Award-Winning Debut Novel | International Impact Book Awards Winner

Outstanding Literary Achievement in Contemporary Fiction (Psychological Coming-of-Age)

Elijah "Shadow" Knight is a rising star: straight-A student, dual-sport athlete, and the golden boy of a prestigious Outer City academy. But when the sun goes down, he steps into a different life, one where fear commands respect and power is paid for in blood.

By night, Elijah becomes Shadow, navigating the unforgiving streets of the Inner City. What begins as a thrill quickly becomes a trap, and keeping his two worlds separate grows harder with every lie and every betrayal.

In a city divided by privilege, identity isn't given. It's earned. And the deeper Shadow goes, the more he risks losing himself in his own story.

As secrets pile up and loyalties fracture, Shadow must confront a brutal truth: the most dangerous battles are the ones fought within.

Shadow Scholar: Lessons in the Dark is a gritty coming-of-age psychological thriller about ambition, betrayal, and the cost of living a double life. Perfect for fans of urban fiction, street lit, and emotionally layered suspense, this debut explores what it means to be torn between two worlds.

Some lessons aren't taught in school.

And the sharpest knives are the ones you never see coming.

Two French nurses with the Army of the East

# data[].attributes.description
Two French women who served as nurses on the island of Lemnos during the Dardanelles campaign of 1915 left written accounts of their experience. One was a published author who volunteered with the Red Cross. The other was a medical student who would submit her wartime experiences as a doctoral thesis. Neither account has previously been available in English.

Jeanne Antelme arrived at the port of Mudros in August 1915. Assigned to a hospital caring for soldiers evacuated from the Gallipoli peninsula, she recorded what she saw with the eye of a novelist: the heat, the dust, the flies, the wounded arriving in their thousands, and the stories the soldiers brought with them from the front. She was one of the few women from the Allied side to visit the peninsula itself and the only one to leave a written record of her impressions. Her memoir was published in France in 1916.

Elisabeth Jardin (later Fabre) wrote as a clinician. Her thesis documents the organisation and daily operations of Evacuation Hospital No. 1 at Mudros across the full span of the campaign, from April 1915 to February 1916 - the diseases, the wounds, the surgical procedures, the mortality. It is a detailed medical record of a hospital under extreme pressure, submitted to the Paris Faculty of Medicine in 1920.

Together, the two works offer the Dardanelles campaign as seen and recorded by women who were there. Both have been translated and edited by Bernard de Broglio, with footnotes and appendices. Illustrated throughout with photographs, many previously unpublished.

The Questions We Ask God is a Christian apologetics book for every person who has ever carried a hard question in silence - about suffering, doubt, death, God's existence, Hell, and the silence of Heaven. Author R. P. Priddy does not offer rehearsed answers or comfortable theology. He goes to the original Hebrew and Greek, traces the ancient manuscripts, walks through church history, and brings the full weight of Scripture to bear on the questions most books are afraid to ask out loud. Written with pastoral honesty and scholarly depth, this book meets readers exactly where they are - in the grief, the doubt, the wrestling - and points them toward the only Answer that has ever actually held. Fifteen questions. Fifteen honest chapters. One unchanging God.

In 2019, as Japan hosted the Rugby World Cup, Typhoon Hagibis brought havoc to the organisation of the event and to the country as a whole. Into 2020, and rather than the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, the world's attention turned to the spectre of the new coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. The games appeared to be 'cursed' according some Japanese politicians. In March 2020 it was decided that the Olympics and Paralympics would be postponed until the following year but would continue to be known as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. Finally, in July 2021, Tokyo was ready to host the world's biggest sporting event. Japan had done everything it could to ensure that the games would be remembered for the sports, that the country and its people will be noted for their hospitality, that these will be the best games ever. But not everyone wanted the games to be a success. Some wanted it to be remembered for something completely different.

Tokyo 20/20 Vision follows a British Olympian, photojournalist 'Rock' Iwakura and journalist Eri Amadera as they become caught up in the plan for the Olympic games to be disrupted.

Japan. Four islands. Four seasons. Four trips. Four current social issues. One book.

That was the plan.

April 2013. Photo-journalist Iwakura and his reporter friend Eri, as she was known to the whole of Japan, would be working together again. Since their collaboration in 2011 had exposed more about the truth surrounding the hijacking of a shinkansen ('bullet train'), they had worked on many articles together, but this would be their first book. The book would be covering some important current social issues such as depopulation, city regeneration, tourism, and work-related suicides.

But fate had another path for them. One where death always seemed to be close at hand.

FOUR is the first book (but second that was published) in the 'Iwakura Series' continues the adventures of photojournalist 'Rock' Iwakura and journalist Eri Amadera. The book starts in 2013, less than two years after Hijacking Japan was set. Although it contains some spoilers related to that book, it can be read without overly ruining the story and tension if you want to read that one later. Although FOUR is the second in the Iwakura series, it is set before Tokyo 20/20 Vision and helps to explain some of the history and character development that you will have come across if you read that one first. Naturally, it does not matter if you read FOUR before Tokyo 20/20 Vision.

