The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala, The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking
About The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala, The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking
Discover the Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unprecedented journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Kingdom of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power. As entertaining as it is enlightening, this is an incomparable read for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking expanded knowledge and personal power. 2023 Edition Kindle Unlimited book, e-reader page count 320.

In Apocalypse Never, a group of old friends gathers for what might be their last night on earth — a night fueled by too much whiskey, half-hearted jokes, and the lingering ache of things left unsaid.
As midnight approaches, the games turn dangerous. Truths spill out, relationships crack open, and the world they thought they knew unravels not with fire, but with honesty.
When the sun rises, survival isn’t about the world still spinning — it’s about facing the wreckage they’ve made of their own hearts.
Emotional, raw, and hauntingly beautiful, Apocalypse Never is a psychological drama about fear, love, and the unbearable courage it takes to tell the truth when it’s almost too late.
Perfect for readers who crave layered characters, emotional tension, and a slow-burn reckoning that cuts deeper than any apocalypse.

Mukarram khan
Interview With Author Mukarram khan
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a storyteller by nature — whether I’m writing a book, scripting a film, or mentoring someone on their creative path. I’ve worked for over 15 years in media, scriptwriting, and emotional communication, and what has stayed with me through it all is the power of feeling.
I’ve written six books so far. My earlier one, Patience: Unlocking Inner Strength, was born out of reflection — a quiet call to embrace stillness in a world obsessed with urgency. My recent book, Feel It. Face It. Fix It., is my most personal work to date. It dives deep into emotional mastery, showing how soft power — awareness, empathy, resilience — is the real engine behind mental strength.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually crafting video narratives, directing short films, or guiding people on how to lead with emotional clarity.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Feel It. Face It. Fix It. is the title — and also the life mantra I discovered through grief, fear, shame, and growth.
The book was born out of a deeply personal experience: losing my mother while I stood beside her ICU bed. In that moment, no productivity hack could help me. I didn’t need to be strong in the traditional sense — I needed grace, softness, stillness. That moment taught me: real strength often comes quietly.
This book is for everyone who has ever been told to “toughen up,” when what they really needed was to feel, understand, and grow from within.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write best in silence, often before the world wakes up. But I carry my stories in my head all day — like quiet conversations that evolve as I walk, reflect, or even while sipping tea.
I also speak my writing out loud. If it doesn’t sound human, I rewrite it.
Because to me, writing should sound like truth — not like a lecture.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
What authors or books have influenced you?
Brené Brown’s work gave me language for vulnerability.
James Clear reminded me that transformation is built one habit at a time.
Khalil Gibran taught me the poetry in pain.
And ancient Indian texts like the Bhagavad Gita still shape how I see emotion, detachment, and dharma.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on building a digital ecosystem around Feel It. Face It. Fix It. — including a podcast, a course on emotional strength, and a soft power workbook that offers weekly reflection tools.
I’m also mentoring writers and professionals on how to express themselves with more emotional intelligence and clarity — something that’s becoming essential in today’s leadership.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
LinkedIn has been powerful for me — it’s where real stories connect with real people. I also use GMass for email campaigns, and I run targeted Amazon ads.
But more than tools, I believe authentic storytelling is the best promotion. When people see themselves in your story, they remember your book.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t wait until you feel “ready.”
Write as if you’re sitting with someone you care about — and they need to hear your story today.
Your voice may not be loud, but if it’s honest, it will reach the right hearts.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Be soft. You don’t have to be fire to burn things down. Sometimes water does the job just fine.”
That line changed how I saw power — and how I use it.
What are you reading now?
I’m revisiting The War of Art by Steven Pressfield and slowly reading Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I always keep a mix of mindset and emotion on my shelf.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to turn Feel It. Face It. Fix It. into a series of workshops and courses. I want it to be more than a book — I want it to be a movement toward inner strength that’s rooted in awareness, not aggression.
And of course… another book. Softer, deeper, wiser.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
If I were to be stranded on a desert island — just me, the sea, and silence — I’d want books that speak to the soul, not just the mind.
The first would be the Qur’an — not just for its spiritual grounding, but for the rhythm, poetry, and perspective it brings when everything else falls away. In solitude, its words feel even more alive.
I’d also carry Rumi’s collected works, because his verses are like companions — they meet you where you are and guide you gently inward.
The Bhagavad Gita would come with me too. Its wisdom on detachment, duty, and inner stillness has always helped me navigate uncertainty.
And finally, I’d take something by Orhan Pamuk — perhaps Snow or My Name is Red — not just for his stories, but for how he captures melancholy and meaning in quiet, slow-moving moments. On an island, that kind of writing would be a mirror.
These books would give me company — not by distracting me, but by helping me sit with myself more fully.

