In the Realm of Neither
Verily, He causes the sustenance to descend upon me, and I see Him flowing through the whale in the water and through the bird in the sky.—(Shaykh Abul al-Hasan al-Shadhili), written 2006, during the summer Lebanese/Israeli war atrocity, (unpublished)

Abdallah Jones and the Disappearing-Dust Caper
This high adventure, in loosely metered heroic couplets, follows Abdallah Jones on his quest to capture the ball of disappearing-dust from the mad Sorcerer and stop the destruction of the world. He has been given the task by his Sufi shaykh, which takes him to the Sorcerer’s castle, where he meets Marbug the elf, Neptune, the King of the Jinn, and a collection of sweet and evilly dangerous characters along the way with more cliff-hangers and near-deaths than anyone but Abdallah should have to endure – and finally to Madina, the city of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon him, his shaykh and people from the ‘Umma of Islam from all over the world, and a marvelous solution to the whole caper. Black and white illustrations throughout by the author illuminate the text.

I like this story because it has great characters, illustrations and adventure. In the beginning… oops! Don’t want to give it away… sorry.
