    Born to a family of artists known for their literary interests, Fairouz, an English Literature student from Syria was well known for her work in Arabic poetry, theatre, short stories, performance and local journalism long before the Syrian war began. As the Arab Spring reaches her town, she realises her life is transforming into a blockbuster movie before her very eyes, and so decides to document it with an unflinching honesty and rawness. Frequently described as the Syrian Anne Frank by pan Arab media, Fairouz Abdalla’s diary Lipsticks and Bullets takes us on an exclusive trip into her politically-charged world, from the hipsters on the historic roads of Hama to the upper class circles in the bourgeoisie private clubs of Damascus. Inspired by revolts in Tunisia and emboldened by Libya’s dissidents, Fairouz and her activist friends dream of a revolution and a Syria free from the rule of the tyrannical Bashar al-Assad and his minions. But revolutions are not so easily achieved, as she soon discovers.The spirited young beauty, the daughter of a Christian and a Muslim only has eyes for a handsome bachelor from the esteemed and well-connected Atassi family. The pastel-eyed engineer and member of the Arab student movement who stole her heart is swiftly torn away from her, seemingly forever. Fairouz faces losing all that she loves – Syria is a dangerous place for an activist ­– and especially for a woman. Fairouz must fight not just for a Syrian revolution, but also for the lives of her loved ones, herself, and against the growing nightmare that are western Jihadists.As the Arab spring turns to winter, Syria’s citizens will learn that nothing—not war, not politics, not even religion—can tear them apart. Together, they remain defiant and insist on keeping humour and hope alive. From Syria to Sweden, Istanbul, and Damascus, Lipsticks and Bullets is an intimate tale of love and adventure, by a celebrated Arab author who is a powerful witness to the terror and horror wrought by Assad, Iran and Russia on the lives and souls of Syrians. It is a vivid exploration of Middle Eastern culture, Romance, Islamic extremism, class conflict, and social activism. Syria's story is her story.

    One with countless accolades behind him.Now, he’s been relegated to oversee the Debiraan Embassy on Earth, a planet whose humans are ungrateful and ignorant of the risk they’d faced had he and his people not saved them from the threat of the Baza.The only good that had come of it, and he used that term loosely, was that these humans were reproductively compatible with his species, offering his fellow Debir’s hope that whatever the Baza had done to dwindle their population could be overcome.Still, he has no desire for such things, or worse...to find his huerta -his other half-, something all Debirs long for and cherish above all else.He isn’t sure what’s worse: that he found his huerta...or that she’s human.Such a thing should not be possible. Yet, the more he tries to deny it, the stronger the pull towards her, and he’s losing the battle to keep himself away.LeilaThe Debir had invaded Earth. Well, that’s what people said anyways. Leila wasn’t so sure, although she’d been one of the lucky ones who didn’t have her life upheaved at the revelation that aliens do exist.A chance walk has her coming to the aid of a Debir in need, an event that all but turns her life completely upside down.Suddenly, she can’t get a certain seven-foot tall, gray-skinned and golden-eyed Debir Commander out of her thoughts. What’s worse, there’s a song in her head that is apparently known as the Calling. Like some sort of guaranteed biological match-making service.No thank you.There is no love at first sight or instant compatibility, and she certainly had no need for a husband or partner. If only fate would cooperate.A security threat now has her stuck with a bunch of other humans. On a ship. In space. His ship.She isn’t sure what’s worse: that she’s experiencing the Calling for a man she doesn’t even know...or that he’s just as frustrated about being Called to her as she is. This is the first novel-length story in The Warriors of Debiraan series. All future novels in the series can be read as a stand-alone but will still be inter-connected. HEA guaranteed.If you’re looking for a semi slow-burn steamy story about strong, independent women and the sexy alien men, then you will not be disappointed.
