The Great Divide: When Earth Lost Its Shadow

 

Two people looking over alien landscape.

The Great Divide:

When Earth Lost Its Shadow


What would happen if, overnight, every person of African descent vanished from the world?
In this powerful and thought-provoking story, an entire race disappears without warning. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones are gone—taken to a new world, free from the oppression and injustices they faced on Earth. In this untouched land, they have a chance to rebuild a society from the ground up, shaping their own future without interference.
But even with this newfound freedom, challenges quickly surface. The trauma of the past, old divisions, and deep-rooted pain follow them into this new world. As they struggle to unite and build a better future, they must also face tough questions about identity, history, and what true freedom really means.
Back on Earth, the sudden absence sparks a global crisis. With no one left to blame, the world’s social and political systems begin to crack under the pressure. Some people want to understand what happened, while others scramble to hold on to power or take advantage of the situation. As fear and confusion grow, society is forced to confront long-ignored truths about race, privilege, and inequality.
Told through the eyes of two siblings—a determined Black woman and her brother, a Black gay man—this story explores race, power, community, and the human habit of creating divisions. In a world where the oppressed are suddenly free, and the oppressors are left to face themselves, the question remains: can either side build something better, or will old patterns simply return in new forms?

The Devil You Don't Know

 

Young Girl in a Dress

The Devil You Don't Know


The Devil You don't Know Kindle Edition by Joseph Douglas (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (1) “The Devil You Don't Know” is a psychological suspense novella about a mysterious encounter between an old, broken-down man and an unnervingly self-possessed young girl in a decaying, claustrophobic 12x12 room. The narrative unfolds almost entirely in this singular setting—a room steeped in rot, nicotine, and memory, where time feels suspended. The little girl, ethereal in appearance and disturbingly mature in presence, contrasts starkly with the ruined space and the withering man across from her. While outwardly a child, her gaze suggests centuries of lived experience. The Old Man, a relic of his own bad choices, sits before her, consumed by anxiety and haunted recognition. As the story progresses, it's revealed that this isn't a random meeting but a reckoning. The novel explores themes of guilt, memory, and the inescapable consequences of past sins through sparse, unsettling dialogue and silence that speaks louder than words. The girl acts less like a person and more like a force—perhaps a judge, a ghost, or a fragment of the Old Man’s tortured psyche. As the psychological tension builds, readers are left to question: Is this a supernatural confrontation, a metaphor for dying regret, or something far worse? “The Devil you don't know” is a slow-burning descent into one man’s hell, triggered not by violence, but by the quiet, unbearable presence of truth.

The Golden Box

 Book Cover Cardboard Box


The Golden Box



Unlocking the Past, One Treasure at a Time: Inside The Golden Box by Cassie A. Hunter Macedo

In Cassie A. Hunter Macedo’s nostalgic and heartwarming debut novel, The Golden Box, readers are transported to 1945 Kalamazoo, Michigan—a town where the leaves fall like golden confetti, and childhood is filled with wide-eyed wonder. Against this charming backdrop unfolds the story of five unforgettable kids: Bobby, Jason, Jody, Sarah, and the newest member of their tight-knit group, Adam.

What starts as a simple game—collecting found objects in a cardboard box—soon becomes something far more meaningful. From a pocket watch to a broken necklace, each item they discover seems to whisper of a past life. With each new trinket placed inside what they come to call “The Golden Box,” the kids begin to sense that their treasures may hold secrets—engraved initials, hidden compartments, even pieces of untold history that connect them in ways they never expected.

But this isn’t just a mystery story. It’s a journey through growing up—navigating schoolyard bullies, budding friendships, family complexities, and the quiet strength it takes to be different. Adam’s arrival into the group brings new questions, new dynamics, and a fresh reminder of what it means to belong. Meanwhile, Bobby’s struggle with learning challenges adds a layer of emotional depth that many readers—young and old—will relate to.

"A charming tale of friendship, adventure, and the hidden treasures that shape who we become."

- Greg P.

Macedo’s vivid storytelling style immerses readers in the sights, sounds, and feelings of postwar small-town America. The characters are not just believable—they’re lovable. The kids are clever, loyal, and curious, and the story invites readers to view the world through their hopeful eyes.

