Mercune’s Dream by C.V. Vobh

Mercune’s Dream by C.V. Vobh

Proto thought he’d saved the world and found true love. Or at least, he’d achieved some sort of ending, happy or otherwise.

So when he wakes up in his bed, right where he’d gone to sleep before arriving at Somnus’ Palace, it’s highly disconcerting. “It really was a dream!” he muses sadly.

But, for better or for worse, things are never that simple for Proto. He finds out that what he did back at Somnus’ Palace really was quite important. Overall, he did a good job there as a visitor of dreams, with one exception.

Alas, because of that one exception, the world is going to end in a thousand years.

Proto already saved the world. Now, he needs to save the future. And the key, it turns out, is his visit to Mercune’s dream.

He didn’t get it quite right the first time. Now, he’s got another chance. Will he be able to figure out what he needs to do in Mercune’s dream, in the limited time he has…?

God Mob: A Gritty Glance at the Travesty of Religion

About God Mob: A Gritty Glance at the Travesty of Religion

GOD MOB: A Gritty Glance at the Travesty of Religion

What happens when a lifelong Catholic kid grows up, kicks open the church doors, and lets every skeleton in the sacristy come marching out?

Brad Deep’s first crack in the stained-glass window came in the first grade, sitting in a wooden box, forced to confess “sins” he didn’t commit to a man in a white robe. If God’s all-knowing, why the hell did He need a middleman?

GOD MOB is the full demolition — 33 chapters of scorched-earth satire, blasphemous truths, and holy hellfire. With the wit of Carlin, the fire of Hitchens, and the fury of a prophet gone rogue, Deep peeks under priestly robes, torches the gods of every religion, and rips the gold-leaf mask off the billion-dollar circus hiding behind the curtain of faith.

And just when you think the sermon’s over, here come the Five Epilogues of Brad Deep’s Inferno—a final gauntlet of unfiltered, take-no-prisoners religious roasting designed to leave every altar smoking and every pulpit shaking.

One chapter for every year Jesus allegedly wandered the Earth—plus a few bonus chapters, because if everyone’s gonna make shit up, Brad’s cashing in too.

This isn’t theology. This is your Holy Exit—and the doors are wide open.

Read it if you dare. Or better yet… confess it.

Horny: Sex Without Scruples

About Horny: Sex Without Scruples

Brad Deep didn’t just peek into the male sexual psyche—he lived in it, banked it, and sold the tickets.

One day, a young Brad heard Francis Ford Coppola say in a documentary, “If an aspiring filmmaker wants to make a movie, he must do whatever it takes.”
Brad took that literally. He hired a few girls, opened an erotic massage parlor, and planned to use the profits to fund his movie.

What he didn’t plan for was front-row seats to the raw, unfiltered reality of male sexuality—the desires, the lies, the awkward kinks, and the desperate confessions men never make sober… or to their wives.

Horny: Sex Without Scruples is a savage, brutally honest, and laugh-out-loud demolition of dating myths, gender games, and the absurd mating dance we call relationships.

Written by a man who saw it all—the office bosses, the preachers, the boyfriends, the husbands—this isn’t therapy; it’s a strip search of the male libido… with sarcasm as the lube.

With stories you’d never tell your priest, real data that proves just how far the depravity runs, and chapter titles that slap harder than your ex’s mood swings, Horny is the book men pray women never read… and the one women can’t resist picking up.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what men are really like when nobody’s watching—this is your backstage pass.
Just don’t read it at church.

Creed: Satan’s Fury MC- Little Rock by L. Wilder

Creed: Satan’s Fury MC- Little Rock by L. Wilder

Satan’s Fury was my life.
It always had been. Always would be.
But it came with its sacrifices.
Lots of them.
Blood, sweat, and tears were just the beginning.
Hell, I’d traded pieces of my soul to get us where we are today.
And I’d do it all again.
But if I had the chance, I’d do it without losing her.

She was my everything, and I let her slip through my fingers.
It was the mistake of a lifetime.
I’d fought for my club.
I’d fought for my brothers.

Now, it was time to fight for her.

Queen Lessons: What Stand-Up Comedy Taught Me About Dealing with Life’s Hecklers and Finding Courage In Your Queen Years by Holly Shaw

About Queen Lessons: What Stand-Up Comedy Taught Me About Dealing with Life’s Hecklers and Finding Courage In Your Queen Years by Holly Shaw

At an age when some women feel like they have to begin to cover themselves up, Holly Shaw, a performance coach and hypnotherapist, did the opposite, taking the stage as a stand-up comedian. In this book, hovering between memoir and self-help, Shaw invites readers into the wild world of comedy, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her, the victories and the trauma, and expertly extracts the wisdom from them into lessons for women entering their “queen years.”

Queen Lessons hands you the mic. Read it and you will:

*Pick up simple strategies for dealing with everyday hecklers.
*Strengthen the Five Muscles of Stand Up Comedy Courage. Caution! These may make other people not like you as much, but you will like yourself more!
*Explore your relationship with attention and how you can change it for the better.
*Meet Holly’s inner Earthquake Woman, Wise Woman, and Comedian (who might just be inside you, too.)
*Say goodbye to “Nice Girl.”
*Change the temperature of a room and shamelessly ask for what you want.

