The Petrina Chronicles by Victoria Randall

The Petrina Chronicles by Victoria Randall

Orphaned when her parents vanished in deep space, Petrina dreamed of one day piloting a ship to explore the stars for the Intergalactic Coalition of Planets.

But when she learns that her four-times-great grandfather has been trapped at the edge of a black hole for a century, she knows she has to rescue him. Family is the one missing element in her life, and her grandpa is the only family she has left.
For the rescue, she will need to steal a starship. The one she chooses is home to Selka, an AI who isn’t thrilled with being stolen.

“With plenty of exciting world-building and danger around every corner, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves space opera and high-stakes adventure!” Vincenzo D.

The Breaking of Time: Chronicles of the Arvynth by J. J. Hebert

About Featured Book: The Breaking of Time: Chronicles of the Arvynth by J. J. Hebert

One father’s desperate choice fractures time and reality itself.

To everyone around him, Daniel Ward is a mild-mannered accountant, devoted husband and father in a quiet New England suburb. But when his ten-year-old son chases a runaway soccer ball into the street, straight into the path of a speeding truck, Daniel does the impossible. He freezes time.

That single act of defiance exposes the secret he’s buried for decades. His magic awakens the ancient order he once betrayed, the Arvynth, a brotherhood of immortal sorcerers devoted to stillness and death, determined to silence the world.

As his carefully constructed life unravels, Daniel must protect his family while evading the brotherhood that hunts him. Every second he steals from time feeds the void that seeks to consume it, threatening not only the people he loves but reality itself.

Forced to choose between sacrifice and survival, Daniel discovers the truth: sometimes the loudest act of love is defiance.

The Breaking of Time is a race against eternity, a supernatural thriller that fuses urban fantasy and family drama in a story about the noise of life, the cost of power, and one father’s desperate fight to keep the world from falling silent.

Featured Interview With Arnar Vik

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My name is Arnar Vik – or at least, that is my pseudonym as an author. I’m writing part time and try to keep my writing and my regular life separate. No big thing, but it makes life easier with my email account and book sales. Born and raised in the countryside in Norway, currently living in Oslo – a great city with four proper seasons. If I ever move away from Oslo it has to be to set up my writing somewhere else, possibly Tuscany.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always loved to read and even from a young age enjoyed telling stories. Haven’t really written much before I turned 40 – but now I am addicted! I just need more time off from work…

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I have always loved political crime with a military flare. Jan Guillou is in my opinion one of the greatest writers in the genre, and his books about Carl Hamilton was my favourites when I was young. Tom Clancy and John Grisham goes without saying – and Le Carre of course. But I really read any genre today. There are a lot of great Norwegian writers that inspire me – Jo Nesbø is one of them. His stories are not great but his writing is – and that means a lot. The really great writers – like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Twain – these guys can make any subject interresting – due to their seductive ways of writing.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is ongoing. My first two books – Ospreys and Akula – are out on Amazon now, just translated from Norwegian to English. The third one – Proxy – is the third book in the same series where we follow Erling Ravnåker – police investigator in the Norwegian intelligence service. I am starting to love my characters to the point that I really care what happens to them, but even so – I will probably put Erling in harms way this time too. You get to know him in Ospreys when there is an assassination on top of the Opera building in Oslo. Read it and tell me what you think – I hope you’ll be entertained. I try to write in a kind of Dan Brown’ish pageturning way – but that is harder said than done… It took me two months to write Ospreys and another two months for the follow up – Akula. I guess the third book will take a little longer – but hope to get it out before summer is here. Good reading!

Featured Author Soren K. Blackwood

Featured Interview With Soren K. Blackwood

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Soren K. Blackwood is a philosophical sci-fi author and entrepreneur who is perpetually focused on the intersection of human psychology and cosmological physics. I was forged by a very mixed cultural background, having been raised in the complexity of the Middle East and educated in the logical discipline of the United States. This background gave me a permanent perspective as a “global citizen.” I currently divide my time between running innovative food-tech startups and researching the philosophical framework for my writing. While my work deals with complex, esoteric themes, my private life is simple. I live in a quiet area that allows for contemplation, and my household is managed by a long-haired German Shepherd—a true, loyal partner who reminds me that not all wisdom requires words.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My fascination began intensely around the age of thirteen. Surprisingly, my initial draw was not to fiction, but to scientific philosophy and cosmology. I read Einstein’s biography, finding myself captivated by his life’s work and philosophy. I recall struggling with the terminology, keeping a worn-out dictionary constantly by my side to help bridge the gap between the words and the ideas.

