Real Locations Feature

Books That Take You Somewhere Real.

For me, the places I set my stories, is as important as the characters. I travel to (almost) every place, and work hard to capture the essence of it in my writing. Right here, from Giza to Kathmandu, and Berlin to Morocco, you can explore the places behind the books.

Cambodia

A land of ancient temples and profound resilience that promises to leave a lasting mark on you.

Kathmandu

The city that inspired by first novel. A place of chaos, colour and spirituality where people go to get lost... just some never come back.

Egypt

5,000 years of history, etched in stone for you to discover.

Hong Kong

Where neon-lit futures meet ancient traditions, and the energy is contagious.
