Alexandra Feodorovna Morozova or Sasha as she's known to everyone is a highly successful journalist for National Geographic Magazine. She has the job of her dreams and a great life, but she's haunted by something that happened in her childhood. Sasha was only 6 years old when a terrible catastrophe occurred in a neighboring country that had international repercussions for many years to come. She and her family immigrated to New York City just a few years later. When she was in her teens, she was diagnosed with the condition that had a direct link to the manmade disaster.
When her editor comes to her regarding writing about the 30th anniversary of the disaster, Sasha must face her past and write a story that will not only make her eligible for a great award but bring her full circle to the concrete jungle of a long ago abandoned city. This book is all about Sasha's quest for the truth and learning that life always finds a way to return even to the most inhabitable of places.

Words Unspoken
Sasha Zimmerman lost people left and right. She had the mindset that everyone would leave her behind for bigger and better things, maybe even worse things. One week before her high school graduation, she came across a 30 day letter writing challenge. She decided she was going to write them. Once she had started, she kept on writing, and within two days she managed to write all 30 letters. The letters held onto secrets and disappointments that Sasha always kept to herself. She intended on keeping them that way. She thought maybe she'd burn them in her home's outdoor fire pit. What will happen when she finds herself in a tricky situation all while the letters are found? Will she ever be able to face them all again? || This is a work of fiction.

Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags. They hold the essence of what awaits you here... with a little something extra, like a cherry on top. Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.

Scarcity
By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*Tamamlanmış Hikaye
