NOTES TO A LITTLE BIRD: RECLAIMING CIVIL SOCIETY by Richard Silvia

NOTES TO A LITTLE BIRD: RECLAIMING CIVIL SOCIETY by Richard Silvia

Notes to a Little Bird: Reclaiming Civil Society —It’s something different, more like a journal for our time. Notes to a Little Bird is a heartfelt collection of reflections meant to restore connection, courage, and common sense in an increasingly divided world.

“Dear Little Bird,

Close your eyes and picture a world where every nest is safe, every sky is open, and every song is heard. Hold onto this vision it is the blueprint for your flight. A bird must first imagine the horizon before it soars. Vision is the wind beneath our wings, lifting us from what is to what could be.

—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit”

Blending personal anecdotes, sensory experiences, and timeless wisdom, Silvia speaks directly to the “Little Birds” —those who seek a life beyond the status quo. Inspired by historical works like Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior, this book is an invitation to slow down, embrace empathy, and rediscover the beauty in everyday moments.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Little Bird,

I received your inquiry and I must say, it landed softly yet
stirred a gust of thought. You asked for guidance, for a
voice to help navigate the noise and extremes of today’s
world. In response I offer you these notes —a collection
of observations, stories, and quiet revelations.

You should know this book is not a lecture but a
conversation. It’s a collection of moments that invite us to
slow down, breathe, and notice the details —the warmth
of morning light through a window, the rhythm of rain
against the sidewalk, the courage it takes to speak your
truth even when the world feels unsteady. It’s all about the
beauty found in the ordinary and the wisdom nestled in
simplicity.

Everyday courage is often silent. It’s found in the way we
choose kindness when anger tempts us, in the patience we
extend to ourselves when life feels hurried, and in the
strength to remain gentle in a world that often rewards the
loudest voices. This book will not promise you all the
answers, but it will provide a lens through which to see
the questions more clearly and as a compass to help you
find your own way.

Use your voice, Little Bird. Not to echo the clamor of the
world but to share your song —the unique melody only
you can offer. ‘Notes to a Little Bird’ aims to be a modern
resource, blending timeless principles with fresh
innovative thinking. It’s a call back to critical thinking,
practical wisdom and the deeply human need for
connection and understanding.

My hope is that these pages become a companion to you,
offering not just solace but practical tools to navigate
life’s complexities. Whether it’s finding balance amid
extremes, reclaiming life’s meaningful moments or
cultivating an updated skillset for today’s fast world, I
believe this book has something to offer to every reader.

Let’s explore together with curiosity and courage what it
means to live a life not just seen but truly felt.

—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit

Whether navigating uncertainty or longing for deeper connection, this book offers a guiding voice—one that whispers, in a world of noise, that we are never truly alone.

B of the Bang

About B of the Bang

All across London, billionaires receive an emergency alert from specialist extraction company B of the Bang. A nuclear missile is inbound and society’s elite have less than 70 minutes to reach the bunkers. As they head for the exits, it’s your fault if you get in the way.

From the bestselling indie author of the modern classic Before and After, B of the Bang is a satire of wealth, power, lobsters, inequality and why you shouldn’t flush wet wipes down the toilet.

Praise for Andrew Shanahan’s writing:

“The best debut since Iain Banks’ The Wasp Factory.” Jeremy Smith.

“A big fat five stars. This is a horror story. It’s a visceral portrait of addiction and the hope of redemption in a world turned mad by hate and fear. The worst thing is that it is true. A must-read.” Jane Almond-Deville, The British Obesity Society.

“Thought-provoking and inspiring, Before and After works on many levels.” The British Fantasy Society

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.

Satan’s Diary by Nicholas Ponticello

About Satan’s Diary by Nicholas Ponticello

We’ve all heard God’s side of the story—but Satan has a story too.

Heaven has been modernized. Angels carry iPhones. God is taking antidepressants and seeing a therapist in London. The Devil lives in the East Bay, serves coffee to university students, and flies kites at the Berkeley Marina. A retelling of the fall of Satan from the point of view of the Prince of Darkness himself, Satan’s Diary follows Lucifer from ancient Mesopotamia to twenty-first-century America in his quest to understand the human race.

Lucifer is God’s attempt at perfection. But Lucifer betrays God to live among the mortals on Earth, making enemies of God and God’s many followers. Lucifer is just like you and me, looking for love in all the wrong places and trying to eke out a living on a quickly evolving planet. But when Lucifer falls head over heels for a mortal girl amid the seventeenth-century witch trial madness, he must risk everything for a shot at true love. Instead of bolting, as he has been doing for thousands of years, he must stay and face his true nature.

This irreverent retelling of a well-known tale will find an eager audience among readers who enjoy a witty story of love and loss across the ages—great for fans of The Song of Achilles, Interview with the Vampire, and Outlander.

