A Shadow's Whisper

(The Shadow of Argion Book 1)


Every man has a shadow—a voice that tempts, pulls, and whispers promises of power. Some fight it and rise above. Others give in and fall.

In the kingdom of Argion, dark days have begun. Duvessia has seized the throne of Norbai, her ambitions threatening to plunge the land into chaos. Jak only wanted a quiet life, but when Duvessia’s elite warriors come for him, he’s forced to run for his life—dragged into a conflict far greater than he understands.

Meanwhile, Princess Helena of Sennelin is on a desperate mission to secure her kingdom’s future, and it all depends on finding Jak. As armies gather and kingdoms fall, Queen Treance entrusts a young commander with holding the line against Duvessia’s forces.

But something far worse stirs in the shadows. An ancient power awakens, seeking someone to wield its strength and bring about the end of Argion.

The battle for the world has begun, and the line between hero and villain is fading. When the shadow whispers, who will answer?

Pills and Me: My Spiral Into Addiction

   Book Cover


Pills and Me: My Spiral Into Addiction



They say the first taste of addiction often comes disguised as relief, and for Kevin Murray, that disguise was an innocent-looking white pill. Pills and Me: My Spiral into Addiction is an unflinchingly raw and personal account of a young man’s descent into opioid addiction—a journey from curiosity to survival in a world ravaged by a seemingly harmless but relentless beast.


As Kevin tells it, his addiction didn’t begin with a reckless choice. It began with exhaustion, loneliness, and a desire to feel anything other than the crushing weight of his circumstances. From his first Percocet in a flooded basement to the countless pills that followed, Kevin’s story pulls back the curtain on the gritty, complex layers of addiction. He confronts the dark places addiction took him—estranged relationships, near-daily despair, and a never-ending need to feel “okay.” Told in his own voice, Kevin’s story isn’t a glamorous or sanitized tale; it’s an honest look at what it means to lose control, fight for a second chance, and claw back one’s life.


For anyone who's been touched by addiction, whether directly or indirectly, Pills and Me provides a window into the battles that take place behind closed doors. This isn’t just Kevin’s story; it’s a testament to the resilience of those who refuse to surrender to the dark. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of the pull of addiction, the strength it takes to confront it, and the flicker of hope that can, at long last, spark a path toward recovery.

Rebel: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Unique Philosophy Of Living

Rebel:

How To Get The Most Out Of Your

Unique Philosophy Of Living


We enter the world screaming. At some point earlier in our lives... we stop.

We settle down. Conformity first encourages, then trains, and finally demands we put aside our blaring, obstinate, confrontational younger selves. To grow up to become affable and agreeable. To fit in and contribute as society envisions until our death day arrives and we leave without fuss or drama. A prepaid funeral, a final plus for good citizenship.

Aware of our uniqueness, we desire to fit in and be accepted as individuals. Our spark slowly extinguishing with stress and struggle, the world says any discontent is all on us—we choose and decide. It’s a little disingenuous. We inherit the guidelines and definitions of success. Pushed to pursuing knowledge and learning at the expense of seeking wisdom.

No wonder we revolt. Searching for some certainty, we form entrenched beliefs, highly motivated not to consider we might be wrong. Refusing to budge because at least what we defend at all costs is ours.

History shows there is a way to get the most out of our unique philosophy of living. The way of rebels who challenged the status quo, beginning with their own. They pushed boundaries, overcame impossible situations, discovered magical and unthinkable solutions.

In this quick read, we examine how we got to where we are now—why we stay there—and how to build a list of contrary rebel ideas to fully embrace our unique philosophy of living.
