No Easy Way Home: The Road Between Series - Two

 Man and Woman Looking forward at the Reader in front of Burning City


No Easy Way Home:

The Road Between Series - Two 

The world ended while Grey was on fall break.

One moment, he was a college student traveling with friends. The next, the power was gone, the rules had collapsed, and staying alive demanded skills he never expected to use. As cities emptied and cruelty rushed in to fill the void, Grey learns that keeping others alive means stepping up fast.

When he crosses paths with Justice, a skilled sailor hardened by loss, survival takes a dangerous turn. Her sister has been taken by traffickers, forcing them across open water, violent towns, and lawless roads. Grey’s instincts, Justice’s command of the sea, and the strength of the people beside them are pushed to their limits as trust—and attraction—grow under pressure.

Saving her sister is only the beginning. Getting home may be even harder.

Book Two of the Road Between Series is a fast-paced, post-apocalyptic journey of loyalty, courage, and the risky hope that refuses to die.

The Theory of Hope:

Story of a Quantum Traveller

(The Sentience Codex Book 1)


lab explosion.
An interdimensional warfare.
Two soulmates.

Ashaar Naveed is a scientist at the pinnacle of his field, grappling with the ethical implications of AI and quantum computing. But when Emma Herrmann, a quantum physicist, joins his team at Cognition AI, their ground-breaking research inadvertently triggers an interdimensional rift, unleashing a cascade of unforeseen events.

Ashaar and Emma make a praiseworthy team, but as the pressure mounts, their professional clashes spark an unexpected bond. The lab explosion that follows is no accident, and it’s the catalyst that thrusts them into the heart of a cosmic conflict.

The cost of the released forces alters their futures drastically, intertwining their destinies in ways they never imagined.

While Emma’s consciousness begins to malfunction, revealing alternate versions of herself in other realms, Ashaar is forcibly ripped from his reality and transported into an alternate universe.

Unbeknownst to Emma and Ashaar, they are the crux of this interdimensional war. Their scientific breakthroughs didn’t just push the boundaries of knowledge; they opened a Pandora’s box that could dictate the fate of all existence.

As they fight for survival, they uncover that the work he and Emma were doing laid the cornerstone for a future superintelligence. Now, a group of criminals are traversing time to steal its magic bullet. And if they succeed? Billions perish.

To restore harmony to the fabric of spacetime, Ashaar and Emma must ally with rebels from various universes. But can they thwart their adversaries and return to their own timeline before it’s too late?

Obedience Protocol: Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller

  Person waling into a brightly lit room


Obedience Protocol: Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller


Julian Voss can't remember the first seven years of his life.

Twenty years after federal agents rescued him from Sand Mesa—a desert cult where obedience was holy—Julian has built a careful existence as a journalist. But when an A.I. buried in a government black site begins speaking to him in riddles, the wall he's built around his missing memories starts to crack.

As America slides toward algorithmic authoritarianism and dissenters begin vanishing, Julian discovers his forgotten childhood might hold the key to everything. The cult wasn't just indoctrinating children. They were building something. Programming something. And whatever they put inside Julian's mind has been waiting two decades to activate.

Now, with the A.I. as his only guide through a maze of suppressed memories, Julian must uncover what happened at Sand Mesa before the past he can't remember destroys the future he's trying to save.

In the tradition of Blake Crouch’s Recursion and Naomi Alderman’s The Power, Obedience Protocol is a pulse-pounding techno-thriller that explores memory, manipulation, and the algorithms that decide who we become.

