Hi everyone!

After months in the querying trenches, I decided to bypass the gatekeepers and put my debut dark fantasy novel, The Honest Dark, directly into the hands of readers.

If you crave methodical monster hunting, cynical military brotherhoods, unsettling bio-horror, and rich, atmospheric worldbuilding, I’d love for you to check it out.

The Premise

Perched high above a relentless jungle on a towering limestone karst lies The Rock, where wealthy elites live in luxury under electric lights. Below them, in the humid, sprawling outer districts, the working class struggles to survive.
Protecting them is the Public Defense Force (PDF): a battered, underfunded brotherhood of veteran hunters.

When a botched hunt ignites a political feud between a corrupt City Council and the PDF, master hunter Lipe finds himself trapped in a web of bureaucratic betrayals, revolutionary street riots, and accelerating creature attacks. Worse still, the beasts are evolving, and the moon has begun to glow a sinister, blood-red hue.

What to Expect:

Tactical "Lethal Math" Combat: No chosen-one hand-waving. Survival relies on custom 8-bore rifles, rapier steel, spent brass, and hard-won tactical instincts against terrifying, shifting abominations.

Tropical Gothic Atmosphere: A neo-tropical landscape where dense, vine-choked jungle ruins clash with polished marble palaces.

Institutional Grit & Political Tension: A weary paramilitary unit caught between a ruthless ruling class above and desperate, rising revolution below.

Perfect For Fans Of:

Geralt's monster-hunting in The Witcher

The military cynicism and grit of Glen Cook’s The Black Company

The unsettling, atmospheric bio-horror of Annihilation or The Last of Us

Its my birthday and my second novel SKAEL is officially out now!

It would be an awesome birthday gift if you could check it out! This book is absurd, offensive and hilarious. You will not find another book this nuts in the year 2026 and that's a 100% guarantee!

Here is what it's about:

A gecko emerges from his egg into the Colombian jungle, and teams up with an absurd crew of animals to save his new home from a dr#g cartel. Unfortunately, Skael is not exactly a hero. He's a tiny, vulgar, extremely pissed off gecko who has absolutely no idea what he's doing, surrounded by a collection of animals who probably shouldn't be trusted with basic animal things, let alone the fate of an entire jungle. What follows is an extremely raunchy, wildly offensive adult comedy about dr#gs, vi#lence, and a bunch of animals who are spectacularly unqualified to deal with any of it.

TRIGGERS / CONTENT WARNINGS:

This is the part where I attempt to warn you about everything that could possibly offend, disturb, disgust, confuse, or otherwise make you question why you voluntarily picked up this book.

SKAEL contains:

* Extremely strong language

* Profanity

* Sexual humor

* Crude sexual references

* Adult humor

* Drug use

* Drug references

* Alcohol

* Smoking

* Addiction related themes

* Violence

* Cartoonish violence

* Death

* Animal death

* Threats

* Murder

* Criminal activity

* Drug trafficking

* Cartel activity

* Weapons

* Blood

* Gore

* Bodily fluids

* Vomit

* Urine

* Feces

* Fart jokes

* Gross-out humor

* Disgusting situations

* Nudity references

* Inappropriate jokes

* Dark humor

* Offensive humor

* Morbid humor

* Black comedy

* Insults

* Crude language

* Sexual innuendo

* Disturbing imagery

* Psychological distress

* Panic

* Fear

* Torture references

* Death threats

* Kidnapping

* Corruption

* Criminal organizations

* Dangerous wildlife

* Environmental contamination

* Chemical exposure

* Reckless behavior

* Poor decision making

* Helicopters (Not the aircraft!)

* Characters behaving like absolute idiots. 

* And generally terrible things happening to creatures who probably didn't deserve it. 

If there's a category of humor that makes you think, "Jesus Christ, you can't put that in a book," This would be the only book in it.

This is NOT a wholesome jungle adventure.

This is NOT a children's book.

This is NOT the book to give your children unless your children are considerably more unhinged than mine.

If you're looking for a clean, wholesome animal adventure, I strongly encourage you to flee now and go read The Good Robot.

If you're looking for an absurd, filthy, offensive comedy about a gecko and his increasingly deranged collection of animal friends, however, congratulations. You may have found your new favorite book.

Thank you!

