Echoes Beneath the Croatoan Sky
'The novel is set against the turbulent rise of European ambition. This happened in the late sixteenth century. Echoes Beneath the Croatoan Sky traces the fragile intersection of different elements. These elements would be exploration, empire, and the human consequence that followed. On one hand, there is the quiet, perilous persistence of England's earliest American foothold. On the other hand, the intertwined lives of explorers, settlers, and Indigenous leaders -the events in their lives being shaped by forces far larger than themselves.The novel speaks about the lost Roanoke colony. It talks about their hope and the haunting, sudden disappearance. There are tales of miscalculation. There is mistrust, and distant wars that seal the colony's fate. Promises are carved into trees. Loyalty is tested by survival. The novel asks whether history remembers conquest-or the silences left behind. What endures is not certainty, but echo: of choices made, truths omitted, and lives swallowed by time.

Tempered by Fear: The Fractured Mind That Survived the Impossible is a relentless psychological horror novel that plunges into the terror of a mind at war with itself.Adrian Mercer begins to notice fractures in reality whispers in empty rooms, reflections that move on their own, memories that no longer obey time. What starts as paranoia quickly spirals into a waking nightmare as the city around him warps, shadows gain intent, and fear manifests as something alive and watching.As Adrian descends deeper into hallucination, obsession, and existential dread, the line between inner torment and external horror collapses. Faces multiply, voices accuse, and reality bends under the weight of a consciousness unraveling beyond human limits. The more Adrian resists, the more the darkness expands until fear is no longer something he feels, but something he becomes.Unflinching, surreal, and psychologically devastating, Tempered by Fear explores identity, madness, and the terrifying possibility that the greatest horror is not what stalks us from the shadows but what waits inside our own minds.This is a novel for readers who crave intense psychological horror, fractured realities, and stories that linger long after the final page.
I call it LOVE Screenplay
'He sees her once.She never sees him.That should have been the end.Instead, it becomes the beginning of something quiet, invasive, and impossible to undo-an obsession that moves without permission and refuses to leave.This psychological crime screenplay explores how control disguises itself as care, how entitlement learns to speak the language of affection, and how love is sometimes defined by only one voice.No one agrees.But me.I call it love.
The Devil's Bible
From celebrated New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, a tale of mystery and intrigue stretching back over four centuries. Former Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is called to Sweden when the younger sister of King Wilhelm I is kidnapped. The ransom demand? Hand over an 800-year-old book, the Codex Gigas--the largest illuminated medieval manuscript in the world. Claimed as war loot from Bohemia in 1648, it's been kept in Stockholm for nearly 400 years. Along the way it also acquired another more mysterious moniker ... The Devil's Bible. Now the Czech Republic wants the codex back, and Sweden has agreed to return it, but forces are at work to stop that deal from happening. The likely instigator? Russia. Who is also top of the list for possible kidnappers. It's up to Cotton and Cassiopeia Vitt to locate the king's sister, secure the codex, and thwart the Russians. Yet nothing is as it seems. Trusted allies become hostile enemies. Long-standing enemies suddenly shift into partners. Making matters worse, an array of conflicting personalities re-emerge from Cotton's past, transforming an already chaotic international situation into something far more personal and deadly. From the cobbled streets of Stockholm with its placid waterways and picturesque islands, to the hostile skies over the Baltic Sea, and finally onto a fabled 16th century Swedish warship, Cotton and Cassiopeia come face-to-face with the unthinkable--changing both of their lives forever.

The Investigator's Pigsticker
When you are neck deep in trouble, the best thing to do is to stop, give up, and hope for the best. But this wasn't his way. Never had been. At school, he was constantly in trouble with the teachers. At home, growing up, he was always being harassed by his parents. He very quickly developed a tendency to find someone - anyone but him - to blame. Like that bitch detective who caught him out in an interview. He'd always never said anything other than "lawyer" when being interviewed by police. But it wasn't his fault, because she'd tricked him. So, when he was incarcerated for 10 years - 3653 long days, including leap years, of bad food, poor sanitation, overcrowded cells, hard seats and harder men - he spent the time thinking about what he'd do to her. When he was able to think. Because he didn't have an easy time of it in jail. Which was her fault, of course. Davina Blackley had almost been killed before. But now, she knew she was actually dying. And this time, she was on her own. No-one looking down a telescopic sight at the brute attacking her. She was no longer part of the Big Blue Gang. She had no tools. Certainly no weapons. No food, water or even clothes. So she really was in deep trouble. Maybe just stop then, give up, and hope for the best? Or do something?