Harvesting the juiciest moments from when she was just a pre-teen growing up in Indiana and catfishing boys at the mall, to being a grown-ass woman fleeing from angry girlfriends at the comedy club, Shaw’s whimsical and astute observations track her soul’s evolution through stories and an intelligent look at the world of comedy and what it means to be a performer and a queen.

There are thousands of books on courage and self-confidence, but how many of those were written by someone trying to make it through mid-life while bombing in front of an audience? No one is more suited to tell you how to take it on the chin and keep going than a stand-up comedian experiencing hot flashes.

Before you make one more vision board, read this book!

Tattoo by Sylva Kanderal

Tattoo by Sylva Kanderal

The story of Tattoo begins in 1820, when a young Scotsman, William Smith, joins the U.S. Army in Boston. Ten years later, he witnesses a bloody conflict between farmers and Shawnee Indians. William is captured and sentenced to eternal life by the tribe chief. The curse is associated with a ritual tattoo on his back – a red poppy with a smoking skull.
Over the next two centuries, between the Industrial Revolution and the digital age, William’s life oscillates between waves of success, admiration, wealth, and recognition and feelings of deep disappointment, helplessness, loneliness, and painful personal loss. The curse of eternal youth, marked by the ritual tattoo, complicated his every relationship, isolated him, and forced him to lead a nomadic life. He moves from place to place, living in Oklahoma, Cleveland, New York, Morocco, Paris, Tahiti, and Rio de Janeiro. His life is a carousel of surprising events, each one a tribute to the curse’s impact on his life and relationships.
At the beginning of the 21st century, William lives in Miami and devotes himself to philanthropy and playing golf. At its core, his life remains empty until one unexpected encounter changes everything.

About Whispers in the Wilderness Unraveling the Bigfoot Enigma

This second edition has been re-edited and contains new information for those looking into the mysterious realm, where shadows dance mysteriously among ancient trees, standing guard over secrets only spoken in whispers. Keep your senses sharply attuned, for reality and legend intertwine here in this enigmatic domain, and the elusive Bigfoot retains a cryptic role as a possible protector of the wilderness, cloaked in eerie mystique.

The possibility that this creature factually exists as a tangible, flesh-and-blood being resonates with an investigator’s determined search for evidence-based answers. Yet inquiries extend beyond solely human frontiers, encompassing speculative realms of other worldly origins, cross-dimensional travel, and perhaps even a spiritual existence that transcends customary comprehension.
As they navigate the intricately woven tapestry of possibilities, researchers stand as beacons of curious exploration and champions of curiosity.

Electric Narratives: The Brutal Truth About PR, Algorithms, And Attention, By Jason Carlisle

About Electric Narratives: The Brutal Truth About PR, Algorithms, And Attention, By Jason Carlisle

This is not a book. This is a wiretap. A detonation charge stuffed into the polite corpse of public relations. Electric Narratives isn’t here to “teach” you—it’s here to rewire the way you see truth, language, and control.

Jason Carlisle drags you headfirst through the cracked mirrors of modern media, where every tweet is a bullet and every headline is an improvised explosive device. Forget “storytelling.” That’s for marketers who still believe in fairy tales. This is story-hacking. This is narrative warfare.

Inside, you’ll find the theory and field notes of Persistent Narrative Seeding—a weaponized strategy for bending algorithms, infiltrating feeds, and haunting the machine long after you’ve left the room. These aren’t case studies polished for classrooms. These are fragments from the frontline. Messy. Violent. Alive.

You’ll learn why visibility is war, why ethics is camouflage, and why the only sin in this new economy of attention is playing it safe. This is not PR for brands. It’s PR for insurgents. For operators. For anyone who knows that in 2025, truth is just another platform, and survival belongs to those willing to corrupt it first.

Read at your own risk.

The Absolute Value of Hester

About The Absolute Value of Hester

She wasn’t born Hester, of course. But her real name, Ysmr Kolisnychenko, is such a mouthful, especially in rural Iowa. So when she leaves Ukraine to marry Nathan Branch —  a man she met through an online mail-order-bride dating service — and moves to America, Ysmr chooses a more American sounding name to go with her new American life. Nathan proves to be a kind, if distant husband, but his daughter Monday is not so welcoming. Fourteen, and brimming with resentment, Monday makes no secret of her animosity to her dad’s Ukrainian “child bride.”

Not long after Hester arrives, the quiet town is shocked by the abduction and murder of Holly Sonderman, a seventeen year old girl from Monday’s high school. Rumors fly. There are a lot of suspects, but none of them quite add up. When it is revealed that Nathan knew the girl, the town sheriff becomes convinced that he is involved. Nathan insists he only casually met the girl, he barely remembered her. But he has no alibi, and suspicion infects the town. And there is much that is mysterious about the man. He keeps odd hours, and disappears for days at a time to visit a cabin somewhere in the woods, and the fate of Holly Sonderman may not be the only secret he is hiding. What has Hester gotten herself into?

Part police procedural, part family drama, The Absolute Value of Hester is a narrative told in layers from shifting perspectives, all adding up to a story about hope, about trust, and about the importance of believing.
