Once a feared British king who ruled empires with an iron fist (and a wicked sense of humor), Percival Thorne III is reincarnated-not as a mighty warrior, but as a tiny Korean high school boy who can't even reach the top shelf. No crown. No throne. Just homework, bullies, and cafeteria tea that tastes like betrayal. But don't let his small stature fool you. Inside burns the heart of a monarch ready to conquer the only kingdom that matters now: the chaotic halls of high school. Join Percival as he navigates awkward classes, teenage drama, and his very British attempts to rule this new world-one sarcastic "Ello, governor" at a time. Reincarnated to Rule: Where the tea is weak, but the comebacks are sharp.

In a world where capitalism decided spare tyres were a myth, Jay is busy accidentally folding the universe in half to avoid his rent, while Jane is a cosmic God who's just trying to survive her shift in a urine-analysis lab. The Glitch in the Matrix: Jay is a performative polymath with a high-functioning operating system and a shrunken budget-he was hardwiring a survival strategy based on hyper-independence and weaponised silence. Now, his reality is starting to leak. He's manifesting localised singularities in his flat, his eyes are turning into glittery cosmic skies, and he's accidentally warping spacetime to play ding-dong-dash. He isn't a hero; he's a physics vigilante who is too bored to follow the laws of the cosmos. The Amnesiac Entity: Jane is his only anchor. She's minimalist, she has a potty mouth that could peel paint, and she lives in a disgustingly clean loft to compensate for a life that shattered on her graduation day. But Jane is unravelling. Her shadow is lagging behind her like a bad internet connection, and gold highlights are bleeding through her human firmware. She's a God who forgot her own origins, and she's currently using a Titanium thread to hold her human grief together.

When a strange old woman comes to the village of Little Plimpton, her arrival sparks a conflict that could bring the entire population to the brink of war.

(Explained by a British teenager) MOST BRITS HAVE this image of what they think is a typical American: a flag-waving patriot with a burger in one hand and a gun in the other. Here's one British perspective of how most of us see America, based on common stereotypes.

George is the kind of guy who says every thought out loud-and the universe never misses a chance to trip him up for it. With a narrator who is part cheerleader, part bystander-in-crisis, this is a chaotic little dive into some days that just keeps getting worse. Probably. (But maybe better? Don't count on it.) Narrated by a posh, cheeky British voice that sees everything and tells you just enough - often more than George would prefer - George in Neutral is told in a third-person omniscient style with frequent fourth-wall breaks. Think Garfield's sarcasm meets Mr. Bean's chaos, with a sprinkle of narrator sass that reads best when imagined in the voice of a slightly dramatic BBC presenter. P.S. Reading this in your head with a posh British accent will dramatically improve the experience. Go on, try it. We'll wait. _______ The most precious and perfectly fitting cover art courtesy ~ Aga Maszota. Thank you sooooo much. Design template: Canva

What happens when logic quietly leaves the room... and nonsense takes over? In The Book of Utter Nonsense, nothing behaves as it should. Alarm clocks declare war, socks enter politics, teapots dream of space travel, and bananas face their greatest fears. Each poem dives into a world where the absurd is perfectly normal-and the normal is nowhere to be found. This is a collection of playful, surreal, and thoroughly unreasonable poems that don't attempt to make sense... and are much better for it. If you enjoy humour, chaos, and the occasional philosophical goose, you're in the right place. Read at your own risk. Things may stop making sense.
