Geri o Shimasu: Advbentures of a Baka Gaijin

About Geri o Shimasu: Advbentures of a Baka Gaijin

Geri o Shimasu: Adventures of a Baka Gaijin invites readers on a witty, unfiltered romp through 2008 Japan as experienced by Alia Luria, a self-proclaimed “clueless foreigner.” Luria dives headfirst into the quirks and challenges of Japanese culture, from decoding onsen etiquette and enduring public embarrassment to exploring the oddities of love hotels and the loneliness of bustling crowds. With laugh-out-loud anecdotes and moments of poignant self-reflection, she unpacks the universal hilarity and humanity of navigating the unfamiliar. Whether she’s fumbling through train etiquette, braving bizarre foods, or embracing the messy beauty of cultural exchange, Luria’s candid storytelling is blunt, occasionally cringeworthy, and always unapologetically real. This collection is a hilarious and heartfelt reminder of the chaotic, awkward, and transformative adventures that shape us all.

Paulo Guinter Amazon Profile

Paulo Guinter

Interview With Author Paulo Guinter

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Brazilian historical fiction author who uses significant events in human history to develop intricate plots filled with adventure, romance, and action.
My literary debut was in 2008, when I published The House of the East with a local publisher.

Other books by me available on Amazon/Kindle:

The Treasure of Dias Velho (Portuguese edition);
Tales That History Doesn’t Tell: 4 Fantastic Tales (Portuguese edition);
The Third Cross: A Tale of the Christ (English edition coming soon);
When the South Wind Blows (Coming in 2026).

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Third Cross: A Tale of the Christ (English edition coming soon).
My inspiration was to write a historical novel set in the time of Christ.
Blurb:
Jerusalem, 30 Anno Domini.
On that sunny Easter Sunday, the day Jesus rose from the dead, another man also returned to life—the most unlikely of all: Gestas, the thief who had been crucified to the left of our Lord on the third cross.
Why was such a blessing granted?
What divine plan was being revealed?
Embark on this story of redemption and faith, where a sinful man discovers the passionate love of a woman and the vibrant fellowship of those who follow the Man of Nazareth. His journey will take him through the most pivotal moments of early Christianity, leading to a dramatic climax: the fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem, where not one stone would be left upon another.
This is the story of Gestas of Gilgal—from thief to missionary, from missionary to hero.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Various authors.

What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on the translation of the book The Third Cross.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m using free book promotion sites such as Awesomegang.com.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. I tell them: just write — the rest comes naturally.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My wife said: don’t stop writing.

What are you reading now?
I’m reading the Quran and the history of Islam, as I’m outlining a historical fiction set in that period.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope Americans enjoy the book The House of the East. It means a lot to me.

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?
I would take books about the history of humankind.

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories

Similar in tone and content in book one of this series,The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume Two), examines the very best stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager with an application of important ideas on war and peace as introduced by Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu centuries ago.

In over ninetyStar Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager stories reviewed in volume two, the book also links important concepts or proverbs attributed to either Sun Tzu or Lao Tzu with character arcs and problems in contemporary society.

In each lesson associated with specific Star Trek tales, story interpretation is used to show how the heroes – and villains, demonstrate the best and worst of human qualities as they attempt to work out problems in an interpersonal, inter-species or interplanetary way. Once these tales are reviewed, and prominent characters discussed, readers can more easily see how Taoist and militaristic ideas propel their favorite good and evil Bajoran, Ferengi, Cardassian, and others towards the right and wrong decisions in typical human dilemmas found in life and death matters.

Throughout this book, Star Trek stories in general are used as metaphors to illustrate the two Chinese philosophers wisdom in mini-lessons, applying their ideas to current day events. As such, Gene Roddenberry’s use of science fiction as an arena of social commentary works in an intellectual manner and not only for entertainment purposes. Thus, Star Trek can act as a self-help guide, showing us how to improve our personal outlook on society and ourselves. We need not surrender to violent tendencies commonly found in humanity, but should focus on the peaceful potential deep inside of all of us.

At the end of every story analyzed in this book, Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions are recommended for the reader to take to heart and consider in their lives. Each Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager story discussed in this book provides an important lesson that we can tie into either historical or current day situations as well.

The author challenges the reader to connect Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu’s ideas to their everyday lives.