Satan’s Diary will be discounted at 99 cents from August 4-August 10.

How To Win a Million Dollars and BEEP Glitter!

About How To Win a Million Dollars and BEEP Glitter!

Amazon #1 Best Seller:
What if the American Dream was just a glitter-fueled lie? Soaked in pop culture and bad decisions, this Queer Millennial Odyssey is part confessional, part caper. It’s a story woven into the fabric of a generation that voted reality TV into the White House and made grift a national pastime. The journey is outrageous, hilarious, and, at times, deeply self-aware.

Inked in glitter pen and promise, this Lisa Frank–inspired, late-stage capitalist fever dream is told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy who believed every lie Ronald Reagan ever sold him—an unhinged adventure for anyone who’s ever chased something wild in a world that never made space for them. It’s not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of story—we were all sold a sugar-coated lie: work hard, play by the rules, and success will fall into your lap. “Personally,” he retorts, “I’ve found I’m more prosperous when I lie, cheat, and steal.” This prankish take on the American Dream might just keep you turning the pages.

With the charm of a rogue and the morals of a raccoon, our antihero drags readers through scams, schemes, and self-sabotage—from backyard cons to a cutting-edge experiment with AI. You see, we’ve all been caught up in that chase: more money, more status, more validation. And I’m no different…
“But he is different, because he dared live an unlikely life in a society that punishes those who try it.” —Publishers Weekly

In the end, one question remains:
In a game that is rigged for the rich, can you beat the system—or will it beat you?

About Prince of Dawn by Nicola Zhang

An exiled prince searching for the truth.
A curious squire desperate to prove himself.
An epic romance that will change the world.

Sixteen-year-old Prince Anden has spent eight years in the shadows – banished, forgotten, blamed for the death of a king.

But treason runs deeper than either of them imagined. As assassins close in and war brews across the continent, Anden must rally allies, confront buried truths, and risk everything – not just for the crown or his family, but for the boy who believes in him.

Set in a world without overt magic, Prince of Dawn is the spellbinding first volume in a queer fantasy trilogy about loyalty, legacy, and the courage to choose your own future.

The Mastermind Alliance

About The Mastermind Alliance

A thrilling techno-thriller for fans of “Ready Player One” and “Ender’s Game”
On his sixteenth birthday, foster kid Alex Mercer receives a mysterious gift—a strange metal key encoded with digital secrets. This key unlocks more than just data; it reveals the holographic image of his grandfather William, an AI guide programmed to help Alex uncover the truth about his missing father and a shadowy organization known as the Mastermind Alliance.

The Mastermind Alliance isn’t just another powerful group—they’re an elite network that manipulates governments, controls global information, and is developing technology that could give them unprecedented control over human perception itself. Alex discovers his father wasn’t just taken; he was working to expose the Alliance from within when he disappeared.

With his new AI grandfather as a guide and the unexpected help of tech-savvy Mia, Alex infiltrates the Alliance’s secure data center and recovers critical information. But what begins as a search for his father quickly evolves into a desperate race against time. The Alliance is preparing to launch “Operation Fallout,” a worldwide initiative that will allow them to reshape reality as we know it in just 45 days.

To stop them, Alex and Mia must brave deadly security systems, master advanced VR training programs, and navigate a dangerous power structure where loyalty is tested and betrayal is rewarded. The deeper they go, the more Alex realizes that his father’s legacy—and his own untapped potential—might be the key to stopping the Alliance’s plans.
When Alex passes the brutal Initiation Test and infiltrates the organization itself, the stakes rise even higher. Now, operating undercover with a high-risk biomarker implanted in his arm, Alex must play a deadly game of deception. With Mia unexpectedly joining him on the inside, they must find a way to complete his father’s work before the Alliance’s control becomes absolute.

“The Mastermind Alliance: Becoming” is the first installment in a gripping new series that blends cutting-edge technology with heart-pounding action. In a world where perception is power, Alex and Mia must determine who they can trust and what they’re willing to sacrifice to expose the truth.

Starks, comes Winner’s Curse – a pulse-pounding new thriller that will grab and hurl you through the eye-opening and unexpectedly dramatic world of the oil and gas sector. While taking you from the desolate, windswept plains of west Texas to the salons of Hungary, Starks expertly infuses her insider knowledge of this trillion-dollar industry, and her experiences of being female in a male-dominated field into this science adventure.

Undercutting her at every turn is former TriCoast Executive, Henry Vandervoost, who blames her for his humiliating fall from power. Ruthlessly competing with Lynn for control of Bradshaw Energy, his own playboy son’s company that has revolutionary energy technology, Vandervoost enlists the help of attractive young chemist Hannah Bosko to assist him in taking over the company.

Winner’s Curse is an energy technothriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. And, while this is the fourth book in the Lynn Dayton thriller series, each can be read as a stand-alone novel.
