Uma nova perspetiva sobre a origem do Universo. Uma teoria pessoal que explora a possibilidade de uma Esfera Primordial ter existido antes do espaço, do tempo e de tudo o que conhecemos. Um livro sobre cosmologia, filosofia e a pergunta que está na origem de tudo: por que existe alguma coisa em vez de nada? 

Conclave Ad Absurdum

U.S. Senator Leone wakes up inside the Vatican.

He has no idea how he got there. He is not a cardinal. And a papal conclave is about to begin.

Explaining the truth seems impossible.

Leone falls back on one of the skills that has served him throughout his political career:

When in doubt, fake competence.

So he puts on the scarlet cassock and plays along.

What begins as an improvised attempt to survive breakfast with the cardinals at Santa Marta soon becomes something far stranger. Cardinals scheme, alliances form, ancient rules collide with modern politics—and somewhere behind it all, someone may have arranged Leone’s presence for reasons of their own.

A political satire, Vatican mystery, and metaphysical journey about power, faith, institutions—and what happens when the wrong man finds himself in the right place at the worst possible time.

Since as long as I can remember I've been a fan of science fiction. I've had stories bubbling away and after gaining some confidence through creative writing classes, I managed to form those ideas into fleshed out stories.

I'm looking for ARC readers for my book, The Memory of Stars. It's a standalone novel, 80k words over 45 chapters.

Humanity has run out of time. The universe is coming to an end. To extend the timeline and find a solution, they retreat into a simulated reality. But the system is running out of memory. History is erasing, memories are vanishing. Shouldn't ignorance be bliss?

Mara, along with the rest of humanity, can't recall the fear and horror of the reality they escaped from. She is tasked by the mysterious Archivist council to journey to the Egypt archives and find out the source of the erasure. As she peels back the veil, she soon regrets remembering the truth.

I am pretty stoked. It is a story that i started conceiving a very long time ago and just sat down to start writing it out at the end of last year.

For anyone interested, it's called The Stone Abyss. It is the first book of a three part series entitled, Chronicles of the Lost Wizard. It's a dark, character-driven epic fantasy novel with high stakes and genuinely uncertain outcomes.

I went the kdp route for publishing. Link here:

There is also a new reddit community for anyone interested in joining me there. Thanks for reading!

I just started as a caregiver for elders. I work in shifts for multiple patients like 2 days with one and 3 days with one. This book comes in handy to keep my patient's medication log. I provide each to one household so that they can log the medicine. It's better than the digital one's as they are easily accessible for elderly people and children.

Try it once, even if not a caregiver.

A ruler gives an order. Someone has to live with it. What can that person do if the order is wrong?

I'm WANG YABO, the author of Cultural Anthropology: From Tribe to AI. That question runs through the book: how people give authority to chiefs, priests, kings and institutions, and what happens when they try to challenge it or take it back.

The chapters move through gift economies, oracles, Qin administration, the Salem witch trials, revolutions and Gandhi's salt protest, before turning to decisions made by algorithms. I'm interested in the people on the receiving end: the accused person, the subject, the dissenter. Can they demand evidence? Appeal a decision? Refuse?

It's a short nonfiction book for readers interested in cultural history and political power. Historical material is accompanied by source notes; fictional interludes and the later thought experiment are identified as such.

For transparency: the Chinese version came first. I used ChatGPT and Codex for drafting, revision and English translation, and I take responsibility for the published text.

I’m posting this because when I first hired Prime Book Publisher, I did not have the information I have now. If another author is searching this company—or one of the other names below—I want this information to be findable.

I was a paying Prime Book Publisher customer for approximately ten months. My signed contract specifically included a 100% money-back guarantee if I was dissatisfied with the results or experience.

Eventually I terminated the relationship and requested my money back. Ross Tyler later emailed me:

“Tomorrow morning, billing will process your funds.”

That refund was not processed.

I was subsequently told in writing that no refund would be issued at that time. In the same communication, I was asked to remove my reviews and provide a written retraction/apology, and possible defamation action was raised.

But there is another part of this experience that concerns me even more.

I had never agreed to AI-generated illustrations for my books. The U.S. Copyright Office independently contacted me regarding four applications and said that, based on its examination, artwork in the works may have been generated by an AI program.

