The Palace Of Angels

Synopsis:

“Angels bring us our hearts. And when a heart meets a heart, the eye sees no flaw…”

Palestine 2014, once again on the brink of war: Adnan is desperate to find his way out of the pre-dawn existence in the checkpoint queue. In the midst of a volatile turn of events, his eyes catch a shining soul through the yellow-lit darkness of the night. Her red nails match the blood that suddenly awakens his heart. As their life story would have it, she is an Israeli soldier. From that day, Adnan comes to realise his destiny is not written in stone and that he has choices to make. At the same time, his lifelong friend Ali is thrown the cruellest of fates and embarks down the long dark road of revenge. In the ensuing months, Adnan follows a number of terrifying paths and eventually chooses life.

The Palace Of Angels

Dear Readers & Visitors,

First of all I have to give out a special thanks to Jim Magnus, a former journalist of the West Australian (apparently when it was a real newspaper) for his long hours spent in my office, philosophising, editing, laughing, crying and not the least drinking lots of tea and coffee. Only I know how much that has meant to me.

And I am grateful from the core of my soul to those who shared and trusted me with it. Thank you. It’s been a long journey to get this far. For me as well as for you.

“Angels bring us our hearts. And when a heart meets a heart, the eye sees no flaw…”

Release date : 01 JULY 2018

The Book is available for pre-order on Kindle now and will available for pre-order in Paperback from Living In The Strange before going out to stores.

Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival

I’m still trying to get my head around summer in the southern hemisphere. That summer having passed is bizarre to me. My senses, emotions and actions are in spring mode. I’ve spent most of my life on the northern hemisphere and if anything that’s how my emotional body clock ticks. Is it changeable though? As I go through editing my latest novel from Israel-Palestine with my good friend Jim Magnus, I am also working on a few vignettes, short stories and essays. These are signs that tell me I’m in the mode of beginnings, of creation. However the changing light signals the opposite. Is this possible I ask myself? Is it possible that there is a difference? Who am I or what am I to add significance to such a triviality? Or is it?

The beginning of 2018 I will explore this and I will explore further living in the strange. The Egyptian-Arabic expression that describes living outside of Egypt, beyond the place where the sun sets. I continue to work on my autobiography and continue to talk to people about how we perceive who we are. How we look at our identity. I’m excited to venture to Margaret River for the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival as a guest speaker. It’s three days showcasing an array of storytelling talent. With more than 50 writers, journalists, illustrators and presenters readers join writers as stories are brought to life in many forms. I look forward to meeting writers such as Assaf Gavron whose writing offers insight and hope into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I can’t wait to hear the readers and their hopes and dreams and least but most importantly, answer their questions.

Check out the line-up here.

If you’re in Perth, make your way to Margaret River. It’s on the shores of the Indian Ocean, where the Souther Ocean muscles in. The air is cold and crisp I remember, the water clear and untamed. I look forward to seeing it again. It’s been more than a decade since I last visited. I look forward to meeting you.

First Giveaway Success!

Hello World,

🙂

The very first Giveaway here on Living In The Strange went well.

A big congratulations to David Schaafsma who will receive a signed copy of What Is Past Is Dead.

I’m really happy there were so many entries to this Giveaway. I have shifted Giveaways to my own website instead of as before, running them on Goodreads. The now owned by Amazon company, has gone absolutely haywire, charging a ridiculous amount of money to just run the Giveaways.

I use Goodreads and social media to send out the invitation for the Giveaway, also a reminder halfway through. When you receive the ‘event invitation’, please don’t respond. There is no need to.

Just follow the link, either in the text or event description, type in your email of choice and hit enter!

Once you have entered, you will receive a unique URL (link) that you can share. For every other time someone else enters the giveaway – from that link – you will receive an additional entry and your chance of winning increases!

Any comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Peace, Salaam in Arabic.
