Castle Gap: A Chase Haven Thriller

 

Castle Gap: A Chase Haven Thriller

In Horsehead Crossing, Texas, Chase Haven was finally feeling at home—until his girlfriend, Tacy Vernon, vanished under a wide, uncaring sky. She dared to defy the town’s bombastic mayor and scheming city manager, exposing a legacy of corruption that’s bled the land dry for generations. Now, Chase leads a desperate fight for her truth in a place that reeks of diesel, decay, and buried secrets.

A sabotaged radio tower crackles with static, whispering tales of betrayal. A body rots in a sewer pump station, too far gone to identify. Every dusty road Chase treads leads him deeper into a web of greed, where desperate men will stop at nothing to protect their power. Fists crack, shots ring out, and the air hums with unspoken lies. In a town hellbent on silence, Chase will risk everything to uncover what happened to Tacy.

Forged by Andy Ivey, a fifth-generation Texan and former KCLW 900 AM host, Castle Gap draws from the wild lore of rural Texas airwaves he knows by heart. This fast-paced rural thriller, perfect for fans of C.J. Box, is a tale of a man who is dragged beyond his moral lines in a land that keeps score.

A Nation Without

What if the entire U.S. government vanished in seconds?

A single explosion. The President. The Vice President. The Speaker of the House—gone.

In a heartbeat, the leadership of the most powerful nation on Earth is erased.

Christopher Ames never asked for power. As a behind-the-scenes political advisor, he had no vote, no office, and no desire to lead. But when a catastrophic attack collapses the chain of command, he’s thrust into the Oval Office under emergency protocol.

Now, America teeters on the edge of chaos.

The media calls him unqualified. The public questions his legitimacy. A rising domestic militia wants him dead. And the enemies of the state? They smell blood in the water.

But Ames has a secret. He’s not here to play politics—he’s here to rebuild America from the ashes… or die trying.

Smart, cinematic, and chillingly realistic—A Nation Without delivers a high-stakes political thriller that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go.

Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox: Game Goals vs. Destruction - A very short moment in time

 

Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox:

Game Goals vs. Destruction - A very short moment in time 

Recently, Elon Musk has acted surprised with his own rise to power. But what if our world is a meticulously crafted simulation, one designed by Elon and his secret other-half? With the simulation’s balance between stability and destruction in his hands, will he choose to save the world? Will we make it to Mars? Will the interconnectedness of all things be considered, from technical systems, to… the emotional? [Please stop making that gagging noise]. Without these, like the story of the scorpion and the frog, Elon risks plunging humanity, along with his own genius, back into the void.

Elon Musk and the Simulation Paradox is a short story that leads us through questions of creation, destruction, identity, and purpose, with a touch of humor and game theory. The nature of reality itself can be examined… in real time.