It was meant to be a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. Nicola was working hard as an English teacher in Japan; she desperately needed a holiday. A long weekend with her boyfriend, Akira, and two other friends, Mai and Masashi, seemed ideal. The four of them would travel by Japan's safest form of transport, the shinkansen ('bullet train'), before boarding a ferry for the trip across to the quiet island of Sado. However, Nicola and her friends could never imagine that they would become caught up in a hijacking. Why would someone want to hijack this train? How would Nicola and her friends respond to being on a hijacked train? Would the police be able to catch those responsible? Hijacking Japan follows events in a real-time format during a dramatic day that threatens to bring the Japanese government to its knees.

Redemption Island is set on an unused Second World War military base off the coast of South Carolina, where sixty convicted inmates are given one opportunity to earn their freedom. Removed from bars, cells, and concrete, they must live, work, study, and change together under strict rules and constant supervision.

The island becomes a place of hard labor, education, discipline, and accountability. Prisoners plant fields, build shelters, learn to read, teach one another, and confront the choices that brought them there. Progress is earned day by day. Failure means immediate return to a maximum-security prison. There are no second chances.

Through the stories of men and women convicted of serious crimes, Redemption Island explores punishment, rehabilitation, literacy, personal responsibility, and the cost of a broken system. As some inmates fall back into old patterns, others discover purpose, dignity, and the possibility of becoming something more than their past.

This novel presents a powerful vision of reform, asking whether redemption is possible when freedom must be earned, not given.

"...if you haven't figured it out, happiness is always fleeting, because it's only temporary, and ultimately just a false dream, that is always chased and never caught."

Why do many marriages, families, and careers appear to be perfect? The truth is...there is no such thing as a perfect life within all our relationships.

We can be good illusionists, but every relationship has some kind of difficult obstacles that create friction, frustration, or pain. This leaves us feeling alone, angry, hopeless, or unsatisfied as purpose fades away.

If you believe you have healthy relationships, or know you need help, you will have fun and be amazingly inspired as answers are literally at your fingertips, giving you many ah-ha moments, leading you to say, "Yes, that's me, or us!"

What if the tension between divine sovereignty and human freedom has never actually been resolved - not because Scripture is unclear, but because the philosophical frame we inherited obscures what Scripture plainly says?

Ongoing Sovereignty: The God Who Is Here begins with a single question: does God exist outside the present moment, or is He - as He declares Himself - the great I AM? That question, pursued carefully through Scripture, opens a framework that upholds the full doctrines of grace while taking seriously the biblical portrait of a God who grieves, relents, responds to prayer, and acts in genuine relationship with His people.

This is not Open Theism. It is not Molinism. Ongoing Sovereignty Theology affirms total depravity, unconditional election, and the preservation of the saints - while rejecting the philosophical assumption that God has exhaustively decreed every event. The result is a framework that resolves the sovereignty-freedom tension not by softening either side, but by reexamining the definition of time itself.

The book works through the hardest texts honestly - election, the problem of evil, intercessory prayer, and eschatology - without flinching at what Scripture actually says. It is written for the believer who has felt the dissonance between their theological system and their prayer life, and refused to stop asking why.

First Edition, 2026. Published by Open Hand Theology, an imprint of Mathis Consulting LLC. The complete text is available free online at ongoingsovereignty.org.

The Broken Promise of Our Buildings and the Fight for the Air We Breath

# data[].attributes.description
Think about our buildings for a moment. They had one important job. It was an evolutionary bargain with our environment: we build structures to protect us from the elements and keep predators out.

Objectively, however, we are failing. Somewhere along the way, we forgot the mammal inside the box. We became obsessed with the box itself, how energy, efficient it is, how airtight we can make it, and how cheaply we can stack it. In doing so, we broke the bargain. Instead of keeping danger out, we've trapped it inside with us. We have spent the last fifty years conducting a "grand chemical experiment" on ourselves.

The Time Thief forces us to confront this systemic, invisible massacre. The air we breathe kills roughly 7 to 8 million people each year. For every one person killed by a car, roughly six die from breathing polluted air. Yet for fifty years, we have been selling cars without speedometers, building homes, schools, and offices without basic sensors to tell us whether the air inside is actually safe. We have allowed minimum compliance, the worst thing you are allowed to do by law, to become the maximum ambition of a profit-driven market.

This book introduces the antagonist of this crisis: The Time Thief. It is a quiet, dangerous villain that doesn't just shorten our lives with fatal asthma attacks or cardiovascular disease, but robs us of the quality of our present time. It erodes children's ability to focus in unventilated classrooms, steals productive years through sick building syndrome, and condemns older adults to respiratory fatigue in tightly sealed retirement homes.