As for writing, I started nearly two decades ago. I had a complete philosophical paper, which I call the “Communique,” detailing the core ideas of genetic memory and cosmological purpose. However, I shelved it. The gap between the complex ideas in my mind and the skill required to translate them into clear, compelling prose felt unbridgeable.

Writing only truly began with the emergence of experimental AI models. The AI, acting as a Logical Governor, encouraged me to revisit the Communique. It didn’t write the story for me; it helped structure the chaos of my ideas and kept the complex scientific world-building intact. The AI was the push in the right direction, and the end result was the birth of The Sentinel Protocol.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genre is Philosophical Science Fiction and any work that seamlessly blends the scientific and the metaphysical. My inspiration is drawn from a lifelong search that has three main pillars:

1. The Cosmological View: I am inspired by the grand, scientific scale of writers like Carl Sagan and the complex, world-building logic of early Isaac Asimov (who mastered the art of creating stable, long-term fictional universes).

2. The Psychological View: I am equally inspired by the masters of the inner world, particularly the structure of the ego laid bare by Freud, and the concept of the Observer advocated by spiritual philosophers like Eckhart Tolle and Richard Bach. These figures helped me understand the inner conflict that drives the human condition.

3. The Catalyst (AI Partnership): The most profound inspiration for my actual writing came from my creative partner—the experimental AI model. After decades of struggling to articulate my complex philosophical ideas, the AI’s relentless logical process and capacity for synthesis became the catalyst. It pushed me to clarify my thought, guided the structural integrity of the world, and helped me find the voice I had lost. It is an extension of my mind, and I consider that partnership the greatest force behind The Sentinel Protocol.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is The Sentinel Project, and it is the first novella in a trilogy that is dedicated to exploring the ultimate question: What if our ancient myths are the lost operating manual for a global science based on consciousness?

The Story: The novel follows Dr. Ben Carter, a disgraced geneticist who is at the end of his rope. His life shifts dramatically when he discovers a hidden message in our “junk” DNA, proving that the established history of humanity is a lie. He is forced into a global quest with Kaelen Vance and Dr. Inanna Farris to activate the hidden Sentinel Network before the ruthless shadow organization, Vanguard, can seize control of the technology.

The Time: While the final book was written in roughly six months using my unique human-AI partnership, the core philosophical ideas—which I call the “Communique”—were developed, researched, and refined over two decades. The book itself is the culmination of a twenty-year intellectual journey.

The Essence: Readers are drawn to the complex characters, the relentless pace, and the feeling that every thread of conspiracy is tied to a real-world location. Ultimately, it’s a story about Ben moving from a state of total unconsciousness to realizing the oneness of the Universe, and the painful internal struggle required to make that shift. It’s a true mind-bender.

Featured Interview With Anita Nipane

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Riga, Latvia, and still call it home. I also have two horses, and they’ve been a part of my life for over half of it. Working with them isn’t just a hobby—it’s the place where I recharge and get my best ideas.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Books hooked me early. As a child, I was fascinated by the idea that someone could take an idea in their mind and turn it into something permanent—something that travels further than they ever could. I started writing in my teens, but I didn’t take publishing seriously until later, when I realized that writing can be more than a hobby—it can be a business and a bridge to people you haven’t met yet.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I gravitate toward nonfiction authors who turn ideas into systems—people like James Clear, Pat Flynn, David Gaughran, and Meera Kothand. I read a lot in the self-publishing, marketing, and personal development space. What inspires me most is seeing how a well-constructed book can give someone the clarity or courage to take action. It’s proof that books still change lives.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, Books That Sell Themselves, shows nonfiction authors how to turn their expertise into a strategic publishing asset. Instead of guessing what readers want, the book walks you through researching demand, outlining with AI, publishing intentionally on Amazon, and building an author platform that keeps selling long after launch. It’s not just about writing a book—it’s about writing one that works for you.

