WE Singh has his fingers in two pies; as a journalist for 20 years in the Middle East, he has written three books about Lebanon under the name of Warren Singh-Bartlett, the latest of which, In the Footsteps of Baal, was released in September 2024. In 2025, he realised a long-term goal of becoming a fiction writer – specifically a writer of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, tinged with history, mythology and archaeology, that draws heavily on his 20 years in the region. The first novel, A Djinnfernal Conspiracy, will be released in May, and a spin-off novella, The Khartoum Caper, is already available to subscribers to his mailing list. The novel is the first in a series, with the second instalment, A Djinn and Bear It Situation, due out late in 2025.
