Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears

Book Cover - Dragon Fly




When silence shatters beneath the weight of truth, the first light of healing begins to rise—quietly, bravely, and without apology.

In Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears, readers are invited into a life that moves through pain, secrecy, and personal transformation—with honesty that’s both tender and unflinching. This is not just a memoir; it’s a courageous reckoning. 


Tamara Rivera walks us through deeply personal memories of growing up in a religious, conservative household where the expectations of conformity left little room for her to express her authentic self. From early confusion about her identity to the emotional toll of navigating rejection, love, loss, and spiritual conflict, Tamara’s story gives voice to those who have felt unseen for far too long.


What makes this memoir unforgettable is its raw honesty and unapologetic vulnerability. Tamara doesn't write to seek sympathy—she writes to be heard, to stand in her truth, and to reach those who may be walking a similar road. “Tamara Rivera’s memoir is a moving and triumphant story of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of embracing one’s true identity,” shares reviewer Greg P.—and that sentiment echoes through every page. 


Her relationship with God, her parents, and ultimately herself evolves across each chapter—giving readers a layered look into what it means to search for acceptance without abandoning faith. There is heartache, yes—but also incredible strength. There is loss—but also restoration. 


Tamara’s Journey Through Trials and Tears is not just for those in the LGBTQ+ community orthose grappling with religion—it’s for anyone who’s ever felt conflicted between who they are and who the world told them to be. For those seeking hope, clarity, or simply the comfort of knowing they’re not alone, this memoir offers that and more.


It’s not a story of perfection. It’s a story of truth—and in that truth, readers will find healing.





The Soulmate Prophecy: The Birth

  Book Cover Pyramids




Some stories ask what if—but The Soulmate Prophecy – The Birth dares to ask what always was.


In this sweeping and imaginative first installment of Yasmina Haque’s genre-defying series, past, present, and future collide in a breathtaking journey that explores soul connections, reincarnation, divine science, and the invisible threads of fate. The Birth spans continents, timelines, and dimensions— inviting readers into a deeply woven narrative that stretches from modern-day Michigan and a secret underwater world, all the way back to a small village in ancient Egypt.


At the heart of the story is Lovelin—a bestselling author struggling with writer’s block and haunted by visions she can’t explain. As she searches for creative inspiration, she unknowingly steps into the pull of a prophecy that has followed her for lifetimes. Meanwhile, Kaelyn Stonebridge, a genetically engineered genius living in a covert underwater civilization known as the Underground, faces the unraveling of scientific perfection as strange dreams and synchronicities lead him toward something—or someone— he cannot ignore.


Woven between their stories are the lives of Maya and Amir, two souls bound by an ancient promise and divine timing. Their love, tested across time and tradition, echoes forward into the lives of Lovelin and Kaelyn, forcing each of them to confront truth, memory, and destiny itself.


With poetic language, philosophical depth, and vivid settings—from luxurious subterrain laboratories to windswept Egyptian sands—Haque crafts a story that’s as intellectually stirring as it is emotionally resonant. The science of genetic manipulation meets the mysticism of prophecy, and readers are left to ponder: What happens when science catches up to the soul?


More than just a love story, The Soulmate Prophecy – The Birth is a bold meditation on longing, reincarnation, and the nature of divine connection. It is a spiritual odyssey, a speculative wonder, and a reminder that the heart remembers—even when the mind has forgotten.


This book is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, romantic fantasy, and metaphysical thrillers. As the first in a visionary series, The Birth sets a high bar for what’s to come—and leaves readers eager to follow the prophecy wherever it leads.