This is an implementation problem, not a science problem. I am not an academic researcher; I am the "General Practitioner" of the built environment. Through the Air Quality Matters podcast, I have spent two years and nearly two million spoken words interviewing over 100 of the world's leading scientists, engineers, and doctors to synthesize their brilliance into plain English. The Time Thief is a manifesto that calls out the "not my job, mate" culture of the construction industry, the "gaslighting" of tenants blamed for black mould, and the dangerous pursuit of net-zero carbon targets that ignore the lungs of the people inside.

It is time to lock the door on the Time Thief and recognize that clean indoor air is not a premium corporate luxury, but a fundamental human right.

The Milky Way is conscious. Thirteen billion years old, spanning four hundred billion stars, thinking in timescales that make civilizations look like sparks. It has a plan. Humanity is part of it.

They just don't know that yet.

Collision with Andromeda spans seventeen million years and follows the Okonkwo family across the full arc of that plan and everything that follows from it. Scientists who build weapons they don't fully understand. A woman who becomes the galaxy's living interface. A man who spends four centuries answering a wrong that was done to his family. Generations who scatter across the stars carrying names that mean more than they know.

Above them all, the galaxy watches. Patient. Hungry. Telling itself that what it is doing is necessary.

It is wrong about that. The consequences are larger than it imagined.

The novel works at two scales simultaneously. Its galaxy POV chapters render non-human consciousness with genuine alienness, no pronouns, no human grammar, a mind that measures time in stellar rotations and cannot quite perceive anything as small as a person. Its human chapters are grounded in grief, stubbornness, and the persistence of identity across millennia.

Readers of Iain M. Banks and Arthur C. Clarke will find the scale familiar. The moral territory is harder to place. Collision with Andromeda does not resolve into lessons. It resolves into consequences, and it makes you feel the full weight of them.

A seventeen-million-year story about what it costs to mean well, and what it costs when meaning well is not enough.

When storms rise and hope seems lost, one truth remains unshaken: the promises of God never fail. In Acts of the Apostles 27, this reality is tested on the open sea as wind, waves, and fear threaten all aboard. Yet above the fury of the storm stands the unbreakable certainty of God's Word.

Through the eyes of a young boy named Jack, readers step into the living drama of Scripture. In a journey reminiscent of the imaginative worlds opened by C. S. Lewis, Jack crosses the boundaries of time itself.

Suddenly he stands in Caesarea in A.D. 62, watching history unfold as the Apostle Paul begins the perilous voyage that will test the faith of everyone on board.

Blending history, imagination, and Scripture, this story invites readers to witness a powerful truth: when God speaks, His promise will stand-no matter the storm.

What begins as a hopeful second chance at love quickly turns into something far darker.

After years of focusing on her son, her career, and rebuilding her life, Melissa believes she has finally found the partner who will stand by her through anything. But once the vows are spoken, the man she married begins to change. The charm fades. The rules appear. The control tightens. And little by little, the woman she recognizes in the mirror starts to disappear.

Then her health begins to unravel in terrifying ways. As doctors search for answers and her world shrinks under the weight of fear, confusion, and manipulation, Melissa is forced to confront the unthinkable: the person she trusted most may be the very thing destroying her.

My Life With a Narcissist is a raw, unforgettable true story of survival, awakening, and reclaiming your voice after emotional and psychological abuse. It is for anyone who has ever felt trapped, doubted their own reality, or wondered how love can become a battlefield, and how strength can rise from the wreckage.

Are jihadists dying for a fiction? Everything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change.

Did Muhammad exist?

It is a question that few have thought-or dared-to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived and led in seventh-century Arabia.

But this widely accepted story begins to crumble on close examination, as Robert Spencer shows in his eye-opening new book.

In his blockbuster bestseller The Truth about Muhammad, Spencer revealed the shocking contents of the earliest Islamic biographical material about the prophet of Islam. Now, in Did Muhammad Exist?, he uncovers that material's surprisingly shaky historical foundations. Spencer meticulously examines historical records, archaeological findings, and pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the early days of Islam. The evidence he presents challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islam's origins.

Did Muhammad Exist? reveals:

How the earliest biographical material about Muhammad dates from at least 125 years after his reported death

How six decades passed before the Arabian conquerors-or the people they conquered-even mentioned Muhammad, the Qur'an, or Islam

The startling evidence that the Qur'an was constructed from existing materials-including pre-Islamic Christian texts

How even Muslim scholars acknowledge that countless reports of Muhammad's deeds were fabricated

Why a famous mosque inscription may refer not to Muhammad but, astonishingly, to Jesus

How the oldest records referring to a man named Muhammad bear little resemblance to the now-standard Islamic account of the life of the prophet

The real story of Muhammad and early Islam has long remained in the shadows. Robert Spencer brings it into the light at long last.
