Book 1 in Before Doomsday Series

A man fleeing Syria carries a secret capable of reshaping prophecy: the Aramaic copy of Saint John’s Revelation. A team of assassins hunts him across Europe, determined to silence him and destroy the manuscript before he can reveal it to the world.

Meanwhile, in the Levant, Western and Muslim armies line up next to each other in a shaky alliance ready to shatter at any moment. Among them, a radical Evangelical faction seeks to ignite Armageddon at Megiddo to hasten the Second Coming, while extremist jihadists push to unleash the Malhama against the “Romans.”

Caught between these forces, two low-ranking officers—Muslim Abdul-Wahid and Irishman Sean Devlin—race to stop the coming catastrophe. Both know the odds are slim, yet they also know that success would change the course of history.

My short story; The Tidy Wife is available for preorder.
Book Description:

When I moved into my new neighborhood, I thought I had finally built the perfect life—successful, ambitious, and ruthless enough to push every rival aside. I was enjoying my triumph when I met Fatima. And soon, what began as curiosity became something far deeper, a journey that stripped away my pride, greed, and cruelty and showed me what it truly means to live. I thought I was helping Fatima—but in truth, she was the one who saved me.



The Tidy Wife: A Short Story

"Great and first in many things, Charleston. And so, I’ll give you the honor to conquer before all."
Leo Quinn, the last White man in the New Confederacy
Charleston, 2049

There is more than one gene responsible for skin color. The genes of white skin color are activated in the white man while those of the black are inactive.

Leo Quinn, a black NASA expert, used this to invent a ray that could make recessive genes for skin color dominant.

Before 2049, white supremacists gained full control in the southern states of America and formed the New Confederate States, still without seceding from the Union. They deported the Blacks to Africa and lynched those who resisted. It was then that Quinn started his project that could change history.

Quinn knew that the majority of the Whites refused racism. But his philosophy of collective punishment was that they, too, deserved it as they chose silence when injustice was practiced against others, not themselves.

When the test on himself worked and he became white, Quinn broadcasted the ray from a tiny satellite to the South while they were preparing to celebrate Liberty Day after the last cargo of deported Blacks would leave Charleston. Whites began to transform into Blacks, and then the cases spread like wildfire until the entire South turned into a black nation.

Quinn became the last white man in the South. And when the FBI knew who he was, a wolf hunt ran after him to discover what spared his skin color in the hope of finding the cure.

My new novel:
The Last Day of Sodom

A Novel based on the story of Sodom in the Old Testament and the Quran.

odom, the big sister of four wicked cities, shows itself as the evil incarnated. It assaults every weak man. Its people feel themselves superior and they hate strangers, yet they love to enjoy them. Sodom’s king and eight magistrates are the summit of injustice. The army raids other countries to plunder them and to bring men and boys to satisfy the lust of the notables. Gangsters roam in Sodom with deadly names, including Kabiata The Fox, Abiya The Bear, Aduna The Wolf.

The city continues its sins until one day three strangers; all clean-shaven with soft, white skins arrive at the city and stay at the house of Lot, the prophet. The city becomes excited, hearing about them. The king and the magistrates send the royal guards to get the three strangers. The people want to get the strangers and resist the soldiers. The gangs fight the people and the soldiers and each other. But the three strangers turn out to be angels the Lord of Lot has sent to achieve a disastrous task in the city.

In addition to a short prologue about texts, facts and opinions related to the story of Sodom and its era, three appendices are included at the end of the novel: The story of Sodom in the Old Testament, the story in the Quran and notes on the context and the interpretations of the latter.

A short description:
A downpour turns a stream into a raging torrent, cutting the bottom of a mysterious hill and revealing its secrets to Siamand, the young shepherd. The stream does its work, then hides the cut after some years when Siamand’s life has changed to directions of which he never thought.
So far, Siamand is destined to live out his life as a shepherd to the Agha of the village. And now he decides to follow his dreams of wealth.
He embarks on a journey of fate—one that leads him to the worldly riches he craves, then others that ultimately teach him of love, friendships, and what truly matters in life.
Siamand finds that magic can be both advantageous and corrupt, and he must use all his wits to come out of it unscathed.
Joined by his best friend Juha, his dog, and a wayward donkey, he will change the course of not only their lives, but everyone’s in the village.
