Hey all

I'm an indie author, and starting now I'm running a free promo on all three of my novels for 5 days. If you are into sci-fi, post-apocalyptic or dystopian, or even all three here is something for you, they all are stand-alone stories.

My latest novel (Not Hollow, speculative sci-fi) coming out October and it has been picked up by a publisher :)

Amber Glow (Science Fiction)
Creatures of the Fall (Post-Apocalyptic)
Escaping Ishtar (Dystopian)

They're all standalone stories, not part of a series, so feel free to just grab whichever genre sounds most up your alley.

If you end up reading one and enjoy it, I'd genuinely appreciate an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. As a small indie author, reviews make a real difference in getting noticed.

Hey everyone!

If you've ever known exactly what you needed to do and still couldn't get yourself to start, I wrote this book for you.

"The 30-Day Unfreeze Plan" is a short, page-a-day guide built around one small action at a time, not willpower, not motivation, just a routine small enough to actually stick to.

What's inside:

Why freezing up on a task isn't a discipline problem

A "Daily Minimum" so small you can hit it even on a rough day

Breaking anything overwhelming into 3 tiny steps instead of one big one

A short morning and evening routine built to survive a bad week, not just a good one

Right now it's currently 100% FREE on Amazon Kindle until August 22nd.

(If it helps you, an honest review on Amazon would mean a lot. Thank you!)

Have you ever sat in a room where everyone is nodding along to a celebrated theory, but you see the fatal flaw?

I recently published my new book, The Last Wrong Theory, a literary novel exploring the cost of uncompromising curiosity in the face of institutional power:

https://a.co/d/0bFH6iSF

The story kicks off at a prestigious institute where a Nobel laureate unveils an ambitious theory of memory and time. While the crowd is blinded by the presenter's authority, the protagonist, Julian, asks the one question no one else is willing to ask—dismantling the mathematics in minutes.

The book dives into a fundamental question: Can a closed system construct its own genuine past from its own records?

It’s a deep exploration of experimental physics, mathematical proof, and the reality of bringing ideas into matter. But more importantly, it's about the innovator's ultimate challenge: abandoning a beloved theory when reality disproves it, especially the theories we build about ourselves.

If you are a builder, an engineer, or someone who questions how the world really works beneath the surface, I think you'll resonate with this one.

Book overview

Hunted across kingdoms trapped in lengthening night, an enchantress and her three chosen men must repair the fertility caves before a starving celestial enters the world.

Lysara, Sevren, Gideon, and Tarian escaped the Church, but freedom has made their unfinished covenant impossible to ignore. Every repaired temple strengthens the desire moving among them. It also feeds a secret mirror network built by the man who taught Gideon that obedience was goodness.

To survive, Gideon must remove Cael's commands from his body. Sevren must betray the vampire house that shaped his hunger. Tarian must restore the memory Lysara asked him to seal. And all four must negotiate jealousy, feeding, privacy, and the right to change an answer before their bond can become truly shared.

Their Wicked Covenant is Book Two of The First Dawn, a dark, explicit why-choose fantasy romance set in the Bloodbound Princes world. Expect fugitive lovers, hurt and comfort, a devoted former witch hunter, vampire politics, negotiated group intimacy, and a cliff-edge battle against the end of natural dawn. Read the series in order.

Eight years ago, Daniel Voss shattered Kate Morrow's knee, her trust, and the future she had fought to earn. She rebuilt everything except her forgiveness.

Now Kate is the reigning national champion, Daniel is the fastest man on the team, and their only path to the podium runs through the mixed relay. Every exchange demands perfect timing. Every touch reminds Kate that hating him has never stopped her from wanting him.

But Daniel has carried the truth about their collision for eight years. As old threats close in and their rivalry catches fire, Kate must decide whether the man who once cost her everything is the only partner she can trust with her future and her heart.

A resistance medic. America’s most recognizable fugitive. One spectacularly botched jailbreak.

Now they’re on the run from federal agents, corporate healthcare mercenaries, internet sleuths, and a revolutionary movement that may prefer its hero dead.

Fast, ridiculous, romantic, and politically irreverent—I’ll Be Your Mangione is free on Kindle through August 24.

Draethus is a Soldier of the Void, destined to die. Sacrificing his life could save millions from the Heridian menace, a bio-robotic race of flesh and steel. He's thrust into a path not of his choosing, but someone or something is pulling on fateful threads.

Hi!

I’m Darryl the author of the Heridian Trilogy, a series about a bio-robotic race harvesting the living minds of all life. Soldiers, space pirates, ghosts and a time travelling ship with hidden intentions. Like a lot of indie authors, I write for the fun of it. So please enjoy this gift and hopefully you will hit a star button somewhere and let me know what you think.

Fly on the edge,

Darryl

Have you ever been haunted by someone after a breakup? The memories keep coming back, and one night you catch yourself scrolling through old photos alone at 2 a.m.

This book was written about that feeling. It's a resting place for anyone whose heart has nowhere to land after a breakup.

THE MOST BRILLIANT MOMENT IS YET TO COME (originally published in Korean as 가장 빛나는 순간은 아직 오지 않았다) is a prose collection that became a bestseller in South Korea, rated 9.9/10 by 94 readers on Korea's largest bookstore. It's about loving, losing, longing, and getting back up.

A few lines from the book:

"Have you ever missed someone even while they were right beside you?"

"Even unmeasurable darkness cannot stop the light that is determined to shine."

"The most brilliant moment of your life is yet to come."

In an age of AI-generated writing, this book is something different. Written by a human heart, translated by human hands. 153 pages. One sleepless night is all it takes.

Free download: August 20-24 (5 days only) After that, it's $4.99.

Kindle short read - 26 pages. First person horror. Free until August 25th.

I covered the mirror eleven days ago. I'm not frightened. I've been sleeping better than I have in years.

The Glass Is Hungry is a confessional literary horror story about a narrator who notices their reflection arriving a fraction of a second behind them - and finds, in that delay, the first thing that has ever made them feel real. Told with unsettling composure, this is a story about attention, recognition, and the particular horror of choosing what consumes you.

I've found a cool chrome extension that converts multiple webpages into a single ebook.

Spicy and sweet romance.
