Baker Vaughan: A Novel by Stuart Hotchkiss

Baker Vaughan: A Novel by Stuart Hotchkiss

***Literary Titan Gold Book Award***

Baker Vaughan is a man shaped by success, and undone by loss.

After heartbreak shatters his world during his second year at Yale Seminary, he runs. From grief. From faith. From himself. What follows is a carefully constructed life built on achievement and distraction, as he trades his spiritual calling for a high-powered advertising career on Madison Avenue.

For twenty-five years, Baker moves through life outwardly successful but inwardly unmoored, carrying the quiet weight of absence he has never learned to face.

Until Idaho.

In a small town with an unexpected sense of welcome, Baker begins to glimpse something he thought was gone forever: the possibility of starting again. But healing is never simple. In Boise, he meets Karl Thompson, whose presence forces him into uncomfortable questions about truth, morality, connection, and what it really means to be known.

Baker Vaughan is a deeply human novel about faith, reinvention, and the fragile courage it takes to stop running. It explores what remains when everything else falls away, and the surprising ways life offers second chances when we finally allow ourselves to receive them.

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

Two Minutes by Michael Spring-Springer

The book moves across Earth and space while constantly circling one central idea that time is limited, and what we choose to do with it defines us. The narrative asks big questions about love, power, belief, and morality, yet it never feels distant or abstract. Instead, it feels personal, almost urgent, as if the clock is always ticking in the background.

Felicity Bennet immediately stood out to me as a powerful and refreshing protagonist. Her longing to touch the cosmos felt symbolic of every woman who has ever been told to stay within boundaries set by others. I was deeply invested in her journey, not just as an astronaut, but as a woman pushing back against inequality and expectation. Her relationship with her father adds emotional depth, grounding the story in tenderness and vulnerability even as it reaches for the stars.

I loved how Michael Spring-Springer blends emotion with intellect. Themes like gender imbalance, faith versus science, sexuality, and political manipulation are woven naturally into the plot rather than presented as lectures. The story challenges the idea of simple good and evil, showing instead how flawed, conflicted, and hopeful people really are. Every twist felt intentional, pushing me to reflect rather than just observe.

By the time I finished the book, I found myself lingering on its central question about final moments and lasting meaning. Two Minutes is not just about space or romance or ideology; it is about what remains when everything else falls away. It is thoughtful, bold, and emotionally resonan

Deep Time by William Parker

Deep Time by William Parker

In the near future, geopolitical chaos reaches into Deep Time. Dr. Oz has loved Karen from the very first day that he saw her, but he is her doctor. It would be unethical for him to tell her that he loves her. But then, suddenly her father passed away, and she had to move. He went all that way to save her from facing her father’s funeral all alone, but somehow, still couldn’t say, “I love you.”
His best efforts to return and change his life by telling her that he loved her turn into a total disaster when the local doctor drugged him and tried to turn him over to the NSA, claiming that he was an alien. It’s all up to Karen to save him this time. Thus begins an epic legal battle over what had been done to Dr. Oz because he is Native American. All the Southwestern Tribes sent people to support him for the trial.
But Dr. Oz was the very best at what he did. His passion was to help women who were unable to conceive. He changed their lives so they could have all children they wanted. So it was that Asha, a Ute woman, found him. She was on a vision quest. Dr. Oz was her only hope to ever have a family of her own. But his heart was as big as his incredible intellect. So it was that he took Asha into his heart. Her treatment became his special project.
In his quest to help the women of Asha’s Ute community, Dr. Oz built a mobile medical treatment RV to take his medical science to Sun Dance, a sacred Ute celebration. But the forces that hunted him the first time would not be so easily dismissed. They were still out there and would just as surely kill him if they could.
But Dr. Oz, Karen, and Asha’s love was in Deep Time. In Deep Time, true love endures.

Sirens and Spotlights by Craig Prusansky

Sirens and Spotlights by Craig Prusansky

He works in the space between life and death.
She lives in a world built on image, distance, and control.

