Norman Chatter wakes up in utter nothingness. He can remember nothing of his past. He meets an ethereal being in a strange hall of doors. Each door opens to a new life. By stepping through a doorway he enters a new life and gets to sample that life. He must choose which life to live (permanently). As his guide points out, "Not many people get a second chance at life, Norman, you are truly a lucky man today." Each life is grounded in a specific religion, presenting Norman with different lenses to view the worlds beyond the doors. As Norman passes through each life he learns more about humanity as well as himself.
THE LUMINAL NATURAE OF BOUNDLESS LOVE
A watercolor artist keeps hearing strange music in his head while he paints, and now he's seeing flashes of watercolor overlaid on everyday items. Weird smells start to inundate him in places where there shouldn't be any overwhelming smells. He starts to feel things that aren't there, like wet skin when he is dry as a bone. When he finally finishes his most recent painting, that of a beautiful, fantastical, faerie woman in vivid watercolor (definitely not quite human, but beautiful all the same), she comes to life, jumping off the canvas, knocking him over in disbelief.
Tasked with digitizing and disposing of decades of municipal records, widowed clerk Eleanor Pike uncovers unindexed files tied to a 1959 labor dispute and the unexplained disappearance of a black union organizer. As local history teacher Caleb Turner struggles to explain his town’s vanishing presence to a new generation, their paths converge, revealing a past shaped not by accident, but by silence and compromise. ‘Silent Echoes of Yesterday’ explores how communities choose comfort over truth—and the quiet courage it takes not to repair history, but to stop erasing it.
In Grayhaven, a reclusive archivist becomes caretaker of a condemned library that refuses to obey time, architecture, or grammar. As books rewrite themselves and new volumes appear—bound in human hair and written in the voices of the dead—he discovers the library is not a building but a covenant: the unresolved are stored as language until someone living reads them correctly. To save a story is to erase a life. As the city reveals the library cannot be destroyed without collapsing history itself, the archivist must choose between dismantling the system of forgetting that sustains humanity or consigning himself to become its final volume. Library of the Unresolved Dead is a gothic, supernatural meditation on memory, sacrifice, and the terror of comprehension—where reading is an ethical act, language is a burial ground, and the book does not end so much as it waits.

Prism is an eight-book fantasy series about survivors—and the courage it takes to face pain instead of running from it. It's a story of survival, identity, and radical compassion—where healing is not magical, not easy, and never done alone.
When an antique mirror in her quiet Victorian home reveals a war-torn world beyond its glass, Margery becomes a silent witness to another reality. But when a terrified girl is trapped on the other side, Margery does the unthinkable—she steps through. Stranded in Evarne, a realm divided by war and powered by dangerous magic, Margery is captured, mocked, and underestimated. They see only an old woman. They are wrong again. Driven by love, cunning, and a will sharpened by loss, Margery crosses shattered cities and enchanted ruins to save the child she couldn’t abandon. To survive, she must outthink empires, bend fate itself, and unlock the true power of the mirror that brought her there.
In Flickerfield, citizens exist as waves of probability, their forms and actions only solidifying when observed. When Aelix notices objects, events, and connections that defy conventional reality, he uncovers the hidden laws of his universe—superposition, entanglement, and the power of observation—while challenging social norms and encountering beings that exist in multiple forms. As he explores, Aelix discovers Flickerfield is one of many multiverses, each shaped by delicate probabilities, and must decide between the comfort of certainty or the freedom of a reality that is never fixed. The novel playfully yet profoundly explores quantum theory, showing how choice, observation, and connection define existence itself.
After Elena Marrow dies alone at forty-six under “undetermined” circumstances, the people who believed they knew her best—a former husband, a lifelong friend, a student, an estranged sister, and a passing neighbor—each recount their private memories of her. Told through first-person testimonies, the novel reveals five sincere yet incompatible versions of Elena: brilliant but cruel, wounded and disappearing, morally luminous, magnetic yet unreliable, and quietly kind. No account is proven false, yet none fully align, leaving Elena to exist only through the needs, guilt, and longing of those who remember her. As the mystery of her death fades, the narrators confront a deeper question—whether love ever reveals who someone truly is or simply creates the version of them we can live with.
In a vast coastal city where multiple eras coexist, and memories manifest as physical places, cartographer Elias Lorne is assigned the impossible task of mapping human memory. As he charts streets shaped by grief, music, and forgotten lives, Elias discovers that his own memories are fragmented—perhaps borrowed—while citizens begin disappearing into gaps in collective recollection. Interwoven stories of residents—a widow speaking with her younger self, a child who remembers the future, a musician channeling lost voices, and others who trade, paint, or measure memories—reveal a world where emotion reshapes time and space. Over the course of a single day stretched across eras, Elias confronts a version of himself made only of others’ memories and must decide what identity means in a world where experience can be borrowed, stored, or relived. The novel ultimately asks whether imperfect memory—and the fragile connections it creates—is the last truly human way we know one another.
A man reflects on his life and finds himself lacking. He feels his existence is meaningless compared to those who have overcome significant hardships to make a difference in the world. He sees himself as having the resources and opportunities to instigate change but laments his failure to act. His self-examination serves as a stark contrast to the lives of five extraordinary individuals who have faced abuse and trauma yet emerged to contribute significantly to society. Their stories unfold, each one highlighting resilience, impact, and the profound sense of purpose that drives them.

