    THE USEFUL IDIOTS. At least in the military, the enemy wore uniforms. In civil service, they wear three-piece suits, carry clipboards, and ask you to fill out triplicate forms to request permission to breathe. Meet the veteran who traded a real combat zone for seventeen years behind enemy lines in the windowless, fluorescent-lit asylum of federal bureaucracy. Surrounded by a rotating cast of bobbleheads, empire-building morons, and GS-14 professional online shoppers, he lived to tell the tale. From the 50-year employee shuffle and the 30-day phantom training deadlines to the infinite loop of meetings to plan meetings about meetings, this is a gritty, laugh-out-loud, finger-pointing dispatch from the corporate escalator to nowhere. Strap in, hold onto your lukewarm coffee, and welcome to the greatest 2,000-hour-a-year comedy hour on earth.

    Saya has a special arrangement with a dragon. She gets tied to rocks. He gets the gold. They scam villages with fake sacrifices, overcooked rituals, and a convincing act of "damsel in distress." She's no maiden - just a fast-talking harlot with sharp instincts, flexible morals, and a talent for moaning on cue. He's no terrifying beast - just a very old, very gay, very arthritic lizard with a hoard, a temper, and joint pain from shapeshifting too much in the bygone ages. It's all going swimmingly until heroes start showing up. Cults get nosy. Other dragons get ideas. And Saya begins to wonder what exactly she's doing in a world where virtue gets sacrificed and livestock counts as treasure. A sword-and-sandals fantasy with scams, sarcasm, sensuality, and sheep.

    Caelum Hawthorne is a cynic navigating the suffocating structure of a 1970s Catholic boarding school. Her rigid worldview fractures when she meets Elara, sparking an intoxicating love that forces her to question everything she has ever known. To embrace who she truly is, Caelum must risk losing her family, her past, and the heavy safety of conformity. This is a story of self-discovery, the burden of rigid expectations, and a profound love fighting against time itself. (Inspired by a musical dream I had one night) ------ This is a 7-chapter snippet (spanning the first 60 pages) of my upcoming novel, shared here to give you a taste of Caelum and Elara's journey! The remaining chapters are being saved for formal traditional publication. Follow my instagram @sarakatverse for exclusive publication updates, release dates, and behind-the-scenes writing content!

    "I really had to stab myself four times, didn't I?" Jenny is dead. A high-speed bus and a "zero-star" death experience made sure of that. But instead of the afterlife, she wakes up in a body of spun gold and jewel-crimson eyes: Eloise Panthrea, the doomed villainess of the novel A Crown of Ash and Destruction. In the original script, Eloise is a pathetic brat who dies in a dungeon. But Jenny isn't interested in playing a role. She's lived a life where she was an outsider, a glitch in a sea of people who didn't see her. Now that she's the one holding the cards, she's not begging for love. She's building an exit strategy. Architecture of Lies: A cynical, Gen-Z coded villainess survival story. Updates Saturdays

    The most intriguing of all things "human" are faces. Not the ones which our skins naturally wear but the several invisible masks that hide us from everything , even from ourselves. We are so many people all at once that the very point of the word "identity" begins to face a crisis. We take all our past , present and our constantly variable futures to create our infinite faces but it is about time we quit relying on such contraptions and instead be something which we were meant to be and that is , namely "ourselves".
