Whether you're an author curious about the chaos behind the curtain or a reader looking for a hilarious peek into a writer's world, this book is your perfect little escape.
Author in the Outside World is a collection of funny, relatable, and slightly unhinged real-life incidents from a not-so-typical writing life.
From assistants with designer demands to plots that spiral into chaos, to banters between two authors and writing inside jokes, this book captures the everyday comedy of writing life, when muses vanish, Wi-Fi crashes, and nothing goes according to the outline.
Grab a cup of coffee (or a sword if you're part of the pack), and enjoy these short, witty episodes that'll make you laugh, nod in agreement, or question your own sanity as a fellow writer.

Creator's Journal
Creator's Journal opens a window into the everyday rhythm of a writer's life - the quiet mornings, restless midnights, messy drafts, and those fleeting sparks that can set entire worlds ablaze on paper. This series isn't just about writing, but about living - the small joys, the unexpected challenges, and the way stories weave themselves into ordinary days. Inside, you'll find reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and unfiltered confessions from a creative mind that's always learning, failing, laughing... and starting again. Ever wondered what goes on in a writer's mind between coffee sips and midnight edits? Here, I pull back the curtain on the moments that shape a creative life. You'll find fleeting sparks of inspiration, unexpected challenges, and the little things that remind us why we create in the first place. Whether you're a fellow writer, an artist in another form, or simply someone who loves peeking into a creative mind at work, welcome. ☕ Pour yourself a cup, settle in, and let's share this journey-one page at a time. 📖 Comment your thoughts and tell me: When do your best ideas find you-morning or midnight?
The Bond We Bleed
A dragon bond is a death sentence, But it might be the only thing that can save her life. In a world made from magic, an ancient evil slowly returns. A human girl will be caught in the middle of the war. ******** When nineteen-year-old Evie Grimrose stumbled upon a strange egg, she didn't expect it to change her life-let alone bind her to the creature inside it. A dragon. Now bonded, she becomes something rare, powerful and dangerous. And most importantly, a target. Dragged into a hidden academy in another world, Evie is thrown into brutal trials designed to break the bonded, or turn them into weapons. Survival is never a guarantee. Especially not for dragon riders. Her twin brother and father are missing. An Elite order is watching her every move. And the commander training her sees her as a liability, not a warrior. But as Evie fights to survive an academy designed to kill her, the bully and harassment for being a human from the mundane realm, and the bond burning her from the inside out. An ancient evil begins to stir, threatening everything the riders have sworn to protect. And if Evie doesn't survive long enough to control her new bond...it won't just be her life at stake. It will be everything.

How to Get a Girl to Like You Back: a useful guide for geeks
A synopsis? Ugh. I thought the title was clear enough but here goes. *clears throat* I'm Alex Ryle, suburban cult leader and TV show connoisseur. Falling for a girl out of my league on my first day in the Land of the Free wasn't on my to-do list, and neither was becoming friends with a multibillionaire and an over excitable... word? (I don't quite know what to call him yet). There's also the blonde spawn of satan ruining my life but we're not going to mention her. Add a weird shirt and a slightly douchey jock to the party, and well... Those are the basic ingredients. Good luck on your quest, pigeons and Mordor refugees!

Author After Apocalypse
He wrote to escape reality. He wrote to find meaning. But now, the Author finds himself trapped in the very world he created. "Author After Apocalypse" follows a nameless writer who awakens in the shattered remnants of his own fantasy epic - a world where characters remember the pain he gave them, critics walk as kings, and karma has a face. As he journeys through broken storylines, forgotten drafts, and philosophical ruins, the Author must confront his regrets, rivalries, and even his own fictionalized crush. This is not a power fantasy. This is not a redemption arc. This is a soul's attempt to live. A novel about novels, written by someone who never thought he'd become part of one. If you've ever feared being seen by your own creations - or by yourself - this is your story too. He wrote about learning to write. Now, he'll learn how to live.