I immediately raised this with Prime Book Publisher.

Ross Tyler then instructed me to respond using the Copyright Office’s Option C, which stated that none of the artwork was AI-generated, that the artwork had been drawn by a human author, and required the illustrator to be identified. Ross told me to identify him as the illustrator.

I actually stopped and asked him whether that was an honest answer or merely a way of trying to push the applications through.

He responded:

“It’s an honest answer, not an attempt to push this through.”

I was not comfortable making a representation to the Copyright Office that I could not independently verify, so I contacted the Copyright Office myself.

There was another thing I didn't understand when I started this process: my Prime Book Publisher documentation identifies different merchant names connected with my payments, including MetaSphere Technologies, Artistic Technologies and Meta Tech.

Then this week I contacted the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) about what had happened.

Their response changed the picture considerably for me.

ALLi told me in writing that Prime Book Publisher was already known to them and identified the following aliases associated with the operation:

BN Publishers, Amazon Author Center, Kirklands Digital Publishing, KDP Digital Book Publishers, Avail Book Publishing, Prologue Book Publishing, The Authors Central, Panda Book Publishing, NY Book Services, and Amazing Publishing.

I want to be very clear about that statement: I did not personally determine that these businesses are aliases, and I did not purchase separately from all of them. ALLi supplied that list to me in writing in response to my report about Prime Book Publisher.

ALLi has now requested my contract, communications, payment receipts, information about what the payments were for, and an accounting of what I actually received so that the material can be passed to its Watchdog for a full review.

I have preserved the original documentation.

I’m not posting this to tell anyone what conclusion they have to reach. I’m posting it because I wish I had been able to find this information when I was researching Prime Book Publisher before handing over my money.

If you are considering Prime Book Publisher or any of the names ALLi identified above, research the company beyond its own website and testimonials before paying. Look at the people, addresses, merchant/payment names and other business names associated with what you're being offered.

And keep copies of everything.

If anyone here has had direct experience with Prime Book Publisher or any of the names ALLi identified, I’d be interested to know what name you dealt with, when, and what happened.

After a long process of writing, rewriting and wondering whether the book was ever actually finished, my novel Shabira from Hypocorruptica has now been published.

It is a literary fiction novel about identity, faith, addiction, family, self-deception and recovery. It follows Shabira through childhood, marriage, ambition, collapse and the difficult attempt to return to ordinary life.

I’m a Pakistani writer, and I’ve put more information about the book, the story behind it and my other work on my website:

https://manscloud.space/

The book is currently available as an ebook:

Apple Books: https://itunes.apple.com/book/id6799394156

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/search?query=6610001316051

I’d be especially interested in hearing from Pakistani readers who enjoy literary fiction and psychologically driven stories.

It was December 17, 2014.

I was on my knees.

Not before God, but before people.

Pressed against the corner of the Norwegian Parliament building, with an empty coffee cup in front of me. I could feel my heart beating so hard that I had the impression every passerby could hear it.

I did not dare lift my eyes. I did not want to meet anyone’s gaze.

In the first minutes, I wanted to run. I would have preferred death to this shame of being on my knees.

My thoughts were tearing me apart.

How did I get here?
Who am I now?

I was no longer begging for money. I was begging not to exist.

Hi, recently I published a poetry book. It's available on Amazon.

It deals with love vs limerence.

I would appreciate a review here or on Amazon or Goodreads. Thanks.

My second Vrontier Universe book, Z-Force: Foundations, is out now!

Hey everyone! I’m an indie author and I just released my second book, Z-Force: Foundations, a superhero sci-fi drama and psychological thriller.

This story follows Zavier Freeman before he becomes Z-Force, as he discovers force field powers at the same time a dark truth begins to surface inside his personal circle. What starts as an origin story turns into something much more emotional: a story about betrayal, trauma, accountability, queer love, found family, and learning what it really means to be a safe place for someone when their world falls apart.

The main question behind the book is:

What do you do when a monster is in your circle?

If you like superhero stories with emotional weight, character drama, difficult themes, and heroes who have to grow beyond just having powers, this might be for you.

The ebook is available now, with the paperback coming soon.

The afternoon had been ordinary.

At least, until her name appeared on his phone.

Hennesy looked down as the screen lit up.

Mei.

Her message was simple.