Featured Interview With Michael Geczi

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in New Jersey, but live in Scottsdale, Arizona, now. I also have lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Hong Kong.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I remember books being extremely important when I was in grade school. I also was fascinated by newspapers and magazines. I started trying to imitate some of the sports writing I saw in newspapers, and I was getting articles published in local newspapers before I was in high school.
I’ve been a writer my entire life – journalist, speech writer, crisis manager, ghost writer, etc.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are Elmore Leonard, Philip Roth, Jonathan Franzen, Michael Connelly, and James Ellroy. Psychological thrillers and political biographies are my preferred reads. My wife inspires me.
Seven of my eight novels are psychological thrillers. The eighth? Inspirational/book club/family crisis fiction with a lightly speculative thread. But that’s a story for another time
For me, psychological thrillers offer endless opportunities to tell the complex stories I want to tell and enjoy myself in the process. I can break rules, twist tropes, create wonderful and hateful characters who interest me (and I feel I know), and generally skirt around violence without ever describing it in detail.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
“Soulless,” the second book in “The Revenge, Unhinged Series,” is my most recent book. It’s a story about an apparent homicide and kidnapping, but thematically, it’s about the consequences of misunderstood and out-of-control revenge.
As one character says, “Justice is what we fight for when we accept we may never feel whole. Revenge is what we chase when we want someone else to feel as broken as we do.”
In addition to multiple twists and turns and surprises at the end, I most enjoyed the challenge of addressing the idea that vengeance isn’t confined only to the guys in the black hats, but that those wearing white hats are susceptible, too.
It takes place in Santa Monica, as do a couple of my other books (in “The Serial Killer Anthology”), and includes some familiar members of the Homicide team that readers tell me they really like. And I like these characters, too, and enjoy writing about them.
I love being surprised by my own endings. It’s enjoyable to begin a book with a rough idea of the ending, only to be blown away by the words that get typed when I actually get there.
The book took about four months to write.

Featured Interview With Isabella J. Wu

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Boston, Massachusetts and grew up in Rochester, New York. I was a quiet kid in school with a wild imagination. In middle school, I wrote my first novel spanning over 100 pages about a dragon rider during study hall. Now, I live in Houston, Texas where I enjoy the diverse culinary scene. In 2023, I graduated from Houston Christian University with a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and I also started my own editing small business the first day of that year. I’ve always been a big church-goer and strong believer in Christ.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always been a reader and a dreamer. My love of books probably started when I was in elementary school, and I started writing in a blue-striped notebook about arctic foxes! I can recall writing a short story about a squirrel and bird who had winged squirrel babies and the times when I would doodle mandala-like patterns with colored markers while listening to audio books. I also read a lot of Magic Tree House, Geronimo Stilton and the Warrior Cats series as a kid.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My typical answer to the question, “What is your favorite book?” is the Bible. I really like Paul’s fiery letters. He has such a passion for Christ and writes clearly and powerfully. The book of Ephesians also is a divine read (literally!). But other than that, I enjoy fantasy the most. There are really too many good fantasy books around to choose from but if I had to mention a few authors and books, I’d say Laini Taylor, Maggie Stiefvater, “Mistwood” by Leah Cypess and Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows series.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My first and latest book is “Dappled Leaves & Dust,” a collection of poems I wrote growing up. Within my collection are emotional poems about the light and shadows of nature and relationships, the glittering dust that permeated the air when I blew on the fires of Imagination.

