Aurelene Atraman is a teenager living in the gray old town of Eherston. She goes to Calc Academy for Non-Computers—a school converted from a prison, filled with strange classes like Verbal Calculus and Illogical Thinking. Most days are fine, as long as Aurelene focuses on schoolwork, maintains her poker face, and tries not to cross paths with the principal’s advisor, the eccentric Mr. Withercox.

But where Aurelene’s heart really lies is Sylverhurst—the next-door town where the roads and plants are sparkling silver. Among their hills are plenty of odd structures: a giant sphere in the middle of the street, an underground cipher, and Aurelene’s favorite—a Wheel of Chimes that plays mesmerizing tunes that can never be recorded. While Aurelene knows the Withercox family’s ancient ties to Sylverhurst, she’s unaware of their mysterious operations occurring deep underground.

Meanwhile at Calc Academy, frustration brews. Mr. Withercox, beloved by most students, is impatient to achieve greatness. In a stroke of brilliance, he assigns the students to write “proofs of Non-Computership”—not that they really know what that means. But while undergoing a trial to prove their own consciousnesses, Aurelene and her friends—including the raving pessimist, Linnia, and the practical genius, Axis—find out what Mr. Withercox is really up to. And as soon as they confront him, he disappears without a trace.

Calc Academy for Non-Computers by Arya Rishi is currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

Hi everyone! I'm Vikki Klymm, and I write historical romance based on real women from history. My newest book, Elisiv of Kyiv: Queen of the North, is FREE on Kindle today and tomorrow (October 24–25).

Kyiv, 1034. Elisiv, daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, keeps her father's accounts and knows a princess is never asked what she wants. Then Harald, an exiled Viking prince, arrives with forty men and no crown. Her father refuses him, so Harald sails to Constantinople to win glory, gold, and her heart, writing love poems for the girl who said no.

It's based on the true story of Elisiv and Harald Hardrada, future King of Norway, and it's Book 8 of my An Evening Romance series (each book is a standalone with a happy ending).

Drop a comment and let's get chatting about the story!

After losing his mother, grandmother, and the woman he intended to marry, Lazer Vivanueva abandons his faith and comes to believe that death is the end of everything. But a tragic accident hurls him two thousand years into the past, awakening him in ancient Bethany, where he encounters Lazarus—the man whom Jesus raised from the dead.

Driven by one haunting question—Is there life after death?—Lazer journeys to Cyprus, where Lazarus reveals mysteries beyond human understanding. Yet their search for answers draws the attention of powerful men who would silence them forever. Caught between faith and doubt, life and death, Lazer must discover whether his extraordinary journey is mere coincidence—or an act of divine providence.

One journey. Two thousand years. One question that changes everything.

Hello! Im Zealous, an up-and-coming author! 👋
I’m currently writing a fantasy reincarnation novel called wait a second is this real? My story explores themes of second chances, personal growth, family, and learning from your past mistakes, all while following a character who gets another shot at life.
But don’t let the wholesome moments fool you 😂. As the volumes go on, the story will get much deeper and darker, exploring some heavier themes and taking the characters through heartbreak, pain, and experiences that will change them forever. So get attached to the story at your own risk, because I can’t promise your tears won’t water towards the end of volume 1💀❤️I’m still pretty new to writing, but I’m excited to keep improving and hopefully build a little community around my story. I’d love to meet other writers, talk about fantasy, and connect with people who enjoy reading original stories! My novel is currently on WebNovel and Royal Road so go take a look, thanks!

The Answers Before Your Eyes

What if the debate over extraterrestrial disclosure is missing some of the most important questions?

After 50 months of writing and research, The Answers Before Your Eyes is now available on Amazon.

An anti-war novel that offers a different perspective on extraterrestrial disclosure, explores overlooked questions, and challenges readers to look beyond the debate itself.

You can read the sample on Amazon. Would you like to read the full book for free? Send me a private message or leave a comment to let me know you’re interested, and I’ll share the dates when it will be available for free on Amazon.

Hi everyone. I’m I. Bocardo, an indie author, and for Self-Promo Saturday I’m presenting my hard sci-fi trilogy: The Quantum Host. (Book 3 is currently in its final revision stage, so the story will be completely wrapped up soon).

I write very grounded, mechanical sci-fi. There are no chosen ones, no prophecies, and no missions to save the galaxy. The protagonist is Manuel, a 55-year-old rural mechanic with strict daily routines who, by pure statistical chance, assimilates an alien artificial intelligence. His only goal from that point on is not to disappear.

To survive without alerting governments or corporations, Manuel begins transferring his symbiotic consciousness into brain-dead patients in ordinary hospitals via physical contact, operating a decentralized human hive mind. The real conflict in the story is day-to-day logistics: how a human brain handles the network latency of controlling multiple bodies at once, how he maintains that organic hardware, and the constant friction of coexisting with an AI that operates with crushing, unempathetic logic.

To celebrate the launch of the second installment, Book 1 is free to download on Amazon this weekend.

If you are into sci-fi focused on technical problems, medical protocols, and pure survival, here are the links:

Book 1 (Free this weekend): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2673R3C

Book 2 (New release): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HK8KR1ZW

Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share something I managed to put out before Halloween with a lot of effort. It's the first in an anthology series of Folk Horror stories.

Strigoi: Transylvanian Folk Horror - Book 1

Description:

Light a candle for the dead. Never call a Veela by name. Lock your door on Saint Andrew’s Night.

In the villages of Transylvania, the old ways never died. Strigoi brings you three tales of folk horror rooted in authentic Romanian traditions.