By taking a positive, proactive role in our everyday life with others, Star Trek stories can give direction for both self-improvement with interactions with others and in society in general.

Looking closely, we can more easily see why Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway made leadership decisions that shaped not only their crews but the lives of millions of other species across various quadrants of the galaxy?. If we examine the philosophy of Taoism and military leaders of the past, we can more easily understand their motives to preserve justice, life and freedom for their corners of the galaxy.

It is this author’s hope that the reader finds a personal road map on how to conduct his/herself in this complicated and dangerous world through the very human stories of Star Trek.

David Cylex

Interview With Author David Cylex

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a lifelong fantasy lover and storyteller, and Arcbeasts: The Arcane Bond is my debut novel. I’ve always been fascinated by worlds where magic mirrors emotion and where the battles we fight on the outside reflect the ones inside us. This book is the culmination of years of imagining, building, and rewriting—and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with readers. It’s the first in a planned series that blends elemental power, deep character arcs, and high-stakes adventure.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is Arcbeasts: The Arcane Bond.

It was inspired by my love for stories where magic is deeply personal—where the power a character wields reveals who they truly are. I wanted to explore a world where humans bond with elemental creatures not just for strength, but for connection, identity, and survival. The idea of a forbidden bond—something beautiful, dangerous, and misunderstood—sparked everything. From there came the Arcbeasts, the Spiral, and Kael Emberling’s journey to defy the world that fears her.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes—I tend to write cinematically, almost like I’m watching the story unfold as a movie in my head. I build scenes around sound, lighting, and movement first, then layer in emotion and dialogue afterward. Also, I write in bursts—long, immersive sessions where I lose track of time completely. Some of the best chapters came out at 2AM with the world turned off.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I’ve been influenced by authors who blend high-stakes fantasy with emotional resonance. Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows) showed me how to write morally complex characters in sprawling worlds. Brandon Sanderson inspired me with his inventive magic systems and the weight he gives to leadership and sacrifice. And growing up, series like His Dark Materials and Eragon sparked my obsession with creature bonds, hidden truths, and worlds layered in mystery.

Arcbeasts is my own take on all of that—rooted in elemental power, intense character arcs, and the belief that magic is never just about spells… it’s about who we are when everything else is stripped away.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on Arcbeasts: The Storm Before The Flame—a prequel novel that follows Valen Drayke before he ever meets Kael. It tells the story of his early days at Stormforge Academy, his bond with Zephra, and the battles—both personal and political—that shaped him into the haunted, tactical fighter we meet in The Arcane Bond. Readers will get to explore the rise of the Stormrider class, Valen’s legendary Unit Ten, and the early rifts with the Council that helped ignite the war to come. It’s a story of storms, loyalty, and sacrifice—and it’s one I can’t wait to share.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For now, I rely on word of mouth through friends and personal connections to promote my writing. It’s been a great way to get early feedback and build interest naturally. As I continue to grow as an author, I’m looking forward to expanding my reach and exploring new ways to connect with readers.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to be patient with yourself and the process. Focus on finishing your first draft without worrying too much about perfection—editing can come later. Read often, write regularly, and don’t be afraid to share your work with others, even if it’s just a small circle at first. Most importantly, trust your voice and enjoy the journey—it’s where the real growth happens.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is, “Write the story only you can tell.” It reminded me that my voice, perspective, and experiences matter—and that authenticity resonates more than trying to chase trends or fit into a mold. That mindset has helped me stay focused and true to my creative goals.

What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson, the latest book in the Mistborn series. It’s full of complex world-building, intense magic systems, and epic battles—perfect if you love the grand scale of Lord of the Rings and the dark, layered storytelling of Shadow and Bone. Sanderson’s work focuses more on adventure and intrigue than romance, which really suits my style.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Next for me as a writer is to keep honing my craft by writing regularly and experimenting with new ideas. I’m focused on completing my current project and exploring ways to connect with readers, whether through building personal connections or eventually expanding into broader platforms. Growth and consistency are my priorities as I move forward.

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 stranded on a desert island, I’d bring books that offer deep world-building and timeless stories to keep me company. First, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien for its epic adventure and rich mythology. Then, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, because I love its storytelling and intricate magic system. I’d also bring The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson for its complex characters and expansive world. Finally, maybe a classic like The Hobbit—a lighter, comforting read to revisit whenever I need a break from the heavier stuff.