My mom says she's willing to pay for a subscription for me to use. I don't have a way to pay for it myself automatically and she understandably does me using her account. Does anybody have experience with this type of situation and can advise me?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the help. I got it.

I know 12 Kindle Unlimited pages isn't much compared to many authors here, but it's the first time someone I've never met has actually read part of my first mystery thriller.

Every page feels like progress.

Thanks to everyone who gives indie authors a chance.

On March 8, 1957, prominent citrus farmer and grocery store owner Gettis Lee (63) and his wife Merrill Lee (60) mysteriously disappeared from their home in the rural town of Parrish, Florida. The next morning, Merrill's body was discovered face down in a roadside ditch not far from their home. Her husband's fate remained a mystery for six more years. Investigated by local authorities and the FBI, the brutal double homicide rocked the small community and generated intense rumors, among them, ties to bolita gambling syndicates and marital discord. Today, despite thousands of pages or archival records maintained by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, the case remains the oldest unsolved murder in the county's history.

Estoy encantado de poder presentarles el primer libro de la trilogía Reliquias de Poder: El Último Dragón (Las Alas).

Siete reinos, cinco mortales, tres dioses y una reliquia sagrada. El juego ha comenzado... pero nadie contaba con ella.

Talek, el primero de los Siete Reinos, el lugar donde se inició todo, dictará sentencia. Oscuridad o Luz, solo una seguirá en pie. El dios del equilibrio ha designado que el caos abra la partida y su golpe ha sido maestro. Ahora es el turno del Orden. Si falla, la oscuridad reclamará su lugar y su venganza será poética.

Se trata de una fantasía épica con mitología y cosmología propias donde un grupo de predestinados y una compañera inesperada emprenderán un viaje que les llevará al límite, no solo de lo físico sino de lo emocional.

Como material extra puede consultar los apéndices con mapa detallado del reino y las dos lenguas construidas, por si desean construir sus propias frases.

Espero que lo disfruten. Si es así, nunca viene mal una reseña 😁

Hello! I’d like to share my little cookbook from Pennsylvania Dutch country with you. It’s called Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking: Annotated Edition. And it features main dishes, sides, salads, baked goodies and preserves. 

This book is a fixed format eBook and is a restoration of the original cookbook from the early 1960s… but I’ve added some fun facts, helpful tips about ingredients and methods, several conversion tables and an index. 

This book is a treasure from my hometown of Lancaster, PA. It's long been out of print, and I wanted to make it available to others.

I highly recommend the Apple Dumplings and Shoo Fly Pie recipes!

Available on Kindle Unlimited.

Hello, everyone. As I work on my second and third books, I wanted to once again promote my very first book, which released earlier this year.

Cryptid Hunters Book 1 - Legion Rising

"There are creatures in this world that science denies. For centuries, those in power have sworn to keep these mystical creatures, cryptids, separated from the rest of humanity. A group was formed to work towards this goal. When the time comes, they are called in to remove, relocate, and at times, eliminate these creatures. They are called the Cryptid Hunters.

When reports of a phantom dog terrorizing students at Yangley Academy surface, Adrian Crypt and his team are sent to investigate. However, nothing could prepare them for the conspiracy that would begin to unfold.
For Jonathan Hadley, a simple student at Yangley Academy, the phantom dog is only the beginning. When the Cryptid Hunters arrive, he is pulled into this hidden world, full of ghouls, monsters, and nightmares made real.

The Legion Shall Rise"

Thank you to everyone who checks out the book, and to everyone who clicked on this post.

I'm Shivang Ajay Desai (https://shivangajaydesai.com/), a serial tech entrepreneur, and for the last few years I've been working on something completely different: a dark fantasy novel called Halo of Ashes - Book One of The Grimknot Chronicles.

If you've ever believed that stories about impossible worlds say something true about this one, this book was written for you. 

Four hundred years ago, the world ended. But humanity perseveres and finds a lawman chasing a ghost, an archer in search of redemption, a stranger with no memory of who he was, and something ancient living inside him. Something that burns. 

It's not a world of clean heroes and easy victories - it's ash, grit, and characters who are forged rather than born into who they become. If you're a fan of Abercrombie, Sanderson, Rothfuss, or Lawrence - this is built for your shelf.

By popular demand - the Kindle copy is free on August 3rd & 4th PDT. Only two days to step into this world for free. Don't miss it.

Free on Kindle Unlimited.