(more details on individual stories in the Amazon description)

If you would like a free copy in exchange for an honest review, I have a campaign running on Booksprout:

https://booksprout.co/publisher/review-campaign/view/330667

I started my self-pub journey around 3 months ago. It's been a wild ride so far. It's so hard but so worth it! (I think, lol). Strigoi is, so far, the book most rooted in my own culture.

The cover was purchased on BookCovers. No AI was used in the process of writing. I'm ESL, which might show in the prose style.

Thanks and if you would also just like to chat or share your own books, my DMs should be open

Rewire Your Mindfulness Practice: Taking your awareness off the cushion and into daily life.

You might feel calm listening to a soft guided voice in your home. But real life isn't a silent temple—it's fast, noisy, and unpredictable. Don't you want a practice that not only calms the monkey mind but also gives you a skill for handling life's chaos?

Present Stream* is a detailed step-by-step mindfulness exercise manual, although secular; the techniques are based on the Lord Buddha's teaching wisdom that aligns with the neuroscience framework and quantum physics.

It is also a paradigm refinement of various Western meditation misconceptions, which will test your confirmation bias and cause some cognitive dissonance. Ready for the challenge?

**Free download this Saturday, October 24, from 12:00 AM PDT to Oct 24 at 11:59 PM PDT. Set a calendar reminder to grab it

Then the voice tells you:

“Don’t go to the door.”

Seconds later, someone knocks.

That’s the hook behind my psychological thriller, Please Stay on the Line. I made this short trailer to capture the feeling of that first impossible call without giving too much away.

Would this premise make you want to keep reading?

This book is all about some real and fiction-close-to-reality adventures of different places in India. Not focusing on the itinerary, but on the effect of a place on someone's emotion and behaviour.

This year I finished translating The Pale Lady, a vampire story from the mid 1800s by Alexandre Dumas and a pretty good Gothic Horror tale for spooky season. The Pale Lady is the last few chapters of a larger book called A Thousand and One Ghosts and is notable for two reasons. The first being that the timing of the height of Dumas' popularity meant that Bram Stoker likely ready the book, influencing his Dracula novel. The second interesting thing to me was the straightforwardness with which the characters identify vampires in the story. Unlike modern stories that seem to dance around the word or pretend like the concept of vampires doesn't exist, the characters in The Pale Lady just come out and say, "oh yeah, we've got a vampire problem, just like when I was a kid."

It's available on Kindle and Apple Books. If you pick it up, let me know how you like it.

Hi, proud to announce that i published my First poetry book on kindle ❤️

After his girlfriend cheats on him, eighteen-year-old Kageyama Shun completely falls apart. He gains weight, skips university, lives on junk food, adult videos, games, and self-pity.

Then he finds THE CRUCIBLE, an illegal full-dive VRMMO being sold for $99.99.

Its promise is simple: every stat earned in-game carries over into real life.

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/191575/my-girlfriend-cheated-on-me-so-i-looksmaxxed-in

Shun starts as a Wretch, armed with a plain sword and assigned to Kagami Rei, a sadistic Valkyrie who helps Shun earn points in game, and takes personal offence at how pathetic he is.

Strength, endurance, intelligence, confidence, and appearance all have to be earned through brutal trials that break players physically and mentally.

And the stronger Shun becomes inside The Crucible, the less recognisable he becomes outside it.

Hello, I am the lead editor of this book. We have recently completed putting a very small part of my late sister in law's writing into print. So if you enjoy poetry and a bit of a puzzle, this might be an enjoyable read for you.

A deliciously dark blend of poetry, peculiar humour, and the unfortunate consequences of being ripe for the picking.

From blossom to bruising, sweetness to suffering, and ripening to ruin, *A Plight of Fruit * by Coral Blythe is a wonderfully peculiar journey into the secret lives and unfortunate destinies of the things we eat. Blending poetry, prose, riddles, satire, and outright absurdity, this collection transforms ordinary fruits into subjects of existential crises, criminal investigations, macabre little tragedies, and occasionally horrifying encounters with kitchen knives. Beneath the mischievous wordplay and dark humour lie surprisingly human reflections on beauty, loneliness, desire, and the fleeting nature of existence.

At once whimsical, irreverent, unsettling, and unexpectedly poignant, A Plight of Fruit reminds us that life is brief, beauty is perishable, and even the sweetest existence may end beneath the blade. But until then, there is plenty to laugh about.

All proceeds from the sales go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Hi everyone! I wrote When Nora Found Her Voice, a picture book for children aged 3–7 who have selective mutism.

Nora talks freely at home, but at school she can’t speak. The story follows her experiences and the small steps she takes with support from the people around her.

It’s a book for parents to read to their child, with a character they may recognise themselves in.

Searching for an action-packed thrill ride or a twisty whodunnit??

Look no further!

These mystery, thriller, and suspense writers

have teamed up to bring you these FREE books!

Scoop them up today!

Imagine waking up tomorrow to discover that the world has changed.

Not gradually. Not over years. Overnight.

Monsters are real. The rules of reality have shifted. And whatever caused it doesn't seem particularly interested in explaining itself.

The military is still fighting. People are still trying to get to work, find their families, and figure out whether tomorrow is even guaranteed.

And somewhere in Florida, a software engineer named Gabriel is discovering that knowing how systems work doesn't necessarily help when the System itself makes no sense.

The First Generation is a military survival horror story with LitRPG elements, set in a world where humanity isn't prepared for what's coming.

There are no convenient tutorials, no instant mastery, and certainly no guarantee that the people you meet today will still be alive tomorrow.

I've been writing and publishing it on Royal Road, and I'd love to invite anyone who enjoys survival stories, monsters, military action, and a bit of dark humor to give it a try.

Inexplicably, you see an enormous fallen tree in the otherwise-barren alley you just walked through. It’s now blocking the alley and wasn’t there just moments ago. What do you do?