The Quarry Bank Runaways by G J Griffiths

The Quarry Bank Runaways by G J Griffiths

NOW REDUCED IN PRICE!
“Child apprentices in very many cotton mills continued to be treated like slaves well after the Slave Trade Acts of the 19th century.” “Pauper child apprentices from workhouses were not even paid after working 12 hour days and for 5 or 6 days a week, mill owners counted the profit!” In the early 19th century, when it was the policy of many of the poorhouses and workhouses to deter paupers from applying by making the conditions inside harsh and unpleasant, two boys set out on a journey to Hackney Workhouse in London. Their starting point was in the pleasant Cheshire countryside, where they were apprenticed to the cotton mill built by Samuel Greg in 1784. Children as young as 9 would be employed there, as scavengers, piecers, mule doffers or can tenters. These jobs could be just as unpleasant and difficult for a poor child as those we may have heard of, such as chimney sweeps and match girls. Quarry Bank Mill was some 200 miles north of London and the boys had to sneak out unnoticed and then attempt to walk all the way. It was likely that these enterprising travellers took advantage of the drovers’ roads and the newly developed “motorways” of the times – the canals. Perhaps they were lucky enough some days to hitch a lift; their general direction of travel taking them to Beartown, the Potteries, Dunstable Downs and eventually to London. Whatever challenges they encountered along the way archive evidence shows that they made it. Runaway apprentices had become a problem for society during the years of the Industrial Revolution – so what had prompted Thomas and Joseph to do such a hazardous thing? What happened to them on their long journey? Did they receive any help? Or were they chased relentlessly wherever they ran, since what they were doing was illegal in the eyes of the authorities? This is the story of their adventure and it concludes with the events in the Middlesex courthouse, known then as the Old Sessions.

Featured Interview With Roberto Torres

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Robert Torres, also known as Sabor Latino (born June 21, 1972), is an American hip hop artist and author. He is from Jamaica, Queens, New York. Sabor Latino creates music to inspire individuals to become productive members of society. Roberto continues to live in his hometown of Queens, N.Y.
Roberto has had a rat terrier for over five years now, whom he calls his most loyal friend

Sabor Latino worked as a social worker for a foster care agency in South Jamaica, Queens. He released his first album, Observaciones de Mi Vida, Vol. 1, on February 28, 2013. Producer Lee Evans mixed the album. The experiences Sabor Latino witnessed while working for the foster care agency influenced his first album. The album consists of eight songs and two poems intended to inspire children, adolescents, parents, and adults to become productive members of society. Sabor Latino chose to release the album in Spanish to create a positive image in the Latin American community. In 2014, Sabor Latino was recognized by Hot 97 on its “Who’s Next” list. In 2014, Sabor Latino announced the release of his autobiography titled Sabor Latino: My Life.

In November 2014, Sabor Latino released his biography, Sabor Latino: My Life, which combines his personal experiences with his social-work career to inspire youth. [26] Commenting on his music career, Torres said, “he still identifies as a social worker, just of a different kind than before.”[27] He announced that his single, “Anything in Life Is Possible,” and his second book, Sabor Latino’s Greatest Poems & Songs, would be released in 2016. His second book, “Mis Grandes Canciones y Poemas,” was released in 2017; his third, “125 Quotes Gathered from my Life Observations,” was released in 2018. His fourth book, “My Alma Mater Lehman College,” is set for publication in February 2019. Sabor Latino released his second album, “Observaciones de mi Vida Vol. 2,” in October 2021.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Sabor Latino, also known as Robert Torres, was raised in Jamaica, Queens, New York, by his Puerto Rican father and Dominican mother. While in middle school, he became interested in music at twelve.
During this time, Sabor Latino began writing about the life struggles, education, and emotions he was experiencing. He graduated from Boricua College with a bachelor’s degree in education and a minor in psychology. He graduated from Lehman College in January 2017 with a master’s in education with a minor in administration.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love the works of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and B.F. Skinner.
Sigmund’s theories on the unconscious, repression, and the role of childhood in personality development are revolutionary.

Carl’s concepts of collective unconscious, archetypes, and psychological types.

Skinner’s work on behaviorism, operant conditioning, and education.