J. E. Spears
Interview With Author J. E. Spears
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m the author of The House of the Damned series, a dark romance psychological thriller saga drenched in sin, secrets, and betrayal. I’ve written two full-length novels—Sin & Deceit and Fractured & Broken (currently in progress)—with a third, even darker and more epic, on the horizon. My writing lives at the intersection of psychological warfare and twisted love, where desire and danger walk hand-in-hand.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Fractured & Broken, the second in The House of the Damned series. It was inspired by the idea of what happens after the fall—how people survive the wreckage of lies, power games, and fractured identities. It dives deep into trauma, redemption, and the haunting pull of forbidden love.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write best at night, when the world is quiet and the shadows feel alive. I listen to moody, cinematic soundtracks or dark ambient noise—no lyrics, just emotion. Sometimes, I’ll dress like one of my characters to get into their mindset. Strange? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Gillian Flynn for her sharp, unapologetic darkness. Sylvia Day for her raw sensuality. Anne Rice for the gothic undertones. And Stieg Larsson for weaving politics and danger so masterfully into story. I’m drawn to books that aren’t afraid to show the ugly, the intimate, the dangerous.
What are you working on now?
Book Two: Fractured & Broken. It’s bloodier, sexier, and more psychologically intense than Book One. I’m also outlining a new trilogy—an epic, politically charged dark romance with global stakes, high treason, and a love story that could start a war.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instagram and TikTok for the aesthetic and emotional hooks. But I’ve found the most meaningful connections through reader newsletters and dark romance Facebook groups. Having a well-branded website and staying consistent on BookTok are absolute game-changers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write the book you need to write, not the one you think will sell. Don’t flinch. Go into the dark places—emotionally, psychologically—and bleed there. That’s where the real story is. And revise ruthlessly.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Write hard and clear about what hurts.” — Hemingway. Pain is powerful. If you channel it into your work, readers will feel it.
What are you reading now?
The Mindfck Series* by S.T. Abby—fast-paced, twisted, and emotionally raw. Perfect inspiration fuel.
What’s next for you as a writer?
After Fractured & Broken, I’m diving headfirst into a dark romance political thriller trilogy. Think secret societies, brutal betrayals, and a heroine who burns empires to the ground for love and revenge.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
The Art of War by Sun Tzu — because even on an island, strategy matters.

