    Aquarius Adama doesn't speak unless spoken to. A quiet, soft-spoken librarian in Memphis, she lives surrounded by silence, shadows, and her mother's ghost-gone five years to the day. But something is shifting in Memphis. Billionaires are circling. The sky is drawing symbols no one can explain. And the ground beneath her feet hums with something ancient-something buried. Then come the dreams. Voices in a language she shouldn't know. A woman in gold, whispering her name. When a mysterious envelope leads her to a land deed tied to the Memphis Massacre, Aquarius discovers she's part of a legacy older than the country itself. One hidden in plain sight. Because Memphis, Tennessee, isn't named after Egypt. It is Egypt. And the land is remembering.

    He was once a creator. Now he's just a machine. Aarav Sen, 20-something and quietly brilliant, lands his dream job at a rising creative studio in Hyderabad. Three years later, he's the Managing Director of Reynaud Labs - successful on paper, burnt out in reality. One sleepless night, an old hard drive from his teenage years unearths forgotten footage, old scripts, and a version of himself he no longer recognizes. As the weight of deadlines, expectations, and disconnects from his roots finally cracks him open, Aarav sends a single email that changes everything: a sabbatical. Me, My Camera and My Best Friend is a deeply personal novel about losing your voice in a world that rewards silence - and what it takes to create something real again. Sometimes the first step forward is a rewind.

    Quiet Lies and Half Truths is a literary historical novel set during the Quiet Revolution and the FLQ crisis in Quebec. Through the story of one fractured family, the novel explores the psychological and spiritual consequences of a society attempting to sever itself from its religious roots. At the center of the story are Basil and Sophie O'Leary, a young Catholic couple struggling to build a family while the culture around them collapses into violence, secularism, and ideological upheaval. Basil is a deeply compassionate but spiritually conflicted engineer whose search for truth has taken him through Latin America, Ireland, and the intellectual currents of liberation theology. Sophie, his wife, is a woman shaped by abandonment, institutional childhood, and trauma as a Duplessis orphan. As Quebec undergoes bombings, riots, and political upheaval, Sophie's internal world mirrors the turmoil of the society around her. She becomes drawn into the orbit of radical political actors while simultaneously trying to construct a new identity through consumer culture and secular notions of female liberation. Meanwhile Basil struggles to hold together his faith, his marriage, and the safety of his daughters. The emotional climax arrives when Basil discovers that their young daughter has been sexually abused by a trusted neighbor-an event that shatters the fragile stability of the family and forces Basil to confront both the evil in the world and his own failure to protect those he loves. Yet the story ultimately moves toward redemption through the next generation. In the epilogue, fifty years later, Basil and Sophie's daughter Kathleen is now a mother herself. Through her relationship with her son, the novel suggests that despite cultural collapse, trauma, and generational brokenness, grace can still enter history. The novel asks a timeless question: How does a family remain human-and faithful-when the world outside Eden seems to be falling apart?
