I did it. It's free. Happy New Year. Starting 12/31 to 1/2, free download of Disgraced a Toronto Thriller by my alter-ego Jayne Green. Everyone loves it who reads it except for that one right-wing weirdo, so that's okay. I'm dour, but the book is vibrantly hopeful despite being Baby Reindeer weird.

THIS IS YOUR LAST DAY FOR A FREE DOWNLOAD. PLEASE TAKE MY WORK FOR NOTHING.

For a collection of stories of Sufi women read Helminski's Women of Sufism: A Hidden Treasure. It's not academic, compiling accounts from different periods, reliable and unreliable, into engaging stories of Sufi women. 19/22 https://sufism.org/product/women-of-sufism-a-hidden-treasure-selected-and-introduced-by-camille-helminski
Women of Sufism - The Threshold Society

A Hidden Treasure Selected and introduced by Camille Helminski The luminous presence of women who follow the Sufi Way - the mystical path of Islam - is brought to life here through their sacred songs and poetry, their dreams and visions, and stories of their efforts as they witness the Truth in many realms. These writings reflect the honor and respect for the feminine in the Sufi worldview, and they are shared in the spirit of inspiration and hope for the flourishing contributions of women to the spiritual development of humanity.
