“My Fated Life” is a collection of 108 short stories in 215 pages. Most of the events in this book are real, but the final results in a few of stories they remain unknown. The events were told exactly as they happened. Most of the stories actually happened to me, and I suspect it is because I really love life.

Experience how it feels to be the subject of a blasphemy prosecution! Find out why 'wool' is a funny word! See how jokes work, their inner mechanisms revealed, before your astonished face! In 2001, after over a decade in the business, Stewart Lee quit stand-up, disillusioned and drained, and went off to direct a loss-making musical, Jerry Springer: The Opera. Nine years later, How I Escaped My Certain Fate details his return to live performance, and the journey that took him from an early retirement to his position as the most critically acclaimed stand-up in Britain, the winner of BAFTAs and British Comedy Awards, and the affirmation of being rated the 41st best stand up ever. Here is Stewart Lee's own account of his remarkable comeback, told through transcripts of the three legendary full-length shows that sealed his reputation. Astonishingly frank and detailed in-depth notes reveal the inspiration and inner workings of his act. With unprecedented access to a leading comedian's creative process, this book tells us just what it was like to write these shows, develop the performance and take them on tour. How I Escaped My Certain Fate is everything we have come to expect from Stewart Lee: fiercely intelligent, unsparingly honest and very, very funny.

Being able to see is a gift most people have, but nobody is really watching. People guess how their lives are going to turn out, but nobody really knows what they are destined to do or who they are destined to be with. For Indigo Preston, being a seer is more blinding than helpful. She can see people's soulmates, their partners, their best friends, and most reviled of all, their murderers. That ability used to mean nothing to her until she met Celeste and Saxon. While Celeste's life is thrown into danger and Saxon's world comes to a grinding halt, Indigo must navigate a sticky web of future in which the three Fates have entwined her in. Fate can't be rewritten, but it can be destroyed.