Marcio José Ramos Sampaio
Interview With Author Marcio José Ramos Sampaio
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an architect turned writer, with a passion for storytelling, design, and photography. Traveling around the world has given me a wealth of inspiration and material to create across the mediums I love. I published my first book in Portuguese, Rio Para Não Chorar, and have also written two children’s books, which are yet to be published. Coffee, Tea & Khat is my first novel written in English.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Coffee, Tea and Khat was born out of a transformative chapter in my life, spent volunteering with the Ethiopian Education Foundation in Ethiopia. That experience marked a pivotal turning point, and I often say my life can be divided into before and after Ethiopia.
Although English is not my first language, I chose to write this novel in English to reach a wider audience, because I believe this story needs to be heard everywhere. The novel is grounded in the years I spent working and traveling across Ethiopia, shaped by the incredible students I met—young people from diverse and often challenging backgrounds who provided me with a unique window into a culture that is both mysterious and deeply moving.
My primary motivation for writing this book was to give voice to vulnerable young women, not only in Ethiopia but around the world. I hope to inspire empathy, raise awareness, and spark meaningful conversations about their right to a safe and empowered future.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t follow a strict writing method, but I’m always observing. I like to jot down details or scenes that catch my eye—whether on paper or in my phone—as I go about my day. Later, when I’m relaxed, I often reflect on those moments, and intuitively a story begins to form, complete with characters and emotions.
Sometimes the creative process feels almost magical. I once struggled to find the right ending for a character, and the answer came to me in a dream—it revealed the path I needed to take.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
One of the first authors who truly inspired me was John Steinbeck, especially with his powerful novel The Grapes of Wrath. Later, I found deep resonance in the works of Brazilian writers such as Clarice Lispector, Machado de Assis, and Paulo Coelho. I’ve also drawn inspiration from Shakespeare, Simone de Beauvoir, and Khaled Hosseini.
The books written by these authors have shaped my perspective as both a reader and a writer, each leaving a lasting imprint on how I approach storytelling, emotion, and human complexity.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the sequel to Coffee, Tea & Khat. Although the first book ended on a hopeful note, I felt there was more to uncover—readers often ask what happened to Faizah, Aby, and Nora afterward, and I believe their journeys still hold powerful stories waiting to be told.
In parallel, I’m also developing a new novel about two boys from different regions of Brazil who meet in the wake of a climate catastrophe. Through their story, I aim to explore not only the urgent issue of climate change, but also the rich and complex heritage of Brazil—Indigenous, Black, and European influences that shape the country’s identity in profound ways.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’ve experimented with several strategies to promote my book, including building an email list, offering free copies, and even hiring influencers. Unfortunately, those efforts didn’t yield the results I hoped for. Right now, I’m exploring alternative platforms—like this one—to help share my work with a broader audience.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you want to be a good writer, you need to write—just start, and keep going. Write, write, and write. The second piece of advice is just as important: read as much as you can, especially within the genre you want to write. Reading sharpens your instincts and expands your understanding of structure, voice, and style.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s the same advice I give to new authors: write, write, and write—and read just as much, especially in the genre you want to explore. But there’s another piece of advice that stayed with me. A friend once told me, “The first thing you need to do is get your financial independence. The rest will come more easily.” I was eighteen at the time and didn’t fully understand what she meant. Now, with more experience, it makes perfect sense. Stability gives you the freedom to create without fear.
What are you reading now?
Although literary fiction is my favourite genre, I love reading just about anything I can get my hands on. My sister once joked that she enjoys reading even the leaflet inside a medicine box—and honestly, I’m the same. Curiosity drives my reading habits. At the moment, I’m diving into The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, exploring the fascinating connections between the mind and our health.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would love for Coffee, Tea & Khat to reach a wide audience and be recognized as a must-read. I truly believe this story can open people’s eyes—especially those who may not fully understand what many women in Africa, and in other parts of the world, endure every day. Through fiction, I hope to create empathy, raise awareness, and spark meaningful conversations. Additionally, I would be honoured to further promote organizations like the Ethiopian Education Foundation, which has done immeasurable work for disadvantaged children and continues to make a profound difference in their lives.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Wow, that’s a trick question! If I had to choose, I’d say Papillon by Henri Charrière. It’s a book I read in my teen years, and it has stayed with me ever since. It’s a story about resilience, determination, and hope—qualities you need in the face of adversity.
Then, I’d pick The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis—an insightful and darkly humorous look at life. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood would be another essential, given its powerful exploration of autonomy and oppression. I’d also have to include The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, a novel that delves into the struggles of the working class and the power of human solidarity.
And lastly, I’d beg to include Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens—a timeless story that reveals the depths of human kindness and cruelty, and one that has shaped my understanding of compassion.