San Diego paramedic Michael Petrenko is trained to stay grounded under pressure—but nothing prepares him for Ava, a global pop star whose carefully constructed life begins to fracture the moment she ends up in his care. To him, she isn’t a headline or a brand. She’s a woman trying to hold herself together behind the fame.

To the world, she is untouchable. To him, she feels real.

What begins as a brief intersection of two very different lives doesn’t stay contained. Chance encounters become harder to ignore. Distance becomes harder to maintain. And with every step closer, the risks grow—professionally, personally, and publicly.

Michael knows the rules: you don’t get involved with someone like her.
Ava knows hers: people like him don’t survive the spotlight.

But rules don’t hold much weight when someone finally sees you clearly.

Sirens and Spotlights is an emotional contemporary romance about identity, boundaries, and what it costs to choose something real in a world built on illusion.

The Auction by K.C. Crowne

About Featured Book: The Auction by K.C. Crowne

The most dangerous man in the room bought me.

One minute, I’m a hotel maid no one notices.
The next, I’m dragged onto a stage where ruthless men buy women for property.

Then Gabriel Moretti walks in.

Silver at his temples.
Violence in his eyes.
Power in every cold, effortless step.

He buys me in front of everyone.

Now I’m trapped inside his world of marble halls, shadowed deals, and bloodstained secrets.
Where his word is law, his touch is ruin… and every glance brands me as his.

Then I learn the truth.

The auction wasn’t random.
The men bidding on me weren’t strangers.
And Gabriel knew exactly who I was.

If the truth comes out, they won’t just hunt me—
they’ll try to erase me before everything burns.

Because I’m not just part of this twisted world.
I’m the spark that could burn it to hell.

Silent Revolt : Escaping the Rule of Ego

About Silent Revolt : Escaping the Rule of Ego:

Within each of us lies a powerful internal force that shapes our identity, influences our choices, and governs how we see the world—the ego. Often unnoticed, this inner authority can become a subtle dictator, imposing limiting beliefs, rigid patterns, and a false sense of self that keeps us trapped in fear, conflict, and disconnection.

This insightful and transformative work invites readers on a journey to understand the ego not as an enemy, but as a complex part of the psyche that must be confronted, challenged, and ultimately transcended. Blending psychology, self-inquiry, and spiritual wisdom, it explores how the ego operates, why it resists change, and how it can be rebalanced to support personal growth and emotional freedom.

Through self-awareness, mindfulness, and the courage to let go of familiar but confining identities, readers are guided toward a deeper sense of clarity, authenticity, and peace. The path forward is not about erasing the ego, but about breaking free from its control—so that life can be lived with greater presence, joy, and inner freedom.

The Unwilling Emperor by Tony Webb

The Unwilling Emperor by Tony Webb

Have you ever wondered how different our world might be if the balance of power had shifted thousands of years ago?

The Unwilling Emperor began with a simple idea sparked by a podcast from Professor Brian Cox. He mentioned how fortunate we are to live in a “Goldilocks” world — a planet perfectly positioned around the sun. I started wondering what might happen if Earth’s orbit had been just slightly different.

In this world, the planet sits five percent further from the sun. The equator became the centre of civilisation, wealth, and power, while the colder northern and southern regions were left poor, unstable, and forgotten.

At its heart, the story is a dystopian sci-fi thriller built around murder, political control, race, class, and empire. It follows Amara Koné, a mixed-heritage investigator caught between two worlds in a society that believes some people are born to rule and others are meant to serve.

The novel was written very visually — someone once described it to me as “a story that already feels like a film,” which I loved hearing.

Writers like Margaret Atwood influenced me because of the way they create worlds that feel believable, human, and unsettlingly close to reality.

This is the first book in a trilogy about an empire beginning to change — and, as so often happens, it is the ordinary people who pay the price.

I didn’t want to use this space for a hard sell. Instead, I’d simply ask you to imagine how different our own world might look if history, climate, and power had shifted by only the smallest fraction.
