The Secret Village of Astrology

Shiva, an engineer from Hyderabad and a student of Vedic Astrology, has always been fascinated by the ancient wisdom of Jyotishya. Yet, beyond planetary positions, charts, and predictions, he senses that there is something deeper waiting to be understood. Dissatisfied with conventional explanations, he travels to the coastal town of Udupi in search of a mysterious Siddha Purusha his grandfather once spoke of. What awaits him is far removed from the books and theories he has known, drawing him into a world of unusual encounters, ancient insights, and questions that challenge his understanding of astrology and life. As curiosity gives way to wonder, Shiva begins a journey that may reveal that the true essence of Jyotishya lies far beyond the stars

Persistence: A Novel

Widowed professor John Weber has spent years teaching theoretical physics and searching for meaning in the machinery of the cosmos. When his university grants him access to LENS, a state-of-the-art quantum computer, he sets out to simulate the birth and evolution of an entire universe. For John, it is the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to watch creation unfold and perhaps unlock the mystery and meaning he’s been searching for.

As the project launches, the simulation exceeds his expectations, providing a front-row seat to the birth of stars, galaxies, and black holes. But when the system data begins to show strange patterns, he discovers a message hidden within the simulation. As John works to understand who, or what, is on the other end of the signal, the boundary between experiment and reality begins to collapse.

As he falls deeper into the puzzle, and with the simulation’s time running out, John must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for something no one else knows exists.

Persistence is a grounded near-future science fiction novel about creation, discovery, isolation, and consciousness.

INDIFFERENCE

      

INDIFFERENCE

In Bucephalus, Ohio, people die in strange ways. The town puts up a plaque for every one of them.  Bucephalus, or "Buck" to everyone who lives there, is a town of apple orchards, Friday-night football, and a lake called Respite Bay. It is also where eleven soldiers drowned in eighteen inches of water in 1861 and where lights hang over the bay every fifteen years. Every strange death gets a bronze marker and no questions.

On the last day of school, five kids who barely know each other end up in the same diner booth:

• Colt, a fatherless football prodigy with a temper

• Tyrese, whose family runs the diner and who writes everything down

• Sandra, who has quietly kept her mother's struggling hotel afloat since seventh grade

• Alex, a farm kid with perfect aim and a father they can't talk to

• Julie, a silent fourteen-year-old outcast who can see the town's dead

Then something surfaces in the river below the old railroad trestle: a beaver the size of a man, with nothing behind its eyes. Animals that died out twelve thousand years ago start walking the woods. A boy vanishes, then a duck hunter, then a girl on a lonely road. A body falls out of a clear sky wearing dog tags from Omaha Beach. And the adults of Buck do what they have always done: they look away.

Over one year, from summer through harvest to the frozen lake and back again, the five of them build the map no one else will. The pattern reaches back more than two centuries. It leads to a word a missionary wrote down in 1794 for "the place that is hungry," and to a door in the woods outside a town called the Hollow.

Something there has been watching Buck for a very long time. It doesn't hate them. It doesn't care about them at all.  And that might be worse.

Otherworlder

(Falling Darkness Saga Book 1)

He died a hero on a quiet country road. He woke up as a weapon in a war between gods. Jake Lancross spent twelve years as an Army sergeant. He came home without a scratch worth mentioning. Then one spring morning he stopped to help a stranger after a car wreck. A gunshot cracked, a pickup truck spun out of control, and everything went black. When he opens his eyes, the moon overhead is too big and the air smells wrong. The forest around him is dead silent. Jake has read enough manga to know how this goes. He holds out his hand and shouts, “Fireball!” Nothing happens. There’s no magic, no superpowers and no friendly elf to help him. What he does get is a pack of crystal-spined wolves charging out of the dark. All he has to fight them with is a stick and his training. Welcome to Ert, a world of dragons, demons, kings and gods. Here magic runs on knowledge and willpower, and a man from Earth may know more than all of them. Jake soon learns he didn’t get here by accident. A princess’s summoning ritual was sabotaged by an enemy nation, and it pulled two things into her world: Jake, and a demon. Part of that demon is now inside him. Then there’s the forgotten ancestor who left him thirty-six journals full of lost spells. And the gods themselves are moving pieces in a game that has been running for two thousand years. Jake is starting to suspect he’s one of those pieces. The magic of this world is starting to die. If nobody stops it, it will be gone for good. Somebody has to find out who’s behind it. OTHERWORLDER is Book 1 of the Falling Darkness Saga. Fans of isekai, LitRPG and epic fantasy will love its gritty, grounded hero, who survives by what he knows instead of a magic power-up. This is no fairy tale. It’s a fight for survival, and it’s only the beginning.
