A Harem Boy's Saga; a memoir by Young
"OMG! I can't believe this is a real
story!"
Never have I read a story that has me
exclaiming "OMG, OMG, OMG" every few chapters. This autobiographical
story shares the intensely personal journey of a young boy as he comes of age
in the midst of a male harem in the Middle East. He experiences all the things
that forbidden and taboo...you know those "unmentionable elephants in the
room" that we are warned about from an early age. I had to read this real
life adventure to find out how messed up and damaged he must be. Imagine my
surprise to meet an emotionally healthy young man who successfully grabs all
life has to offer and does it with an innocence that is simply beautiful.
Don't read this book if you aren't ready for
your ingrained beliefs and values to be challenged. Don't read this book if you
are not ready to delve into a side of our global society that is well hidden
from most. Don't read this book unless you too are ready to step into a new
adventure. Initiation will change how you view the world.
5-star
review by Wendy Acosta
A
Harem Boy’s Saga; a memoir by Young series is published by Solstice Publishing, Can you tell us
how it begins?
The first two books; A
Harem Boy’s Saga – I - Initiation and II - Unbridled were originally self-published.
A year later I found my literary agent, Emerantia Antonia Parnall-Gilbert
(Gilbert Literary Agency) after searching for a publisher and a literary agent.
It was Emerantia who
hooked me with Solstice Publishing. I’m blessed that Solstice Publishing is
interested to publish the entire 7 book series.
What is A Harem Boy’s Saga; a
memoir by Young
about?
Let me give you a synopsis of each of the books. I’ve
completed three books in the seven volume series
A Harem Boy Saga - 1 – INITIATION; a memoir by Young
This provocative story is about a young man who
was initiated into a clandestine sexual society. He was spirited to the Middle
East, from his UK boarding school. He attended the Bahriji School (Oasis,) in
The United Arab Emirates in preparation for serving in Harems for the wealthy
and elite.
It is also a love story between the young man
and his ‘Valet’ who served as his chaperone and mentor during the boy’s Harem
service.
Author’s Note:
I had a privileged and unique upbringing in
Malaysia. Following in my brothers' footsteps, I was sent to an exclusive
boarding school in England. It is there that I was inducted into a clandestine
organization, E.R.O.S. The Enlightened Royal Oracle Society. For four years, unbeknownst to
my family, I was willingly and happily part of a Harem.
My story has been kept under wraps for close to
45 years. The correct moment has arrived for me to make known my unique
education.
A Harem
Boy’s Saga – II – Unbridled; a memoir by Young
This is the sequel to Initiation - A provocative story about a young man who was
initiated into a clandestine sexual society. He was spirited to the Middle
East, from his UK boarding school. He attended the Bahriji School (Oasis,) in
The United Arab Emirates in preparation for serving in Harems for the wealthy
and elite.
It is also a love story between the young man,
his ‘Big Brother’ and his ‘Valet’ who served as his chaperones and mentors
during the boy’s Harem services.
This book
follows the teenagers’ erotic and exotic adventures and experiences at
their 2nd Arab Household Harem, the Sekham. They were apprentices and models,
for the household patriarch’s controversial photography project, “Sacred Sex in Sacred Places”.
The author's experiences present facts that are truthful.
Through these truths, which are often demonized by contemporary societies that
deem such behaviours inappropriate, the author hopes to dispel condemnations
and negativity which relate to his experiences.
A Harem
Boy’s Saga – III – Debauchery; a memoir by Young
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you
strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
Debauchery is the triquel to A Harem Boy’s Saga, a provocative story about a young man who was
initiated into a clandestine sexual society through his UK boarding school.
From there, he was spirited to the Middle East to attend the Bahriji (Oasis)
School in The United Arab Emirates in preparation for Harem services for the
wealthy elite.
It is also a love story between the young man, his ‘Big Brother,’ and
his ‘Valet,’ who served as his chaperones and mentors.
This book follows the
teenagers’ erotic and exotic adventures and experiences at their third Arabian
Household Harem, the Quwah. There, they became confidants to a prince,
assistants in an international dance club venture, “Carousel,” and apprentices and models in a controversial
photography project, “Sacred Sex in
Sacred Places.”
This story
is an account of the author’s experiences. Through these truths, often
demonized by contemporary societies that deem such behaviors inappropriate, the
author hopes to dispel condemnation and negativity related to sexuality, love,
and personal freedom.
What inspired you to write about your harem
experiences?
I believe my
geographical location (being in spiritual and beautiful Maui, Hawaii) inspired
me to pen my seven book series.
Now that I’m
semi-retired from my once very active fashion lifestyle, it is time for me to
reflect upon my unique early experiences and to inform the world what my positive
experiences in the Middle Eastern harems were like.
I believe my early
experiences shaped my adult life to who I am today.
There are also a series of goals
I hope to achieve through writing A
Harem Boy Saga:
·
Provide
Tolerance to Sissy Boys by understanding parents/peers and
the community.
Anderson Cooper 360 documentary on the
devastating treatment of effeminate boys influence me to tell my story.
·
Bullying
can be Avoided through Big Brother/Big Sister
volunteer programs in school or outside school system. Older students acting as
mentors to younger students.
·
Gay
Adolescent Tolerance
– parents/child/siblings relationship issues.
Support/mentorship program to all
parties involved to foster understanding and acceptance of Gay kids.
·
Provide
an Alternative Educational System;
Understanding Big Brother/adolescent
mentorship programs in schools, BB as protector to keep younger kids from being
bullied.
·
Human
Relationship Building Program;
Between parents/teachers and young students on
sexual topics/issues, especially when adolescent are just discovering their
sexuality. They can be guided on a healthy and honest sexual journey instead of
“don’t ask, don’t tell” hide it
behind the closet policy.
What challenges did you face while writing your memoirs?
Remembrance of things past. Luckily I’ve an abundance of
photographs, diaries, journals to spur me to remember what transpired during
those early years of my Middle Eastern harem experiences.
Although, I’ve taken creative liberties when it comes to the
individual dialogues spoken by the various characters in my autobiography. I
remember the gist of what transpired.
I’ve also changed the names and places to protect the
identities of those involve in the secret society and the unique school and
Arab Households I was in service at.
Historical accuracy is
an important factor to consider when writing memoirs/autobiographies and
biographies.
