The Timekeeper’s Compass: A Novel of Adventure, Time Travel, and Self-Discovery

About The Timekeeper’s Compass: A Novel of Adventure, Time Travel, and Self-Discovery

The Timekeeper’s Compass
A Time-Travel Adventure About History, Courage, and the Power of Being Different

Eleven-year-old Liam Chen has always felt out of place in a world obsessed with screens and selfies. But when he discovers a mysterious brass compass hidden among his late grandfather’s belongings, his life is turned upside down. The moment Liam touches it, the compass awakens—glowing with ancient symbols and humming with strange energy. He’s just been chosen as the next Timekeeper, protector of the timeline itself.

Swept into the past, Liam’s first stop is 1943 France—where he meets his grandfather as a teenage resistance fighter helping Jewish families escape the Nazis. But something is terribly wrong. History is being rewritten by the Chronos Collective, a group of rogue time travelers who believe they can create a perfect world by erasing humanity’s darkest moments.

Guided by Eldric, a wise and ancient Timekeeper, Liam must journey through pivotal moments in history—from medieval markets to the burning streets of London in 1666, to the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Along the way, he discovers that pain and progress are woven together—and that even the worst chapters of history carry lessons the world must never forget.

But the biggest twist comes when Liam faces the leader of the Collective: a future version of himself, broken by time and determined to wipe suffering from the past—no matter the cost.

Can Liam protect the past, preserve the future, and find the courage to embrace who he truly is?

Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Percy Jackson, and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Timekeeper’s Compass is a thrilling time-travel adventure that explores the value of imperfection, the strength in being different, and the legacy we leave behind.

Falling for a Firefighter by Engr. Tayyab Iqbal

About Falling for a Firefighter by Engr. Tayyab Iqbal

She wasn’t looking for a family. He already had one. 💔🔥

Alice Bennett came to Willow Creek to disappear. She wanted peace, anonymity, and freedom from heartbreak. Love was dangerous. Trust was foolish. And forever love? Impossible.

Then came Mason Hale.

Broad-shouldered, protective, and devastatingly handsome, Mason is the local firefighter who commands attention wherever he goes. But behind his dependable exterior lies grief that never fades and a promise that his heart is off-limits. As a devoted single dad to a bright-eyed little girl, he’s convinced himself love isn’t worth the risk.

Until Alice.

From the moment Alice and Mason cross paths, sparks ignite in ways neither expected. A fundraiser forces them together. A storm tests their strength. And every glance, every late-night conversation, every accidental touch blurs the line between caution and longing.

Falling for a Firefighter is a heartfelt small-town romance about love, family, and second chances. Perfect for fans of protective heroes, emotional slow-burn romance, and happily-ever-afters.

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.

Burnt Letters

About Burnt Letters

What if the love you craved became the fire that almost destroyed you?
Burnt Letters is a searing, poetic memoir from Christina—a woman who thought she was stepping into a fresh start, only to find herself ensnared in a toxic web of love-bombing, manipulation, and emotional abuse at the hands of Frank, a man whose charm masked a darker truth.
Told through haunting unsent letters and fragmented memories, this raw narrative exposes the invisible wounds left by childhood trauma and the suffocating grip of toxic love. It’s a journey through whispered doubts, shattered illusions, and the relentless fight to reclaim a silenced voice.

Christina’s story unflinchingly reveals the devastating power of gaslighting and shame to erode identity—and the fierce, messy, unyielding process of rising from the ashes. Along the way, trusted friends and a relentless therapist light the path toward self-discovery and healing, while the inner child once buried beneath layers of pain slowly finds her way back to life.
Burnt Letters isn’t about neat endings or quick fixes. It’s battlefield poetry for anyone who has ever felt invisible, broken, or trapped—and for those ready to claim their power and rewrite their story.

If you’ve ever whispered, “Why didn’t she just leave?”—this book offers no excuses. It offers a mirror. A reckoning. A hand reaching out from the dark, inviting you to feel the fire—and rise.
Because some stories aren’t just told—they burn.
Perfect for survivors of emotional abuse, trauma-informed clinicians, and anyone ready to face the raw, unfiltered truth about love, loss, and healing.
