    Walking Without Leading is a quiet, grounded sequel to Late Son, following Steven after the world has already decided what kind of man it thinks he is. On the road, Steven encounters a young group of travellers early in their journey - capable, confident, and certain that momentum itself is a form of virtue. He does not take charge. He does not offer direction. Instead, he walks alongside them, saying little, watching closely, and intervening only when harm becomes unavoidable. As the miles pass, the group begins to realise that influence does not always announce itself, and that being seen can be as powerful as being led. This is a story about restraint, responsibility, and the uneasy space between action and consequence. Walking Without Leading explores what happens when problems are not solved cleanly, when heroism is measured in what lasts rather than what impresses, and when growth comes not from answers given - but from questions left open.

    A story about holding on when no one asked you to. He didn't stop loving me with a goodbye. He just... stopped showing up. No slammed doors. No final words. Just silence - and stickers. And a cup he still uses every day. The one I sent him when I still believed I mattered. This is not a love story. It's a story about presence. About naming someone who no longer names you back. About staying soft even when they forget the weight of your softness. Written as a mirror - not a diary. This book is for the people who stayed: When no one asked you to. When no one noticed you did. When no one remembered how much it cost you. Each chapter is a quiet ache. Each word is a step toward letting go - without leaving. A slow unraveling of what it means to stay loyal to someone who already let go. If you've ever named someone with your whole heart... and watched them treat it like a sticker - this story is yours. And maybe... theirs too. Even if they never realize it.

    The english translation of my "Vivre dans la moyenne" What if you gave the microphone to that little voice in your head? A narrator takes us on an introspective journey towards self-acceptance, written in prose, as she tries to understand and tame this inner voice. Through spiritual reflections, sharp cynicism, and a good dose of humor, she reveals a rarely talked-about daily life-the one many people experience. It's a journey at the edge of the mind and reality, one that promises to stir emotions as much as it invites deep thought. More chapters are to come.

This is not a story about an ending. It's a story about trying not to break.

    My Little Black Book - Obscuritas Imperatoris by The Poet Williams, Collin C. Williams, is not merely a collection of verses, but a testament to the power and command of the mind, written by one who governs both empire and spirit. This book is the chronicle of an emperor's thoughts, his exploration of the dark forces that shape realms both seen and unseen. Through words, I have crafted a vision of the world where shadows and light intermingle, where the ruling of an empire transcends the physical and ventures into the very heart of existence itself. Within these pages, I unveil the essence of sovereignty, revealing the delicate balance between dominion and destruction, control and chaos. Each poem is a reflection of my reign, a testament to the quiet strength that comes from the shadows, the true source of power. Obscuritas Imperatoris invites you to witness the deeper struggles and triumphs that lie hidden beneath the surface of my command, offering a glimpse into the complexities of ruling an empire-not just of lands, but of the mind and soul. In this book, I speak not only to my subjects, but to all those who seek to understand the unseen forces that govern their own existence. This is a journey into the darkness where true mastery is found, a guide for those who dare to rule not only others, but themselves.

    BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/b8UDGKL The Man She Wrote To He found the letters by accident. What he read changed everything. Ethan Calloway wasn't looking for secrets-just an old photo album tucked away in the attic. Instead, he finds a box of handwritten letters sealed with lipstick and passion... addressed to someone else. Each letter reveals pieces of a man his wife, Lila, once loved deeply. A man who listens. Who sees her. Who stirs something in her she can't express aloud. Ethan doesn't recognize the name. But the words cut deeper than betrayal. As he reads on, obsession replaces outrage. Who is the man she wrote to-and what if the answer isn't what he fears, but something far more painful? A haunting, intimate novel about the quiet unraveling of a marriage, the stories we tell to survive it, and the fragments of ourselves we leave behind in the people we love.
