Three Novellas in One Spicy Collection! When I met Federico on a crisp Halloween night, I thought it was just a one-night stand, nothing more. But that night changed everything. From the twinkling lights of Christmas in Rome to the dazzling skyline of Dubai on New Year’s Eve, Federico pulled me into his world—a life filled with grand gestures, relentless ambition, and a passion for the stage. As the star of his internationally acclaimed musical, I became more than his muse; I became his partner. But could our love survive the challenges and pressure of working together, balancing our ...

This book is about my travels in Egypt during the 2009-2011 time frame. It’s written rather differently though than my other books in that the bulk of the text are the letters to family and friends that I wrote while in Egypt, which lends somewhat of a more personal touch to the contents.

In December 1994, at a time of intense political initiative for peace in the Middle East, Bettina Selby set off on a journey from Cyprus to the Holy Land. Riding her bicycle wherever possible, she travelled through Lebanon, Syria and Jordan to Jerusalem. Her final destination was a city she knew and loved; so much so that the political turmoil of recent times had made her unwilling to return. Now spurred on by the Jordan/Israel peace treaty, and an audience with King HUssein, Bettina felt that perhaps at last a new perspective on Israel could be achieved. Over the next two months she ...

It all started back in October 2018 when I made, what I thought was going to be the finishing one, my last trip to Israel. Since my inceptive journey in 1987 with the first ministry I served with, Mahesh Chavda Ministries (living at the time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida), I had since that time made 19 trips to the Holy Land, the Promised Land of the Jews. This October 2018 trip was my 20th, and just prior to going I had decided it would be my last. A few months ahead of this trip, discouragement had come upon me, and I felt I could no longer continue the work of the ministry, Love For His ...

People have made their way to Jerusalem throughout the ages in many ways.Some have ridden in triumphantly as conquerors, others have come humbly on foot as pilgrims. Today many arrive coccooned in package holiday coaches. Bettina Selby did it the hard way - on a bicycle called Evans.

Nachdem die Söhne eigene Karrieren begonnen hatten, waren die Zeiten der Pflichterfüllung für Ida Pfeiffer vorbei: Sie wollte reisen! Und das tat sie.

This move proved an excellent one, as we enjoyed many happy years among friendly people.