As his influence spreads, Jake heals the sick, calms storms, feeds the hungry, and exposes the corruption of those in power.

His sacrifice becomes an act of love meant to transform the world. When he returns days later, hope ignites a global awakening, and majick is forever changed.

To survive—and prevent the universe from unraveling—Elias must navigate chaos, decode cryptic clues from displaced minds, and confront a terrifying question: is time fixed, or is it alive? Temporal Drift is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller of physics, paradoxes, and human experience—where reality itself hangs by a thread.

Exodus - The fate of Planet Earth
Genesis - Man Reborn
A New Beginning (or the Book of Revelations)
An advanced Atlantian-like people once shared the planet with dinosaurs—until an asteroid threatened total annihilation. Forced to choose between evacuation and survival beneath the ice, their world shattered into factions, betrayals, and impossible decisions. Some fled to the stars. Others stayed behind to face the end of Earth itself. Millions of years later, modern humans uncover the truth buried beneath Antarctica: the remains of a lost civilization, dinosaur–human cultures, and technology far beyond anything imagined. As global tensions rise, a signal arrives from deep space—proof that the Atlantians may have survived after all. Across ice ages, wars, and galaxies, the legacy of Earth’s first great civilization unfolds—from doomed colonies and generational starships to new worlds where dinosaurs walk again. This epic science-fiction series spans extinction events, ancient mysteries, and interstellar discovery—asking one enduring question: When a world ends, what deserves to survive?
Six Boy Scouts, including a girl named Cassie, discover a wounded alien in the woods. Before dying, it gives them visions of strange images, possibly from the past or future, and clutches a slender metal object resembling a silver pen. A red light flickers on the pen and extinguishes as the alien dies. Despite warnings from the others, a boy named Jake takes the pen. The scouts report the alien to their leaders, but when they return to the site, the alien's body is gone, and the leaders dismiss the story as a prank. That night, each scout experiences bizarre dreams. When they piece the dreams together, they reveal the alien's history. It fled its home planet to escape enslavement by robot overlords controlled by an AI singularity. The alien had developed code stored in the pen, capable of destroying the AI and stopping the robots, but was captured before reaching the Citadel. After escaping with the pen, it opened a portal to Earth but was shot by the robots just before crossing through. The scouts realize they must get the pen to the alien's planet, reach the Citadel, and insert it into a terminal to defeat the AI. (a Goonies-type adventure)
