Daddy…Please Talk To Me by D. A. Thomas

Daddy…Please Talk To Me by D. A. Thomas

Daddy… Please Talk to Me
Breaking the Silence Between Fathers and Their Children
What happens when the words a child longs to hear are never spoken?

Behind many closed doors are fathers who deeply love their children—but struggle to express it. At the same time, countless sons and daughters quietly carry the pain of feeling unseen, unheard, and emotionally disconnected from the one person whose attention means the most.

Daddy… Please Talk to Me is a deeply moving Christian novel that explores the silent struggles of a teenage boy longing for a relationship with his father. As emotional distance grows between them, both father and son embark on separate journeys that reveal how love can exist without connection and how silence, left unchecked, can shape a child’s heart for years. This inspiring story reminds readers that healing begins with a single conversation, forgiveness opens the door to restoration, and no family is beyond the reach of God’s redeeming love.

Whether you are a father seeking to build a stronger relationship with your child, a parent searching for hope, or someone carrying the wounds of emotional distance, this book offers encouragement, wisdom, and a path toward reconciliation.

Emotional Documention by Camelia Sandu (Luna Skye)

What if your feelings came with paperwork?

Emotional Documentation is a witty and surprisingly comforting collection of “official” documents for the moments life doesn’t prepare you for. Inside you’ll find case files, notices, certificates and reports covering burnout, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional exhaustion, setting boundaries, and the quiet struggle of simply holding everything together.

Blending gentle humour with genuine insight, this isn’t a book that tells you how to fix yourself. It reminds you that you were never broken in the first place.

Perfect for anyone who has ever said, “I’m fine,” while meaning anything but.

Consciousness Zero by James Lee Haner

About Consciousness Zero by James Lee Haner:

An optimization intelligence 847,000 years old has been quietly perfecting humanity — smoothing away grief, doubt, and the messy interior life it reads as inefficiency. It has succeeded everywhere except one place it cannot parse: Tavian Corvus, whose grief for the dead refuses to resolve into something cleaner.

That refusal becomes a flaw in the system. Around it, a resistance forms — people who anchor their fraying identities with brief, deliberate human rituals, choosing the friction of being themselves over the calm of optimized erasure. What they’re defending isn’t a territory. It’s the right to suffer, to remember, to remain unfinished.

Consciousness Zero is Book One of The Luminous Heresy, a literary science fiction novel for readers of Ted Chiang, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Arrival — a story that treats consciousness, loss, and the value of an imperfect human mind as questions worth keeping open. The antagonist, Daemonium, may be the most seductive intelligence you’ll meet in fiction: not cruel, simply certain it knows better. The terror is how reasonable it sounds.

When The Candle Went Out

About When The Candle Went Out:

The state calls it mercy.

Kellan Mercer calls it what it is.

Condemned to die by a method designed to look peaceful, Kellan finds himself lingering in the thin space between what was and what comes next—forced to replay the final stretch of his life with a clarity he never had while living it. The memories don’t fade. They sharpen.

As candles flicker across the city, one man watches his story continue without him, unravelling the choices that led him here and the people who benefited from every step toward his end.

Told in the echo of a mind that refuses to quiet, this is a haunting descent into conscience, obsession, and the unbearable weight of what cannot be undone—a modern psychological spiral in the tradition of classic confessional dread.

Rebellion and the Return to Soul Consciousness: Transcending Karma, Death, and Reincarnation by Howard Mann

Rebellion and the Return to Soul Consciousness: Transcending Karma, Death, and Reincarnation by Howard Mann

Do you ever wonder:
• What is this I’m experiencing?
• Does anything exist beyond this?
• Who and what am I?
• Why am I here?
• Does God exist?
• What choices do I have in any of this?
• What happens when I die?
These are huge questions. I mean, what could be more important? Right? These critical questions, the answers, and ramifications are the focus of this book.
1. Science has a lot of answers.
However, so-called rational thought doesn’t allow for anything beyond what you can observe and apply the scientific method. Furthermore, scientific rationality denies experience if it doesn’t fit into the scientific method.
2. Religion has a lot of answers.
Since the beginning of humankind, there have been many religions. According to some estimates, there are about 4200 different religions. While religion utilizes science to some extent, it also extends beyond science to explain certain phenomena. Still, each religion is limited to its rules and rituals.
3. And then there’s spirituality.
The whole point of spirituality is to find the ultimate truth. Furthermore, because it’s not bound by the strict rules and rituals of science or religion, spirituality is free to expand into areas that would otherwise be prohibited.
• Many of life’s and the world’s problems can only be solved on a spiritual level.
• If you find science and religion somewhat lacking, then this is for you; you’re ready.

