Sinopsis

RUNNER-UP: Comedy Women in Print Prize
Paris, 1940. The course of Fatiha Bin-Khalid's life is changed forever when she befriends the Muslim feminist Doria Shafik. But after returning to Egypt and dedicating years to the fight for women's rights, she struggles to reconcile her political ideals with the realities of motherhood.
Cairo, 1966. After being publicly shamed when her relationship with a bisexual boyfriend is revealed, Fatiha's daughter is faced with an impossible decision. Should Yasminah accept a life she didn't choose, or will she leave her home and country in pursuit of independence?
Bristol, 2011. British-born Nadia is battling with an identity crisis and a severe case of herpes. Feeling unfulfilled (and after a particularly disastrous one-night stand), she moves in with her old-fashioned Aunt Yasminah and realises that she must discover her purpose in the modern world before it's too late.
Following the lives of three women from the Bin-Khalid family, Daughters of the Nile is an original and darkly funny novel that examines the enduring strength of female bonds. These women are no strangers to adversity, but they must learn from the past and relearn shame and shamelessness to radically change their futures.

    All's fair in love and war . . . until you're forced into an RV with your ex. 
     
     
     
    Amelia: I had it all; a loving marriage, an adorable dog, and plans to build the home of our dreams in idyllic Sweetkiss Creek. Moving here meant we focused on us, and starting a family, but those dreams came crashing down when Spencer made the choice to go back to Hollywood and left me flying solo. 
     
     
     
    Christmas snowflakes fall, fate jingles its bells, and my estranged movie star husband returns for the reading of my late aunt's will. But it's not just legal matters and tinsel-covered nerves that he brings; oh no, this man is on a mission—to unwrap the gift of a second chance with me. 
     
     
     
    Spencer: On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me: Divorce papers. Now, I'm on a yuletide quest to win back my leading lady. You know, sugar plums, mistletoe, and all the festive feels dancing in my head like an over-the-top rom-com montage. 
     
     
     
    Comical to think that an RV we inherit could become the sleigh to propel us back together, with a sprinkle of redemption and a dash of eggnog-induced chaos, of course. Could this be the holiday miracle I'm hoping for?

    When she was just five years old, Melissa Braxton watched her father take her mother's life. Separated from her sister, Lola, at that time, Melissa grew up with a strong desire to help those stuck in abusive relationships. It's why she became a therapist and opened a domestic abuse shelter. 
     
    After losing a leg to a gunshot wound in the line of duty, Phil Osbourne has felt like a man without a purpose--until he hears Melissa's story and decides to use his Special Forces contacts to track down her missing sister. He knows what he discovers will break Melissa's heart. What he doesn't realize is that helping the women reunite will bring the cartel down on them like the category 5 hurricane striking Miami. 
     
    Bruised yet not quite broken, Melissa and Phil battle the storm and the cartel, calling on strength they didn't know they had to escape death, save the innocent, and--just maybe--find healing in each other's arms.

Entering service in his castle as the Least Jester, she must find a way to earn her wings while navigating the hazards of cupcakes, tea demons, and the occasional Earth dragons. My Sister's Song: Fantasy and history and subversive strategy collide in this Roman-era tale of a warrior, Mithra, who must repel an entire legion alone and armed only with a very peculiar weapon. Her sticky solution to this impossible problem must be heard to be believed. Featuring performances by fellow fantasy writers Philippa Ballantine, Chris Lester, and Tee Morris, as well as an original soundtrack by composer Danny Schade.
