Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted

About Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted

Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted is a gritty, high-stakes YA dystopian thriller that blends heart-pounding action with raw emotional depth.

Calla never asked to be a hero — she just wanted to survive. Raised in the shadows of a fractured world, she hides her intelligence behind sharp wit and a guarded exterior. But when she’s assigned to an elite operations team, her past refuses to stay buried. Whispers of a classified mission known only as Sparrow Nest ignite a dangerous hunt for the truth — one that could expose secrets powerful enough to burn the system to the ground.

As loyalty fractures and alliances shift, Calla must decide who she can trust before the clock runs out. Because in this world, survival isn’t just about staying alive — it’s about protecting the few people worth dying for.

Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down, Operation: Blackout // Status: Redacted will leave readers breathless and questioning how far they’d go to fight for their place in a broken world. Available on Amazon.

About The Soul Unleashed: A Left-Brained Skeptic’s Journey into Signs, Spirit, and the Afterlife by Mike Nicholas

What if the only thing that could break your rigid worldview…was grief?

Mike Nicholas spent his life grounded in discipline, logic, and science—first as a West Point graduate and Army officer, then as an engineer. But when his son died, the unthinkable happened: he began receiving Signs. Undeniable, deeply personal Signs that pointed to something beyond this life.

With clarity and candor, he explores near-death experiences, energy, mediums, and messages from the beyond—all while honoring his analytical roots. This memoir is not only a personal testament but also a guide for those who question everything and now need answers.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the soul survives, or felt a presence you couldn’t explain, this book offers a path forward—grounded, rational, and deeply human.

Perfect for logical thinkers navigating grief or opening to new spiritual possibilities, The Soul Unleashed invites you to explore the unknown with both head and heart.

You don’t have to let go of logic to believe in something more.

Magnificent Mansions

About Magnificent Mansions

Do you feel your life has been thrown away? If so, “Magnificent Mansions” is for you. It will make you think again. This book presents a true story and a compelling discussion about hope for seemingly wasted and unfulfilled lives. The discourse challenges some paradigms or dogmas that unnecessarily lead to frustration and disappointment among many Christians. The message intends for you to look at God, His work in us, and through us.

Matt Louis McCullough demonstrates through relatable and unique perspectives the freedom we can find in loving and being loved by God and trusting His work in us. For decades the author lay awake at night praying to sense some specific purpose and direction but experienced only long periods of silence. He withdraws to the grand arenas of nature and reflects on his outings. Whether within the mountains or oceans, he receives glimpses of the sublime nature of God. Yet Matt finds the most spectacular views are of the rooms being built in our Father’s house. Through scriptural revelations and seeing a noble presence in others, he finds new hope about His life and the room Christ can make for him. May you, too, have this hope and a good glimpse of the magnificent place and life He is preparing for you. Even out of the refuse, God is building a glorious life for His children. And it is grander than we realize!

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…?