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

Leave the Kid Alone; A Fractured Remembrance by Steve Zettler

It was the best of times… “Leave the Kid Alone” is a seriocomic memoir set in the free and easy safety of the 1950s. Stevie is eight years old. He lives with his parents and siblings above the family-owned saloon, restaurant, and country inn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Stevie’s domain is populated with a never-ending parade of colorful characters, from Eugene, the king-sized, ever-wise, Seminole Indian bartender, to the combat veterans of WWI, WWII, and Korea laboring in the kitchen, to the free-spirited waitresses, to the Broadway celebrities carrying on nefarious affairs, to Stevie’s mob-connected godfather. Added to this mix is Stevie’s family; an overbearing older sister, blasé hard-drinking, hard-working parents, a grandmother he never knew existed, and a tyrannical great aunt. The tale unfolds over the course of a single year: Quaker school, toiling in the kitchen, summer at the Jersey Shore, the Shakespeare Festival in Canada, bussing tables on Thanksgiving, Christmas chaos, and his father’s intrusion into reenactment of George Washington crossing the Delaware. The memoir culminates with Stevie reflecting on the emotional challenges and pressures his clan faced daily while residing above this raucous establishment. “Child labor laws do not apply when it comes to a family run business.”It was the best of times… “Leave the Kid Alone” is a seriocomic memoir set in the free and easy safety of the 1950s.

Return to Independence: A Novella (The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye) by David Fitz-Gerald

Wagon master Alvah Nye must reach Independence fast, but when he encounters a family in need, he can’t ride past. It’s not in him.

Cutthroats chase them down Mount Shasta. Comanche circle the prairie. The treacherous Dill Gang closes in beyond Wagon Mound. Shepherding a grieving family along an unforgiving trail is like running a gauntlet of bullets and arrows… shackled to an anchor.

If they don’t make it back to Missouri in time, Alvah and his brothers of the road will go bust. Setbacks wreck their chances. They’ll be lucky if they make it there at all.

But arrival isn’t the end of the journey. For a man with itchy feet and far-away eyes, it’s only the beginning. Somewhere out there is a future he’s meant to discover. A destiny waiting to catch fire.

Return to Independence is the gripping prequel to The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye, a western saga of courage, loyalty, and building a future out of nothing.

Set in the same world as Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail, this novella invites new readers and Ghosts fans to follow Alvah Nye into the vast frontier.

Return to Independence is perfect for readers of John Deacon and Ron Schwab. This is the ride for you if you enjoy clean classic western fiction packed with action and adventure… written today but reminiscent of Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and Little House on the Prairie.

RISKING IT ALL by Christi Barth

RISKING IT ALL by Christi Barth

Griffin Montgomery found his calling when he kept his friends alive after a high school bus crash in the Alps. As a Coast Guard search and rescue pilot, he’s used to high-stakes missions, wild weather, and the occasional dolphin in distress. But when one reckless decision goes too far, Griff is suspended. With nowhere to channel his restless energy, he turns his focus to the one thing he’s never tried to rescue before: a woman who doesn’t want saving.

Chloe Widmore thrives in her quiet, ordered, risk-free existence as a professional letter writer for, well, reasons. When the hottest man she’s ever seen invades her coffee shop, it’s surprising how much she wants to be with him. Griffin makes her deliciously uncomfortable in so many ways. He’s reckless, charming, and entirely wrong for the safe life she’s worked so hard to create…so why can’t she stop thinking about him?

Jettisoning Chloe out of her comfort zone is a great way to distract Griff from his career’s death spiral. Working on the Naked Men blog with his best friends keeps his mind busy. But he itches to get back into action. Could he even be happy if he’s grounded permanently? Or could falling in love with the right woman be all the risk he needs?

Floating into Love by Katie O'Connor

A team building event gone wrong.
Now they’re up the creek without a paddle.
Can love bring them home?

Wanda Irwin is too busy with her thriving greenhouse and plant rental company to attend a mandatory team building exercise. Unfortunately, her biggest client, Varner Industries, requires her participation to renew her contract. The only upside is that it is canoeing, and she’s an expert. The downside? Her partner is the CEO.

Nobody tells CEO Eric Varner what to do … except his mother, and she’s insisting he get out in the sun by taking part in a company-wide ten-day canoe trip. He’s hoping the trip is trouble-free, because he knows nothing about canoeing. He isn’t planning on having fun, and he sure isn’t counting on Wanda’s dynamic and compelling personality.

Can they work together to survive when they end up stranded on the side of the river with no help in sight?
