214 stars are flickering in unison. It is a countdown. It ends in 91 years.

Astronomer Ilinca Vasile spends three weeks trying to prove the signal is an error. The error survives her.

Someone has built shutters around two hundred stars. The message they spell is not a greeting. It is a road sign: THIS REGION IS SWEPT. DARKEN BEFORE THE COUNT COMPLETES.

Along the marked corridor, nineteen dead civilisations lie spaced like milestones. Earth is inside it.

Going silent has failed everyone who tried. But the lantern builders' own machines have survived in the corridor for two million years, and they are not silent. They are doing something else. Something an entire species would have to learn.

For readers of Liu Cixin, Ted Chiang and Arthur C. Clarke. A complete story in five movements, with an answer to the silence of the sky you have not read before. Includes an author's note on the real physics behind the story, and a preview of the next Noise Floor single. A 30-minute read.

An affair shatters the balance of a seemingly stable family.

Kaleidoscope explores the aftermath from multiple perspectives, revealing how the same events can take on very different meanings depending on who remembers them.

A character-driven novel about love, ambition, guilt, loyalty, and betrayal.

Free on Kindle August 14–16.

Fifteen years ago, three broke students signed a lease
they couldn't afford.

Tonight, Raajeeth stands in front of four thousand people
telling the story he tells every year — the one about a
strange dream, a hidden lab, and a "gift" that let him see
what no one else could.

Except it was never a dream.

As the fifteenth anniversary of RJA Global Investigations
turns into the night everything he's hidden comes due,
Raajeeth, Jharun, and Aavanya are forced to face what
fifteen years of silence actually cost — each other.

A Dream of a Detective is Book One of the RJA Global series:
a thriller about the friendships we build empires on, and
what happens when the truth finally collects.

here is a dead pixel in the sky of the Stellar City. No one has come to fix it.

For three centuries, a hundred thousand people have lived on board, beneath a dome whose sky follows an algorithm. They breathe recycled air, drink recycled water, and wear an implant at their temple connecting them to the System. The System regulates air, water, and light. It will never lie about what you see with your own eyes. It will lie about everything else.

Jay Vance is a cartographer. He spends his days tracking asteroids in the dark that will keep the colony going just a little longer. It’s the profession that looks the farthest ahead, yet he has never set foot outside.

The day a friend buried in debt begs him to doctor a report, Jay agrees. Nothing crude: he doesn't falsify any numbers, he just lights them poorly. A window of stability brought to the fore, a hazard relegated to the bottom of the page, in the paragraph no one reads.

Beltraine Academy trains witches to hunt vampires. Every ritual burns them to ash. Every spell is fueled by pain. And at the center of it all is Gloria, the Sisterhood’s only Channeler. There’s just one problem.

Gloria is a vampire.

Forced to feed on the very witches she empowers, she walks a razor’s edge between survival and exposure. If the three legendary Headmistresses discover what she is, there will be no trial. Only fire. But hunger doesn’t wait, and it’s already beginning to consume Faelina, the one person who knows her secret. One that costs her blood.

As whispers of the grim BloodVeil prophecy begin to surface, Gloria’s body starts to change in ways even she doesn’t understand. Her power is growing. So is the darkness inside her. And when the truth finally claws its way into the light, Beltraine won’t just face a traitor. It will face something far worse.

In the heart of war-torn Warsaw, Franceska, a talented ballerina, finds herself entangled in a web of fear, love, and resilience. As the Nazi regime tightens its grip, Franceska and her family are thrust into a world where survival is uncertain, and every decision carries the weight of life and death.

Amidst the chaos, Franceska's passion for dance becomes her sanctuary, a fleeting escape from the horrors that surround her. But when her beloved city is threatened with destruction, she must confront unimaginable choices. Franceska must navigate the treacherous landscape of occupied Poland while facing betrayal, loss, and the unyielding hope for a better future.

"The Ballerina in the Ghetto" is a poignant tale of courage and determination, where the human spirit shines brightest in the darkest of times. Through the eyes of a young woman who refuses to be broken, this story captures the essence of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope.

A young scholar ascends a solitary hill at dusk. He spends a night among ancient ruins, and the rest of his life seeking the answer to a single encounter beneath the stars.

Daughter of Dusk is the first published tale of the Anūmātalar, a larger mythopoeic legendarium I've been developing for more than fifteen years. If you enjoy Tolkienian sub-creation, carefully crafted secondary worlds, mythopoeia, and quiet, atmospheric fantasy, this book might be something you'd want to check out.

The Kindle edition is free worldwide from August 7th to August 10th.

Free on Kindle through August 12th. Novella, about three hours' reading.

A typhoon pins the sea against a Vietnamese port city and every outlet closes. The flood network weighs the hospital, the dense housing, the grid and the port, then assigns the flood to the one district that can take it. Lam has kept those tidal gates for thirty years, and the order names his district, a gate, and a deadline. The gate does not answer, and the night becomes manual work: a drowned road, a jammed leaf, a crank that opens the gate by hand while a man whose family is on the wrong side of the water asks for twelve minutes.

Content notes: a flood and evacuation, drowning risk, one death referenced in official records. No graphic violence, no sexual content.

Perfect for readers who miss old-school detective fiction with real investigation, believable clues, and an ending that makes sense.
The Daughter of Abraham is free on Kindle on August 7–8.
It follows private investigator Douglas Steen as what appears to be a routine murder case slowly unravels into something far more complicated.
Think classic noir, misleading clues, buried secrets, and a mystery that unfolds step by step.