PROJET LITHIUM

 Book Cover




L’HISTOIRE Au cœur des glaces nordiques, une découverte archéologique menace de bouleverser l’histoire humaine. Élisa Torres, brillante chercheuse est appelée en Norvège pour analyser d’anciens artefacts retrouvés sous la mer du Nord. Mais lorsqu’un mystérieux silex identique est mis au jour à des milliers de kilomètres, au cœur du désert de Salars d’Uyuni, en Bolivie, une énigme scientifique et géopolitique se dessine. Entre explorations sous-marines, secrets enfouis et enjeux environnementaux, Élisa et son équipe se retrouvent pris dans une course contre la montre. Entre le passé et l’avenir, entre savoir et pouvoir, une seule question demeure : jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour révéler – ou dissimuler – la vérité ? SYNOPSIS Ce roman Projet Lithium s’appuie sur des références variées, allant de l’histoire (conquête espagnole, civilisations perdues), à la psychologie (modèles de personnalité, éducation), en passant par la géopolitique (exploitation du lithium), la technologie (IA et énergies renouvelables), et l’anthropologie (systèmes d’écriture). L’univers décrit dans ce projet entre en résonance avec plusieurs courants de pensée contemporains, notamment : • L’idée d’une civilisation avancée et cachée (Luminia), inspirée par les théories alternatives sur Doggerland et les civilisations englouties. • Une approche éducative innovante, fondée sur des principes psychologiques éprouvés (Jung, Berne, Bandura). • Une vision technologique et écologique, proche des travaux de Rifkin et Smil sur les villes durables. • L’importance croissante de l’IA, illustrée par des références à Minsky, Bostrom et Kurzweil. Un thriller scientifique haletant où l’archéologie, la psychologie et la géopolitique se mêlent dans une quête fascinante aux confins du monde et de l’histoire.

English Translation:

THE STORY

Deep in the Nordic ice, an archaeological discovery threatens to upend human history. Élisa Torres, a brilliant researcher, is called to Norway to analyze ancient artifacts found under the North Sea. But when a mysterious, identical flint is unearthed thousands of kilometers away, in the heart of the Salars de Uyuni desert in Bolivia, a scientific and geopolitical enigma emerges. Between underwater exploration, buried secrets, and environmental issues, Élisa and her team find themselves caught in a race against time. Between past and future, between knowledge and power, only one question remains: how far are we willing to go to reveal—or conceal—the truth?

SYNOPSIS This novel, Project Lithium, draws on a variety of references, ranging from history (Spanish conquest, lost civilizations), to psychology (personality models, education), through geopolitics (lithium mining), technology (AI and renewable energies), and anthropology (writing systems).

The universe described in this project resonates with several contemporary schools of thought, including:

• The idea of an advanced and hidden civilization (Luminia), inspired by alternative theories on Doggerland and sunken civilizations.
• An innovative educational approach, based on proven psychological principles (Jung, Berne, Bandura).
• A technological and ecological vision, close to the work of Rifkin and Smil on sustainable cities.
• The growing importance of AI, illustrated by references to Minsky, Bostrom and Kurzweil.

A gripping scientific thriller where archaeology, psychology, and geopolitics combine in a fascinating quest to the far reaches of the world and history.

WAITING FOR MYSELF: An Inspirational Memoir

 Book Cover


WAITING FOR MYSELF:

An Inspirational Memoir


One moment, life was normal. Then, everything changed. Nothing made sense anymore. Leaving the hospital should have meant healing, but instead, it felt like being cast out, broken and unprepared. The expectation was to be fixed, to return to life as it was. Instead, the world became overwhelming — sounds too loud, lights too bright, crowds unbearable. The mind and body had their limits, and too often, those limits came too soon. But walking away wasn’t an option. This is a story of pain, confusion, and loss. But it is also a story of endurance and facing a reality that was never expected. Finding a way forward, even when the path is unclear. Waiting for Myself is a journey through the unseen struggles of traumatic brain injury and the fight to rebuild a life that no longer feels like the one left behind.
This eBook has been a five-year process. Confronting the past can be daunting and challenging, but this story had to be told.

This profound insight from Brené Brown sets the foundation for "The Power of Pain: Transforming Suffering into Strength and Success," where Ivan Lozada unveils a transformative journey from devastating hardship to profound purpose.

Through masterfully crafted stories of remarkable individuals like Elon Musk's near-bankruptcy experiences, Malala Yousafzai's response to violence, and Nelson Mandela's transcendent forgiveness, readers witness the universal truth that our greatest pain can be alchemized into our greatest power. Lozada expertly explores Viktor Frankl's revolutionary insights about finding meaning in suffering, presents fascinating discoveries from modern neuroscience on resilience, and offers practical, evidence-based strategies for navigating life's darkest moments. Each chapter concludes with thoughtfully designed reflective exercises that guide readers to harness their specific pain points, cultivate lasting resilience, discover profound meaning in suffering, and unlock hidden strengths to overcome challenges in relationships, career transitions, health crises, and identity struggles.

It delivers both profound wisdom and immediately applicable guidance, demonstrating that our most extraordinary strengths often emerge precisely from our most excruciating pain.