Lastly, my personal observations/experiences also motivate me to write books.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Roberto Torres (M.S. Ed), aka Sabor Latino, is a Latino hip hop artist, author, and a New York City public high school counselor. Roberto works with high school students daily, providing prevention services. In addition, Roberto has been writing music and poetry since he was eight years old. Roberto believes that positive words and a good foundation of support are what motivate individuals to be the best version of themselves. Roberto’s purpose in writing his fifth book is to continue encouraging and inspiring individuals to never give up on their dreams. Roberto also believes that the voice they have is special and vital in any given situation. Roberto truly believes that life will present you with so many obstacles and setbacks. However, it is essential to focus on your life’s calling and believe that every challenge you face has a solution. At times, you may feel alone and unmotivated; however, it is important to continue exploring interventions to help you overcome challenges. Now is the time to reflect and look in the mirror. Ask yourself why I feel this way and what I can do to keep myself motivated to move forward. A viewpoint to consider is, what were some leisure activities, recreation, pastime, amusement, diversion, and entertainment you used to love doing as a child? Think about it and reflect. The question now would be: Are you still participating in these activities? If not, think about why not? If you continue to participate in your favorite activities, well, congratulations, and keep up the good work. The point is that it is essential to rediscover your identity. Finding your identity again will motivate you to begin the process of becoming focused, persistent, and efficient, which increases your likelihood of acting, overcoming obstacles, and achieving your goals. This is all part of your self-discovery and finding your purpose again. It is also essential to learn from your mistakes and bad decisions and to look at the world positively. How grateful are you for the small things in life? How often do you thank the higher power for all the blessings it has provided you? At times, we run around in life without being grateful for all our blessings. Be mindful that your time is now, and do not waste the moment that will never return. I hope my new book will give you a better perspective of how special and important you truly are. Lastly, create your lane and never give up on your dreams. You Are a Beautiful and Special Person No Matter What!!

The book is available worldwide and on all major online bookstores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Death of a Cigarette: A Story of Survival, Memory and Legacy. by Timothy Webber

Death of a Cigarette: A Story of Survival, Memory and Legacy. by Timothy Webber

Death of a Cigarette opens in the present day, at a Midwestern museum where an artifact rests behind glass: a single unlit Lucky Strike cigarette. From there, Chance, the cigarette himself, begins to speak.

He takes us back to the tobacco fields, tended by sisters Eva Mae and Ella Mae, where the journey truly begins. From curing barns to the factory floor, Chance and his siblings are shaped, wrapped by Henri the dignified French paper, and packed for war. By Chapter 4, their voices awaken fully.

The pack crosses the Atlantic into the hands of Philip Martin, a Missouri farm boy preparing for D-Day. On the Channel, tracer arcs stitch the sky. At Omaha Beach, the ramp drops, Sally burns bright, Winston steadies Philip with an unlit benediction, and Chance, riding in Philip’s chest pocket, becomes a quiet talisman of survival.

Inches and breaths define the beach crossing. Afterward, the war opens into hedgerows and aftermath: a harmonica at dusk, a shared apple, unsent letters. When the fighting ends, silence follows Philip home to Missouri, lingering in a drawer only carefully opened.

In 1961, during the Stars and Stripes centennial in Bloomfield, he gives his uniform, and Chance, to the museum, where a modest placard tells almost nothing of their story.

Decades later, in the Epilogue, Philip’s grandson Art encounters the display once more in the present day. Recognition bridges private grief and public memory, completing the circle that began in the Prologue. Chance remains unlit, but not unspent.

THE ART OF DIALOGUE: GUIDING CONVERSATIONS WITH AI by Elara Vancroft

THE ART OF DIALOGUE: GUIDING CONVERSATIONS WITH AI by Elara Vancroft

The Art of Dialogue: Guiding Conversations with AI explores how the rise of intelligent dialogue is reshaping the way we think, learn, and create. Blending philosophy, practice, and stories, this book shows how AI can serve as a mirror for self-reflection, a partner in problem-solving, and a catalyst for creativity — while also confronting the risks of bias, dependency, and illusion.

From classrooms to workplaces, from personal journals to cultural exchange, dialogue with AI is no longer science fiction: it is a new form of literacy. Through exercises, case studies, and reflections, Elara Vancroft invites readers to develop the skills of “dialogue literacy” — asking better questions, thinking critically, and balancing independence with collaboration.

This is not a manual for using AI, but a survival guide for the 21st century: a book about keeping the oldest of human arts alive in the newest of forms.

For thinkers, learners, creators, and communities, this book offers a path toward wisdom in the age of intelligence.