The Golden Box is a coming-of-age tale brimming with warmth, mystery, and meaning. Perfect for fans of stories like Bridge to Terabithia, Stand by Me, or The Goonies, this novel celebrates friendship, resilience, and the little discoveries that can change everything. At its core, it’s a reminder that sometimes the real treasures are the people beside us—and the memories we make along the way.

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse (Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)

Book Cover Yellow Flower with Eye in Center

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse

(Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)


🚀 New Release: Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse
From award-winning author Jeremy Clift comes a bold new entry in the Sci-Fi Galaxy series—Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse—a visionary tale of humanity on the brink and the future of life itself.

Space was meant to save us. Instead, it’s where the next war begins. And one mother’s love may be the last defense of human freedom. As Earth collapses under climate and food crises, rival powers battle for control of a lunar Seed Vault holding humanity’s last genetic hope. But the true prize lies beyond the Vault—it’s Diana, a child engineered for survival in deep space. Hunted by the ruthless Consortium that created her, Diana’s only protector is her mother, Teagan Ward, a former captive of lunar experiments. With alien alliances breaking and AIs shaping the future of evolution, Teagan flees to the Tritans—an endangered species with their own secrets.
As species clash and ideologies fracture, one truth remains: The vault is the code. The seed eclipse is the signal. The child is the key. And unanswered, the question continues: Who owns Life? In the battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.
Exploring the ethics of genomic manipulation, the politics of AI-controlled ecosystems, and the meaning of identity in an age when memory, consciousness, and DNA can all be commodified, the novel is set in a future of ecological collapse and interstellar ambition as competing forces battle of over humankind’s last viable seed vault concealed beneath the lunar surface. As Earth’s food systems come under stress, control of the genetic blueprints for survival has become the ultimate currency. But the vault’s value goes beyond crops—it hides secrets about human genetic engineering, buried experiments, and the next phase of evolution. At the heart of the novel is Teagan Ward, a mother on the run from powerful corporations who see her genetically enhanced daughter not as a child—but as a biological asset. Caught between rogue AIs, alien factions, and biotech conglomerates, Teagan must outmaneuver those who would rewrite humanity's genetic future in their image. Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller about who owns life, what makes us human, and how far we’ll go to protect the next generation.

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.

You and the Sunshine, Dylan: The Life and Times of a Caring Friend

The Life and Times of a Caring Friend

Author : Linda Sanders

The Healing Presence of a Golden Heart: A Reflection on You and the Sunshine, Dylan


There are animals who become part of our families—and then there are animals who become part of the world. In You and the Sunshine, Dylan, Linda Sanders takes us on an unforgettable journey with her golden retriever, Dylan, whose life was more than extraordinary—it was transformative.


This is not just the story of a beloved pet. This is the story of a companion who became a quiet but powerful force in the lives of many. From nursing homes and hospitals to schools, parades, and memorial services, Dylan’s golden presence radiated comfort, connection, and healing. Through therapy work, grief

outreach, and community service, he offered what few could: solace in silence, a moment of peace, and a reassuring sense that everything would be okay—even when it may not be.


Through Sanders’ graceful and deeply personal narrative, we see not only the love between a dog and his human but the impact of that love on others. Dylan’s story becomes a lens through which we explore what it truly means to give—to offer time, presence, and heart without ever expecting anything in return.


"A heartwarming tribute to an extraordinary therapy dog….a poignant celebration of unconditional love, healing, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals."


- Greg P.


More than just a memoir, You and the Sunshine, Dylan is a gentle meditation on loss and hope, service and love. It is a tribute to the kind of healing that transcends words, and to the quiet strength of animals who remind us to simply be. Dylan was not a trained therapist in the traditional sense—but he offered therapy in its purest form: connection, comfort, and unconditional acceptance.


Linda Sanders writes with tenderness and clarity, inviting readers to reflect on the moments in life when we are held together by grace—grace that often comes with fur, floppy ears, and a wagging tail. Her storytelling is layered with warmth, subtle humor, and quiet reverence, drawing us into a world where one dog’s service became a living testimony of love in action.


Whether you’ve known the companionship of a therapy animal or simply marveled at the gentle wisdom of dogs, this book will stir something within you. It’s not only a celebration of Dylan’s legacy but a reminder of our own capacity for kindness, empathy, and presence.


Because sometimes, the greatest teachers come without words—only wagging tails and golden hearts.
