When Raë (ambitious and driven) and Æsh (mysterious new kid) sign up for an after-school course, they chance upon Bose, a quantum physicist, who teaches them how to become SUPRA: beings that are above and beyond; beings that can manifest at the speed of thought. *** The story unfolds at an international boarding school deep in the primal rainforests of south India. Along with four other students (from different continents of the world) Raë and Æsh are able to ignite their latent supernatural powers ... but there is a price to pay. Æsh's criminal past and proclivity towards sabotaging all that he has created undermine his impulse to evolve. On the brink of his magnificence, Æsh is left teetering between god-like supremacy and slow consuming insanity. Raë is Æsh's balancing force. Instead of being repelled by Æsh's darkness, Raë is pulled deeper into his vortex and her world of propriety begins to wobble like a dying top. Will Raë and Æsh be consumed by darkness, or become supra beings? BECOMING SUPRA, tackles difficult issues of personal empowerment, feelings of unworthiness, suicide and violence interwoven with high-stakes adventures involving leopard attacks, opium warlords, and the most challenging battle of all... the battle with Self.

❝ this tragedy is soaked with tears that dry the ink in my hands. ❞ ━ the poesy I've yearned to release ever since I taught myself to pick up the pen and write. ❝ for if the painting of my words be the garden upon the gate of heaven, glimpse them. behold the splendor of my haven. ❞ •• "𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅, 𝒎𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅." 𝙿𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 And just as the verse goes, a masterpiece was confessed, except it is timeless and will survive long after their time ends. "𝑺𝒐 𝒖𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒐𝒅𝒐𝒙𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔, 𝒔𝒐𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝑰 𝒐𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒔." 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚘𝚏 𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚜 Poesy Of Eloquence is truly a book over whose pages we can obsess. Filled with emotions, at times raw, at times hurt, at times hurt, at others leaving you longing for love even rebellion in certain places. It captivates both the mind and heart. It is is uniquely eloquent, with vocabulary that some might find overbearing but it is such that it perfectly fits the complex emotions and hearts of humans, it adds an essence of elegance making the words dance similar to how our thoughts do when we read it. "𝑭𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒔, -𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅" 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚒𝚝 𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚍𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍 I do not always find quotable content, words such that I feel captivated. // Review by a reader.

Dave Coker, soldier turned cop is instinctive, a man of principles. A corrupt boss with tons of skeletons in his wardrobe and a serial killer on the loose is enough to torment him. When he unearths a conspiracy of catastrophic results, its a race against time to bring down the bad guys before the streets of Lagos are drowned in blood and before the demons in his head propel him over the precipice- all the way to the other side of the law. If he isn't there already. ©The Kiddler

"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy! Highest rankings: #1 Adventure #1 Action #1 Science Fiction/Sci-fi #1 Misadventures #1 Absurd #1 Mindbending And all because of YOU. Thank you. *Now available in paperback from Story Well Publishing anywhere you like to order books! www.storywellpublishing.com Merch available at: www.theseanbrowning.come

If soul mates really exist, does that mean you are supposed to be with them? Even if it means turning your back on your family and friends, values and beliefs? Novela is a journalism and Latin American Studies double-major spending a semester in Guadalajara, Mexico. She is prepared to study Mexican history, practice her Spanish, bond with her host family, and join a local church. But finding a church proves difficult, the foreign students are there only to party, and the host "family" consists of a reticent widow and her part-time maid. Her initial boredom is cured by the news that prior students believed the house to be haunted. Her attempts to improve her experience lead her to a research position with Alejandro, her composition professor, who is writing his doctoral thesis on Mexican beliefs about death. She hopes to benefit from his expertise while sharing her faith with him. She never expects their intellectual exchanges could turn into anything more. She struggles to relate these events and her feelings about them through emails to her best friend.

Ali was prank texting random numbers on her phone when she accidentally texted Zeus, the king of the gods. How do you accidentally text a God, you may ask. Well I can't tell you, that would ruin the book! 😉 Anyway, Ali gets in some trouble, makes some immortal friends, and discovers the whole new world of Olympus. Of course, not with ought the occasional sarcastic remark. Oh who am I kidding, this whole book is a sarcastic mess. Well... ENJOY!!! 😊 -reeselanz P.s. I haven't gotten around to editing so don't explode the comments telling me. Trust me, I know. I'm just too lazy to fix it. I also wish I could change Ali's age but again- too lazy 😑 I started a while ago but forgot to keep going so pretend she's 16 not 12 😆 P.s.s. I started this 3 years ago so the beginning isn't great but I promise it gets better. Trust me.
