A young astronaut participating in a DARPA black-ops grapples with his failing sanity during his perilous, final mission. ALSO INCLUDES: The first 5 chapters of the upcoming dark, sci-fi epic THE GRIM, the first book the The Grim Saga. The war was lost so long ago that it is spoken about only in rumored whispers. The idea of freedom is nothing more than a myth. All Rey has ever known is the life of a slave. Toiling away in the sprawling camp for his barbaric, pitiless overlords. He has heard stories. That once humans were the dominant species. That before the spread of the virus, that twisted the bodies and minds of men into the dominant creatures they are today, people were free. He doesn't waste time believing such nonsense. Until one day his world is upturned when a mysterious young slave is dragged through the high walls of his camp, and he learns that the legends were true. That there is more than the camp and the deep dark woods that surround it. That there are still humans out there who are free. That there are still humans who fight for our species. And that he may have the power to turn the tide of the war. In this world, at the crucible of extinction, heroes are not destined, they forge their own destinies through grit and blood and sacrifice. There are no Chosen Ones, there are ones who make the difficult choices. There are no prophecies, no magic. Just flawed people caught in a struggle for survival, learning what it means to live, love, be free, and most importantly, what it means to be human. THE GRIM will be available soon in all major digital retail outlets.

Naya just wanted six quiet months. As a chemistry student finishing her internship, the boarding house near her workplace seemed perfect-cheap rent, polite neighbors, and only three rooms. But the middle room is always locked. The air in her bathroom feels thick, like someone's breathing with her. And when she plays Qur'an recitations to ease the heaviness, it's not just her who's listening. Her life tilts the night a woman appears beside her bed-crying, whispering "Help me". Naya convinces herself it's just a dream... until a neighbor falls into a mysterious coma, and Naya sees that same face again. As prayers falter, shadows linger, and whispers follow her into daylight, Naya tries to hold onto a normal life-flirting with a kind coworker, cooking meals that somehow lift people's spirits. But a so-called miracle in the neighborhood peels back something darker: the healed are not always whole, and not everything under a prayer tent is sacred. Some souls don't stay where they belong. Some reach out. And some... find you whether you look back or not. N.B. Sunday updates (mostly). Just to get you ready for Monday 🌚!
