Great Expectations As A Picaresque

The burden of expectations

The Burden of Expectations – A Novel Introduction In the heart of Nigeria, where tradition and modernity often collide, two lives are set on a course neither of them could have foreseen. Zahra Muhammad Aliyu has always known her path. The last daughter of one of Kano’s wealthiest families, she has spent her life cloaked in discipline, dignity, and the quiet burden of expectation. Her mother, ever doting, whispers prayers of success into her ears, while her father, a man too busy building an empire to look back, assumes she will never falter. Medicine is her calling, and excellence is her duty. There is no room for distraction. No room for deviation. No room for someone like Kevin chidera Ikechukwu. Kevin is everything Zahra is not. A nursing student by choice and a Casanova by reputation, he walks through life with an ease she cannot understand. Where Zahra sees duty, he sees freedom. Where she clings to faith, he tests his own beliefs. He is Igbo, Christian, and reckless—three reasons she should never cross paths with him. But fate is not so easily dictated. When Zahra arrives at Lagos University of Nigeria, she steps into a world that challenges everything she knows. And when an infuriating encounter with Kevin marks the beginning of their story, she realizes that some battles are fought not with words but with the unspoken weight of expectation, pride, and something even more dangerous—curiosity. This is not a love story. Not yet. This is a story of identity, faith, ambition, and the unpredictable ways the heart defies reason. And it all begins the moment Zahra and Kevin meet.

As Silent As A Mouse

I am being hunted. Well, not me exactly. Someone wants to get their hands on the genius behind A.M.K Pharmaceuticals. They just don't know it's me. I have discovered a way to negate anyone's scent, shifter or human. You would think it wouldn't be that big of a deal... deodorants promise the same thing, but my product is nothing like that. My product turns its wearers invisible to shifters. No, not like that. But shifters need scent more than almost anything else to identify and find a person. Without scent, they can't track down their prey, or smell an enemy coming up from behind. I had originally created it so my adopted father and I could avoid the shifter community. No one was supposed to know about it. Until a little birdy said something they shouldn't have to the wrong person. Now the humans are after me and the shifters want me dead. But that's fine. That wasn't the only thing I came up with. And if I am as silent as a mouse, no one will see me coming until it is too late. This will be a RH novel, the FMC will not have to choose.

Reborn as a Girl?

Here I ask these questions of you. What if you were a modern man just happily living your life, and then all of a sudden you were not? Now instead you have died and been reborn into a medieval world full of big powerful men, as a small girl without anything to your name? How would you survive? How would you cope with being just a little girl? What sort of heights could you honestly hope to reach without seemingly having any overpowered cheats or systems or super powers to help you, just some advanced knowledge from your past and maybe something else? Well come and find out how a man named Bruce, a former undercover police officer tries to deal with this exact situation and his/her constantly developing body, developing meaning getting her first menstrual cycle at some point, which will lead to bleeding monthly from her private spot and other fun stuff and later she/he will begin slowly gaining more and more womanly curves and such things, you know woman stuff. Plus it happens in a Fantasy medieval world, on a large mostly unexplored island named Albion which is basically just England but not really much at all. ___________ Warning: The MC is not going to deal with all the challenges before him/her so well, and is most definitely not a genius or anything crazy at the start. So be prepared for some misunderstandings and a sort of Roller Coaster of comedy and drama as MC tries to find her/his place within this new world, create home of his/her own, maybe become wealthy, maybe change something in the world, maybe lead some people to glory or even try and change the entire world or even the Galaxy at large. Note: This is me trying to rewrite my other work with the same name. Basically after some thinking and forming this world of mine into a form that makes sense, I am goin to do this again, similar, but better.
