Wie unerschöpflich und farbenprächtig der May'sche Orient ist, zeigen in diesem Band sieben moderne Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftsteller - darunter die Bestsellerautorin Tanja Kinkel mit der Titelgeschichte "Tochter der Wüste" - als Hommage an Karl Mays immer wieder faszinierende literarische Schöpfung. Unter Verwendung seiner Schauplätze und Figuren sind zehn neue Geschichten entstanden, die die May'schen Orient-Abenteuer weiterführen sowie neue Facetten seiner Helden und moderne Einblicke in arabische Gepflogenheiten vermitteln. Kara Ben Nemsi behandelt in der Sahara einen medizinischen Notfall. Kara und Halef entdecken ein geheimnisvolles Tal in den kurdischen Bergen, wo sich ein Freiheitskämpfer der Aramäer versteckt. Außerdem muss Sir David Lindsay die Ehre des britischen Empires im Harem eines Sultans im Oman verteidigen. Karl May hätte diese Anthologie Spaß gemacht, und wir sind uns sicher, dass auch die Leserinnen und Leser diese Geschichten mit viel Freude genießen werden. Die Verfasser/innen: Karl-Ulrich Burgdorf Hubert Hug Tanja Kinkel Thomas Le Blanc Monika Niehaus Bianca M. Riescher Alexander Röder "Mit Karl Mays Romanen habe ich als junge Leserin erstmals gelernt, was es bedeutet, erfundene Charaktere so gut wie Freunde kennen und lieben zu lernen, und sich von fremden Welten faszinieren zu lassen. Als Autorin bereitet es mir auch Jahrzehnte später Vergnügen, sich die Geschöpfe seiner Phantasie durch die Brille meiner eigenen Imagination zu betrachten. Als Leserin und Autorin ist es ein Genuß, die Geschichten von damals mit dem Wissen von heute weiter zu erzählen." Tanja Kinkel

Thrilling Fusion of Suspense and Sapphic Longing: Blood and Muscle Delivers with Depth and Desire
Format: Kindle
Elle Alexandra delivers a masterfully woven tale of suspense and romance in Blood and Muscle, a novel that seamlessly balances pulse-pounding tension with deeply felt emotional intimacy. Set against the stark yet breathtaking backdrop of Cedar Falls, Wyoming, this story immerses readers in a world where danger and desire are inextricably linked, and where trust is both a luxury and a necessity.
At the heart of the novel are Ava Bedford, a reluctant fugitive thrust into witness protection after witnessing a murder tied to a powerful political figure, and Sheriff Lou Harman, a woman whose life is defined by structure, solitude, and an unwavering sense of duty. Their dynamic is as compelling as it is electrifying, Ava’s sharp wit and warmth slowly chipping away at Lou’s carefully maintained defenses, creating a relationship that simmers with slow-burning intensity.
Alexandra’s character work is nothing short of exquisite. Both Ava and Lou are richly developed, imbued with layers of vulnerability, resilience, and undeniable magnetism. Their interactions feel organic, their chemistry electric, and their individual arcs deeply satisfying. The town of Cedar Falls, too, becomes more than just a setting, it breathes with its own quiet menace and rugged charm, a place of both refuge and lurking danger.
The novel’s pacing is expertly handled, with the tension mounting in a way that keeps readers perpetually on edge. Alexandra deftly balances moments of tender introspection with sequences of gripping suspense, ensuring that neither the romance nor the thriller elements overshadow the other. The prose is fluid, evocative, and often poetic, drawing readers deeper into the world she has so carefully crafted.
If there is one minor drawback, it is the at-times subtle transition between the protagonists’ perspectives. While both Ava and Lou’s voices are distinct, a more clearly delineated shift in POV would have further enhanced the reading experience, offering even greater immersion into their respective inner worlds. However, this is a small quibble in an otherwise exceptional novel.
Blood and Muscle is a triumph, an intoxicating blend of romance, intrigue, and raw emotion. It is a testament to the power of resilience, the fragility of trust, and the courage it takes to love in the face of uncertainty. Elle Alexandra has crafted a story that lingers long after the final page, making this a must-read for fans of sapphic fiction who crave both heart-pounding suspense and soul-stirring romance.

Ava witnesses a murder of a congressman and is forced into witness protection and relocated to Cedar falls. This is where she meets sheriff Lou. Chapter 1 had me quickly drawn in as it starts with Ava witnessing the murder after her shift. The tension was palpable. The writing was perfect.
I really enjoyed this book. The crime/mystery along with the romance made the story intriguing. Lou and Ava slowly start to develop a beautiful relationship with undeniable chemistry. There is just enough angst that had me stuck wanting to know how the book was going to end. Towards the middle of the book we get Lou’s backstory which pulled at my heartstrings. She went through so much as a child which explained why she was so closed off as an adult. The spice was sweet and well written. This book gave me all the feels. It’s fun, mysterious, intense, emotional and hot. I feel so much happened in 300 pages and I still craved more. The ending was wrapped up perfectly with a HEA. Lastly, I was so happy to see chapters titles! Seems to be a rare occurrence these days.

Perfect debut novel!
Format: Kindle
I had no idea this was Ms. Elle's first official debut! Story was lovely and the flow harmonious...the only indication of the author being British was the reference to an already described sweater as a jumper...but since I love British authors it only added to the charm. No real angst and not really what I would classify as a slow-burn (rather a realistic relationship timeline) made for a quick read! Can't wait to read what she writes next!!

Great read.
Format: Kindle
Once I started this book I kept reading. I enjoyed the story and complex issue bys with both characters, especially with the never having been with another woman for Lou. In this day of self publishing I commend you there were no errors. I will, anxiously, await your next body of work. Thank you for the great read.

Unputdownable!!!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This is about Cami, at seventeen years old her family home was broken into and her life tragically changed forever. Eleven years later and she's finally living as normal of a life as she can despite the trauma, when she receives an anonymous phone call with a cryptic message asking if she would like a "do over". Then she receives a link to a video of a boy trapped in a room with bars on the windows and she is told she has 4 days to find him. Her heart stops when she sees the boy's face because he looks so familiar, but it couldn't be what she's thinking, could it? She knows she needs to help him but was told she can't contact the police, so the next best thing she can think of is an old classmate named Rex who she remembered did something in the military with computers. Now Cami and Rex are on a race against time to figure out the secret location of where the video is coming from and where this little boy is being kept before it's too late. But there is so much more than they realize going on and they uncover more and more secrets along the way, the little boy is just the beginning of what they're about to unravel about their past and their futures.
This book was truly unputdownable! It captures your attention right from the first chapter and keeps you on the edge of your seat, grasping for answers while finding out secrets that only lead to more questions. I had no idea where this story was going or how it was going to end, and I loved that I couldn't predict what was going to happen. It had suspense, trauma, mystery, heartbreak, loss, healing, romance, found family, second chances, and a happy ending. (*Please make sure to check trigger warnings, it also does have dark topics.) Everything from the beginning to the ending was so well done, so much thought was put into these characters, their back stories, the connections, even down to the details. Five stars doesn't feel like enough for this book, Mia absolutely blew me away with this story! Books like this are why I love to read! ❤️📚