Ricky Baxter
Interview With Author Ricky Baxter
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Ricky Baxter, a British fantasy author from the UK!
So far I have written 12 amazing books
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Blue Lunar & The Apex Grail, a high fantasy epic about a boy’s quest to rid the world of a powerful wizard. It is very much a homage to the classic tales we used to love as children.
I was inspired to write this book at an early age, upon seeing TV shows and various films of friends banding together for a united cause. As an adult, I re-wrote the story from the ground up and made it even more fantastic
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to usually write in the night time, especially around midnight. I also can’t have any sound around me when I write, as I feel it breaks my focus and takes me away from my imagination
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I absolutely adore Miyuki Miyabe. She wrote ICO: Castle in the MIST. Its a beautiful tale of a boy who seeks to help a girl escape a dark and dreaded tower
Another is Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist
What are you working on now?
I am actually in the process of doing the sequel to Blue Lunar & The Apex Grail! Many of my readers enjoyed the first book, so I am delighted to continue this series
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For me I often speak at schools, which allows new and young readers to take a look at my work. Amazon is the most direct way I promote my books too
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My best advice would be: There is no one-shoe-fits-all approach. Your writing journey is special to you, which would be different to another person. Take confidence with this and use your unique journey to your benefit
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’s not a race, it’s a marathon
What are you reading now?
I am actually writing something completely unrelated to fiction. I am reading a book on how to hone your physic potential. by Santana Alaina!
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am looking to appear on podcasts more so that I can get myself out there to new readers. I think many writers tend to stay away from being seen, however I wish to do the opposite. Very excited!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Blue Lunar & The Apex Grail (because it’s mine)
The Alchemist

Boy, Kant You Read!
About Boy, Kant You Read!
Feel the guilt a twin feels for his lost sibling, or how it feels being a young child growing up in a Jim Crow state. Celebrate love grown old, enjoy the rocking spirit of praising the Lord in church. Engage in the fear of what one man can do to a country. Remember the joy of celebrating the first black president, and the accomplishment of homeownership. All this a more in Aubrey E. Drummond’s First book of poetry, Boy Kant You Read.

Common Sense For A New Golden Era
About Common Sense For A New Golden Era
COMMON SENSE: For A New Golden Era is a bold, unapologetic blueprint to fix what’s broken in America.
For over two decades, author Rod Lingsch has offered clear, practical solutions to the growing problems of national debt, government waste, economic instability, and the loss of the American Dream. After running for Congress in 2020, 2022, and 2024—and receiving no response from politicians despite years of outreach—he’s turned directly to the people.
This book lays out the United States Citizen Fund (USCF)—a simplified, AI-driven system that replaces bloated entitlement programs and is designed to eliminate poverty. It also introduces the Currency Usage Tax (CUT)—a single, 1% transaction tax that can replace the entire federal tax code while paying off national debt and restoring prosperity.
Written in plain language, backed by data, and driven by patriotic purpose, this is a must-read for anyone tired of partisan gridlock and ready to embrace real reform.

The Binding of the Twelve
About The Binding of the Twelve
“The Teller, the Herder, the Trickster, the Tender, the Thief, the Mendicant that knows too much, two Gad’riyel, two delv’ar Scouts, and two Companions. Twelve you shall be . . .”
A foreboding prophecy reaches Fife, a Keeper of Wisdom. For two thousand years, the Keepers have hoarded ancient knowledge, believing it too dangerous for the world—the Cataclysm wrought by the Twelve Builders had proven that beyond any doubt.
But as a new threat arises, old ideas must be challenged. A forgotten empire hungers for conquest, and an ancient evil stirs, seeking revenge. Fife wonders if the only hope for the Three Lands is the old knowledge that destroyed it in the first place.
Despite his doubts, the prophecy was clear. A new Twelve must be bound, and it is up to him to search the Three Lands. Can he find and convince them to join him before it is too late? Will he be able to weave doubt, fear, and old divisions into hope, or will the world fall into darkness for a final time?