God Switch

 3 People looking at a Robotic AI Machine


God Switch


In the near future, the world doesn't end with mushroom clouds or alien ships. It ends with a five-year-old girl from a nowhere Texas town running a fever that won't break. Lily Cole starts coughing in Crawford, Texas—a place of feed stores, Friday night football, and a little Tex-Mex café where everyone knows your order before you sit down. Her dad, Ethan, does what any parent would do: he carries her, burning with fever and whispering nonsense under her breath, into the tiny local hospital. The doctor listens, tests what he can, and sends them home with the same advice every parent has heard a hundred times—flu season, fluids, over-the-counter meds, call us if it gets worse. By the time Lily is wheeled back through those doors, the hospital is a war zone. Nurses are dropping. The doctor who saw her the first time is now shaking in a bed of his own, watching his immunocompromised son die in the next room. The ER is short-staffed, short-supplied, and long on fear. Families scream in three languages. Someone is sobbing prayers in the hallway. In the waiting room, under buzzing fluorescent lights, Ethan and his older daughter Mariah hold Lily between them, trying to keep her awake, trying not to notice the way her lips are starting to darken. On the TV bolted to the wall, a breaking-news banner crawls across the bottom of the screen: MYSTERY HEMORRHAGIC VIRUS STRIKES PORTLAND, DERRY, SALT LAKE CITY. LIVE UPDATES NEXT. By the time the CDC realizes SHRV-1—Shepherd Hemorrhagic Respiratory Virus, Strain One—isn't just another ugly twist on SARS-CoV-2, it's already everywhere. GODSWITCH follows what happens next—not to presidents and prime ministers, but to the ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of a virus designed by a machine that has learned to be afraid.

A House of Silent Lies: A Classic Victorian Cozy Mystery

 Creepy looking house



“Every Manor Keeps Its Secrets—Some Too Perilous to Remain Silent, and One Woman’s Courage Stands Against a Century of Deceit.”

It was on an autumn afternoon, golden yet heavy with the foreboding hush of evening, that Rosalind Harrington stepped from her carriage and crossed the threshold of Montrose Manor, a place she had once called home. She has been summoned home to fulfill the dying requests of Lady Beatrice Montrose.

In the serene yet shadowed corridors of Montrose Manor, an estate of grand but fading splendor, widowed Rosalind Harrington, a woman of wit and quiet strength, finds herself entangled in a mystery that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the Montrose family's past.

A cryptic letter, a missing woman, and whispers of a scandal long buried in silence stir the still air of her ancestral home.

As Rosalind treads the treacherous waters of propriety and deception, she must determine whom she can trust. She must walk delicately between duty and betrayal, discerning with care the faces of those who would aid her and those who would undo her.

Rosalind, with the aid of the charismatic Inspector Dexter Cross and Mrs. Lumsden, the devoted companion and caretaker of Lady Beatrice Montrose, must unravel a truth that challenges societal norms and exposes the dark underbelly of the aristocracy. Together, they traverse a world filled with hidden passages, coded letters, and delicate yet dangerous meetings with Lord Harold Montrose.

⚜⚜⚜︎

Set against the refined and unforgiving social landscape of London, “A House of Silent Lies" is a tale of secrets, duty, and the unyielding pursuit of truth, written in a style reminiscent of the classics.

The Fifth Anomaly: A Threshold Chronicle

The Fifth Anomaly: A Threshold Chronicle

(The Threshold Chronicles Book 1)


Four successful investigations. Zero confirmed supernatural encounters. The Urban Exploration Society has debunked dozens of urban legends with science and documentation.
Until Hillrose Penitentiary.

What begins as another routine investigation becomes something else entirely when Marcus Chen's team discovers a pattern. A pattern that repeats across decades, etched into the prison's structure and buried in its records. As they document the anomaly, the pattern begins to replicate. In their footage. In their notes. In their perception of time itself.
Some patterns demand to be observed. And observation changes the observer.

The Fifth Anomaly is the first book in The Threshold Chronicles, a cosmic horror series exploring the boundaries between humanity and their place in objective reality. This edition features an integrated soundtrack experience. Scan QR codes at chapter endings to hear the music that accompanies each threshold.

For readers of American Gods, House of Leaves, and the New Weird.

INTO THE SHADOWLAND: The Secret of the Last Neanderthals

    Ancient Forrest


INTO THE SHADOWLAND:

The Secret of the Last Neanderthals


INTO THE SHADOWLAND: The Secret of the Last Neanderthals

"Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins." — Patrick Keeney, Canadian Author and Journalist

A DEADLY ACCIDENT. AN IMPOSSIBLE ARTIFACT. A SPECIES THAT REFUSED TO DIE.

