As a boy, Eli learns to survive by escaping-riding bikes through the city with his best friend Gabe, exploring woods and rivers, and losing himself in the outdoors where life feels simple and safe. Yet beneath the adventure lies a constant tension at home.As an adult, Eli channels that drive into building a successful career and a marriage to Rachel. Yet beneath the outward success lies unresolved pain and pride. Eli becomes obsessed with proving himself through achievement and financial success, believing that accomplishment will quiet the insecurity born in childhood.At his lowest point-emotionally, financially, and spiritually-Eli embarks on a solo motorcycle journey north toward Alaska. What begins as an escape gradually becomes a pilgrimage. Life After Fall is a story about transformation: how pain can shape character, forgiveness frees the heart, and the search for meaning often leads us back to the quiet truths that were present all along.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4vJwMba

“An earnest, distinctly Christian blend of memoir, self-help, and poetry.” — Kirkus Reviews“I have never read something inspired by Dante’s Inferno that is as close to enlightening as I Am My Biggest Stranger.” — Readers’ Favorite“Rarely does a book reach into the nervous system and make you feel watched and seen.” — The Book RevueThis book is for the person who cries themselves to sleep while pretending they’re okay.

This novel began, as many stories do, with a place.Wistman’s Wood is real. It exists on the high moorland of Dartmoor in Devon, England—a stunted oak forest growing impossibly from a chaos of moss-covered granite boulders. The trees are ancient, twisted, draped in lichen like the beards of druids. Walking through it feels like stepping sideways out of time. Local legend claims it’s haunted, that the Wisht Hounds—spectral hunting dogs—run through it at night, and that Old Crockern, the spirit of the moor, makes his home there.I visited Wistman’s Wood on a spring morning much like the one that opens this book. Standing among those gnarled oaks, I felt something I can only describe as presence—not threatening, but ancient and aware. It was the kind of feeling that makes you question the boundaries between the material and the numinous, between what we can measure and what we can only sense.That experience planted the seed for this novel, but the question that grew from it was larger: What if human consciousness itself has been constrained? What if we’re capable of so much more—more empathy, more foresight, more connection—but something holds us back?The metaphysical framework of this story—the idea of a “grey mist” encoded in our DNA, limiting our capacity for compassion and long-term thinking—is, of course, fiction. But it’s fiction that asks a real question: Why do we, as a species, so often fail to act in our own collective interest? Why do we struggle to feel the suffering of distant others, to care about future generations, to see ourselves as part of a larger whole?Some might answer with evolutionary biology: we’re wired for tribal survival, not global cooperation. Others might point to social structures, economic systems, or cultural conditioning. This novel doesn’t claim to have the answer. Instead, it asks: What if the limitation isn’t inevitable? What if it could be lifted?I chose to leave the central event of the novel—the solstice ritual and its aftermath—deliberately ambiguous. Did Michael and his companions truly perform a mystical intervention that altered human consciousness? Was it mass delusion, a placebo effect on a global scale? Or was it something in between—a collective shift in awareness that happened because people believed it could?I don’t know. More importantly, Michael doesn’t know. And that uncertainty is the point.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4uZEkp3

In 2035, addressing climate change remains a one step forward-one step backward jig. Battles over climate policy and new legislation continue, as does the march upward of average global temperatures. In the courts, finally, there are some very real legal threats to the fossil fuel industry fighting for its future against the advancement of clean tech.Davin Caine is at last on Medicare and is getting a modest Social Security check each month, but still works with Berkshire Interactive. He’s also been busier in his studio and has sculptures in galleries in the Berkshires and the Hudson Valley, and his solar/batteries and VPP membership keeps electricity bills down. His three house sharers, with housing still scarce, help with expenses. Marsha’s been with the Housatonic House on the Hill for nearly a decade, and she’s queen of the big vegetable garden. Charlie is a more recent house sharer, and a nigh-on perfect one, since he’s often away on business or holed up in his third-floor bedroom working. The newest house sharer is Be, a ceramic artist who helps Davin out with the first floor Airbnb apartment and who has just claimed a corner of the studio and could easily claim his heart if he isn’t careful.But as summer approaches, a stunning heatwave settles over New York City, west to Lake Erie, and south into parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The heat drives people to escape into the relatively cool hills of the Berkshires just as high season is coming on, so there’s little room for the hordes. Young Brooklyn hipsters take up camping in the woods around Monument Mountain Reservation and along the Appalachian Trail, or double and triple up at the summer homes of friends’ parents, or anywhere, somewhere, to sleep. Many in the town aren’t happy about it, or the spike in petty crimes, and it’s up to Marian Gray-Fletcher, Great Barrington’s town manager, to solve the problem. But she’s distracted with her own philandering husband, until a drug-gang killing focuses her attention.The international news is full of climate migration stories and political problems in Europe and a conflict between India and Pakistan. Central and South American climate change-induced droughts make for huge numbers of people heading north and the militarized southern border and running battles between cartels and U.S. forces are in the headlines. And then there’s No One is Safe, a climate terrorist organization that has a history of blowing up refineries and pipelines and the occasional oil exec, and one climate direct action veteran finds himself wondering how deep the NOS-cartels connection goes.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4vWFiDs

The world didn’t end in fire, natural disaster or even in a nuclear holocaust. It ended in infection. Years after a genetically-engineered virus tore across the globe, civilization is ash and bone. What remains is hunted by things once human—now twisted, feral, and evolving. Amid the chaos, a battle-hardened unit known as the Light Reapers wages a brutal war against both monsters and men. Their mission: destroy what threatens the remains of humanity and protect those too weak to fight back. Led by the enigmatic and tormented sergeant known as Priest, and a weary commander named Webb, the Reapers face horrors both biological and manmade—hybrid creatures, rogue warlords, cultists who worship the infected, and sleeper cells of terrorists bent on finishing what the virus started. But survival costs more than bullets. It costs pieces of their souls. As bonds are tested and lines blur between friend and foe, Priest must face his own inner demons—especially when a young hybrid girl is caught in the crossfire. Webb, caught in his own hell, is constantly faced with a dilemma where he must choose the lesser of two evils. In a world where hope is a liability, love a weakness, and mercy a mistake… the Reapers will show no forgiveness. Because in the wastelands of the new world, every day above ground is a good day. A good day to die.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4vYQrUB

For over a century, physicists have upheld the belief that the universe consists of both matter and space — two fundamental components of existence. In A NEW THEORY OF THE VISIBLE UNIVERSE, Joe Fisher boldly challenges this long-standing assumption, proposing a revolutionary vision of reality: there has never been any “space.” Instead, there has only ever been one infinite, visible, contrasting surface — eternal, seamless, and continuously illuminated by an infinite form of finite non-surface light.Fisher’s radical reasoning dismantles the core principles of modern astrophysics. He asserts that the universe cannot expand, that Einstein’s curved space-time is imaginary, and that Edwin Hubble’s observations were misinterpreted. The Big Bang, Fisher argues, was an illusion — for an infinite universe could never have a beginning, an end, nor a period of cooling. Infinity does not explode; it endures.In this groundbreaking study, Fisher refutes the work of Einstein, Hubble, and Hawking, as well as the theories endorsed by NASA, Roscosmos, and the China National Space Administration. Written with clarity, conviction, and the rare courage to question scientific orthodoxy, A NEW THEORY OF THE VISIBLE UNIVERSE invites readers to reexamine everything they believe about existence itself.This is not just a book about physics — it is a call to see the universe as it truly appears: infinite, visible, and forever alive in contrast.📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4xuLzIc
