if it is only a stepping stone to something greater. Cover by @Hibiscus_sagga99

[Complete - 3/28/2021] Charles Henlock was on vacation in France with his family when he fell in love with Audrine. When it was time to return to Nevada, he gave her his heart and promised that he'd write to her. Little did he know that every time he sent a letter to Audrine, his parents would intercept it and hide it with all of the other unsent letters to stop them from being together. Fifty-seven years later, Charles became Grandpa Charlie and that box of letters became a dirty secret of his past. Until he finds himself on his deathbed. He asks his granddaughter to get the letters to Audrine, hoping that they could give her some closure after almost six decades of silence from the only man she'd ever loved. Maisie isn't used to doing things without her parents permission, but she is determined to fulfill her grandpa's last wish. Hoping that along the way, she'll learn more about her grandpa's past, she starts on her journey to the South of France to find Charlie's long lost love. When she discovers that Audrine also became a grandparent to a very handsome man, she starts to realize that history may be repeating itself. Will she break the cycle and follow her heart, or is she doomed to follow in her grandfather's footsteps? Editors: @sofiagv_writes @RainCloudHannah and @Biatchxpurlease Cover: @apagado

Ellie has a secret. It's not exactly a big secret (at least not from her friends) but it's not a secret she cares to indulge in too often because she knows how it makes her look - like an eccentric fan, who doesn't have a life and really has nothing better to do than daydream all day about Nolan Taylor, the next up and coming music star. At least to Ellie, he is the next big thing. So yes, that means she is one of many fan girls out there, totally mesmerised by everything he says and does. There's just the small matter that she daren't put out there: she is definitely; completely; almost certainly, in love with him. As crazy as it sounds, it's true and the only person in the world she can trust to not give her grief about it, is her newest best friend, AJ. Only problem is, she lives miles away in Ireland. As does Nolan. When AJ offers her the chance to finally visit her, she jumps at the chance, not realising she has a secret of her own - for Ellie to finally meet her one true love. Not that Ellie would ever let herself fall for Nolan for real, given he is not only out of her league, but also five years her junior. Still, it's not long before Ellie finds herself in the midst of a tough decision: give into the feelings that she knows are true or fight against them, knowing that they could never possibly work. Or could they?

"My dad was lying unconscious on the bed, amidst the mess of various things, and my mom and brother were not in the room. Instead... they were inside the huge mirror that was hanging in front of the bed, with ...with ...my sister, Sami. Their eyes bored into mine and the devilish grins on their faces reflected their intentions. And they weren't looking happy." When my dad told my family about our surprise vacation in the country, I wasn't very happy. I hated surprises; they were never good. But the one person who wasn't pleased with this, decided to stay back, alone. I wasn't okay with her being alone either. And I was right. I should've known it was her. I know I should've done something about it. But I didn't. And that one mistake almost resulted in my demise. #1 in Best Blurb- Fall Hearts Awards #3 in Horror/Paranormal- The Summer Smoothie Awards #1 in Best Matching Cover (The credit goes to @-StarKat- )- Fall Hearts Awards #2 in Underrated Books- Fall Hearts Awards #2 in Fall Hearts Awards

Maren Headly was a starving artist type in a big city. She loved creating music and performing it for the niche crowd of fans she acquired over the years, even if it meant her bank account was always desolate. Before the letters started, she loved the attention of being on stage and letting her emotions flow into the lyrics. Before the break-ins and threats, she dreamed of having die hard fans that would do anything to know her. But once she got a taste of that reality, of always feeling like somebody was there, watching, Maren started to wonder if her dreams had gotten her in way over her head. And if she could even make it out alive. ** Paperback version available at https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/writerbug44**

That's no secret. But a lot of the hard things in life are kept secret. Is that why life's so hard? I find poetry to be the best way to tell a story. It's less statement and more expression. This book is a pattern of poetry painting the picture of a story that's been waiting to be expressed. It's dark. It's frightening. It's real. And it's only a fraction of the full truth. Life doesn't like to be explained. Sometimes life changes, and change doesn't always make sense.
