About The Perranporth Murders
Detective Inspector Ryder thought leaving the chaos of London behind and transferring to a remote coastal town in Cornwall would give him a fresh start. But his new life is anything but peaceful. Struggling to adjust to the stark contrast between the bustling city and the eerie stillness of the seaside town, Ryder feels like a complete outsider. The locals are tight-lipped, and his colleagues are openly hostile, making him wonder if he’ll ever fit in. But when a young woman’s mutilated body is found at the foot of the cliffs, any hope for a quiet life is shattered.
The investigation begins as an apparent suicide, but as Ryder digs deeper, it becomes clear that it was murder. Her death is just the tip of the iceberg and the case spirals quickly out of control, and Ryder is left questioning everyone, including his own team.
He finds an unlikely ally in DC Ellie Tozer, another outsider who seems just as much of a misfit as he is. But there’s something about Ellie that doesn’t add up; her guarded behavior and cryptic remarks make him question whether she’s truly on his side.
As tensions within the police force escalate, another body is discovered, sending shockwaves through the community. The press descends, and Ryder’s superiors are breathing down his neck, demanding answers. With his back against the wall, he is pushed to breaking point, As he edges closer to the truth, he realizes that it may come at a steep cost.

Minding the Brain by Laura Viner, PhD; Jesse Viner, MD
Why do many young adults struggle to build healthy independent lives, even after mental health treatment? Minding the Brain answers this by focusing on emerging adulthood (ages 18-29), a time when identity, relationship patterns, and self-regulation are still forming — and the brain is especially capable of change. The book presents a trauma-informed, research-based model combining developmental psychology, neuroscience, psychotherapy, strength-based strategies, and wellness medicine. It explains how to harness neuroplasticity, heal from trauma and loss, rewire disrupted brain networks, and foster resilience. With real-world case studies, clinical tools, and theory grounded in decades of experience, the book teaches how multidisciplinary interventions — from family therapy to life skills training — can support emerging adults toward self-integration and lasting growth.

Thief of Echoes by Sandra Boyle
Thief of Echoes
Book One of Echoes of the Forgotten
Genre: Soft Sci-Fi Thriller | Psychological Mystery | Speculative Technology
Blurb
In a world where memories are archived, edited, and controlled, Elara Vale makes a quiet living helping others recover fragments of their forgotten pasts—until one illegal restoration changes everything.
When a grieving client brings her a corrupted neural file tied to a girl who never officially existed, Elara is drawn into a mystery the system was designed to erase. The deeper she searches the memory net, the more she sees traces of someone familiar. Someone who feels like… her.
But Elara’s own past is a patchwork. Years ago, she willingly purged part of her identity to escape grief. Now, she must confront the possibility that the system didn’t just take her memories—it rewrote them. And she wasn’t the only one.
As the echoes she unearths grow louder, Elara faces a devastating question:
What if the life she remembers isn’t her own?
Blending introspective sci-fi with psychological tension and emotional depth, Thief of Echoes launches Echoes of the Forgotten, a haunting exploration of identity, memory, and what it means to be real when your past has been engineered.

About Killer in the Margins
I’m Jessica Larsen. My mom’s a powerhouse entrepreneur, my sister’s a doctor, and I’m… an author with a normal 9-to-5 that I can’t seem to keep. After getting fired (again) and dumped by my boyfriend of two years (again), I have no choice but to take a job as a caretaker for my eccentric grandfather in a tiny town with nothing to do.
At least I’ll have time to write—unless, of course, I get roped into something ridiculous. Like bonding with my grandfather over his secret past as a detective. Or stumbling onto a murder way too close to home.
Now, with my grandfather’s old case files and a town full of quirky suspects, I have to solve this mystery—because surely, it can’t be that different from writing crime novels… right?

About Please Sneeze in Portuguese by Mabel Midwinter
It seemed a simple thing to move a family of eight to Portugal and throw six young children into the public schools, but that’s when they began to hear about all the other families that had failed.
The Wilding family bought their tickets, packed up their little, white house in the mountains, and flew to Portugal on the sheer, blind faith that everything would work out. Now they’re faced with the reality that Portugal doesn’t work like they want it to, and they may not be able to live legally within the country if they can’t get their residency permits.
Not to mention that learning a new language is hard, and no one is always sure what’s going on with the schools. Some of the kids start the year off failing the first term. The odds are against them, and the question remains: Can the Wildings last one year in Portugal?

About Listening to Lightning – My Conversation with Nikola Tesla by K. Orion
What if you could summon Nikola Tesla—not as a ghost, but as a voice shaped by history, imagination, and the emerging power of generative AI?
Listening to Lightning is a daring thought experiment: a speculative dialogue with one of history’s most enigmatic minds, created through the lens of modern machine intelligence. In this second edition, the experiment deepens—refined, clarified, and expanded.
What’s New in This Edition:
– A fully reimagined opening chapter that situates Tesla’s solitude and brilliance within the arc of his life.
– Short cinematic setups before each question to provide historical and emotional grounding.
– Verified Tesla epigraphs replace fictional lines, restoring his authentic cadence.
– “Tesla & Today” reflections connect his dilemmas to ours—from platform power to AI ethics.
– A visual timeline now flows with the narrative, highlighting key milestones.
– A sharper, more cohesive final exchange, including Tesla’s “six questions to us.”
– A new Afterword: Why Tesla Faded and Why He’s Returning.
This is not a biography. Nor is it fiction. It’s a modern encounter—across time and signal—with a mind that still crackles with energy, urgency, and unfinished questions.
Let the current flow.