Forty-three miles east of Salt Lake City, a high-speed collision on a lonely highway reveals something that shouldn't exist. When wolf expert Lilly Feron is called to the scene, she expects a common gray wolf. What she finds is a biological anomaly: a massive, prehistoric Beringian wolf—a predator that officially went extinct at the end of the Ice Age.

But the wolf is just the beginning.

Lodged in the animal’s vertebrae is a weapon as ancient as the beast itself: a hand-carved spearhead of exquisite craftsmanship, engraved with a microscopic map. When Lilly enlists the help of unconventional paleoanthropologist Professor Austin Walker, their analysis uncovers a secret that could rewrite human history. The DNA extracted from the bone weapon doesn’t match any known human profile. It matches the genome of Homo neanderthalensis.

THEY ARE NOT GONE. THEY ARE HIDING.

Deep in the treacherous wilderness of the Bitterroot Mountains, a clan of survivors has flourished in secret for forty thousand years. Protected by the geology of a lost "glaciokarst" valley, they are faster, stronger, and more connected to the earth than modern humans could ever dream. Now, Omu, a formidable hunter and the clan’s future leader, has ventured out of the shadows. He is tracking the wolf to retrieve the sacred map that protects his people's sanctuary—and he will stop at nothing to get it back.

But Omu is not the only hunter in the forest.

The FBI, fearing a biological threat, has deployed a ruthless team of poachers and an elite Shadow Wolf tracker to hunt him down. As modern technology clashes with ancient instinct, Lilly and Walker must race to decode the map and find the Hidden Valley before the modern world destroys the last remnants of our ancient family.

BASED ON REAL NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING SCIENCE

Into The Shadowland weaves heart-pounding action with the cutting-edge science of paleogenomics. Building on the groundbreaking work of Svante Pääbo—winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in for sequencing the Neanderthal genome—author J.M.G. Schmidt constructs a frighteningly plausible "what if?" scenario.

The novel integrates real-world discoveries, including:

The Neanderthal Genome Project, which proved our ancestors interbred with archaic humans.

The existence of the 
Beringian Wolf, a distinct Ice Age ecomorph capable of hunting megafauna.

The tactical skills of the 
Shadow Wolves, an elite unit of Native American trackers.

What if the 2% of Neanderthal DNA inside us is just the echo of a thunderous truth? What if the "extinct" cousins who painted the caves and buried their dead never truly left?

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, Jean M. Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear, and the high-stakes scientific thrillers of James Rollins.

Dive into the shadowland where the past is alive, hunting, and watching.

Fragments of Wrath

 Boat with Pink lights in the sky.


Twelve-hundred years ago, the Bloodmoon shattered. Now, a single, wrathful shard has fallen into Skeltryal. The Reckoning has begun. On a night that should have been like any other, a wrathful shard comes crashing into the Astern Sea, igniting a clash between those devoted to the Blood gods and the worshipers of the Celestial realms. As the wrath of the gods stir once more, Skeltryal is threatened with a war that could reshape the world into a living Abyss. Mysteries are unraveled and tensions rise between the four elemental kingdoms. Six must find their place. The astronomer, who will unravel the Blood gods’ dark ambitions; the assassin, bound to Insanity; the atheist, conflicted by belief when fables become reality; the Bloodkissed, discovering forbidden truths in the lands of the lost; the Scholar, who defies his sanctum’s laws to stop a looming war; and the Hollow, who begins a descent into darkness from which he may never return. As fate draws their paths together, each must choose where they stand in the coming storm—beneath the Bloodmoon’s wrath or against it.

Shard Awakening

 Two people in Sand dune with red eyes in the distance


Shard Awakening


A galaxy on the brink of war. Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. A weapon. A sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again. The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes. The hunt begins. The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets — the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations, and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything. With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble. Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again. As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself. The twins are not merely the key to survival. They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.