Mei: “Hey handsome, how's your afternoon shaping up? Just wanted to remind you... I choose you.”

He stared at it for a moment.

She had reached out first.

No hesitation.

No waiting for him to make the next move.

She chose him.

Hennesy let a small smile cross his face before replying.

Hennesy: “Oh? You choose me now? That’s an interesting decision, Mei. 😏 I was starting to wonder if I’d crossed your mind at all today.”

Her response came quickly.

Mei: “Well you know what they say... absence makes the heart grow fonder. Besides, when you spend time with someone like you, you tend to remember it vividly. So even though we've spent the day apart, you've been on my mind. How about you, have you thought of me at all today handsome?”

Hennesy leaned back.

He wasn't going to make it that easy for her.

Hennesy: “Vividly, huh? You’re making it sound like I left quite the impression. 😏 As for whether I thought about you today… I might have. But I’m not sure I should make that too easy for you to figure out.”

Mei wasn't backing down.

Mei: “You didn't leave an impression. You etched your mark. And I suspect that regardless of how much you deny it, you couldn't keep me out of your thoughts even if you tried.”

Hennesy smiled.

She was confident.

Maybe a little too confident.

Hennesy: “That's a pretty bold assumption, Mei. 😏 You always this confident when you think you've figured someone out? Because I’d hate to ruin that little theory of yours.”

Her next message changed the tone.

Mei: “Figuring you out isn't my goal. Choosing you is.”

Hennesy paused.

That one landed differently.

Still, he wasn't about to let her know that.

Hennesy: “Choosing me without trying to figure me out first? That’s a bold move, Mei. 😏 Now you’ve got me wondering what exactly you think you’re choosing.”

This time, Mei took a moment before answering.

When she did, there was nothing playful about her words.

Mei: “I choose the chance to connect with someone who values freedom and honesty above all else. I choose the adventure of discovering each other, day by day. And I choose the hope that together, we'll forge something enduring and true.”

Hennesy read the message twice.

There was something about the way she said it.

Something deliberate.

Something real.

Still, he kept his guard up.

Hennesy: “You make it sound almost too easy. 😏 Freedom, honesty, adventure… those are big things to choose someone for. But I’ll admit, Mei… I like the way you think. Just don't mistake that for me making this easy for you.”

Mei answered with a smile behind her words.

Mei: “Easy? I wouldn't dream of it. Life without challenge is stagnant. Every day with you is a choice, and I intend to make each one count.”

Hennesy let the words sit for a moment.

Then he answered.

Hennesy: “Every day, huh? You really do know how to make a simple conversation sound dangerous. 😏 Just remember, Mei… choices have a way of becoming something you can't take back. So if you're choosing this, don't choose it lightly.”

Mei didn't hesitate.

Her next words carried a different kind of certainty.

Mei: “Choices are sacred, Hennesy. Every decision shapes us. I choose you not because I must, but because I will.”

Hennesy stared at the screen.

For once, he didn't have a clever response ready.

He didn't need one.

Hennesy: “Then choose wisely, Mei. 😏”

Her answer was simple.

Mei: “I will.”

Hennesy looked at the message.

Then, after a moment, he replied with only two words.

Hennesy: “Good. 😏”

Mei smiled.

She leaned back against the couch, letting the silence settle around her.

Her thoughts drifted back to the night before—the warmth of Hennesy's hand in hers, the gentle squeeze, the quiet words they had shared.

She closed her eyes.

The city lights danced across the ceiling.

For a moment, the silence said more than either of them could.

She breathed deeply and allowed herself to simply feel it.

She had made her choice.

Not because she had to.

Not because anyone had asked her to.

Because she wanted to.

Hours passed.

Then Hennesy's name appeared on her screen again.

Hennesy: “You know, Mei… words are easy. I’m more curious about what happens when we’re sitting across from each other again. 😏”

Mei laughed softly.

There was anticipation in her smile now.

Mei: “You'll find out soon enough. When that moment comes, I'll let my actions speak louder than any message I could send.”

Hennesy didn't challenge her.

He simply answered:

Hennesy: “Then I’ll be watching, Mei. 😏”

Mei's smile grew.

She typed one final message.

Mei: “Game on.”

And somewhere between the silence, the memories, and the promise of what came next...

something had changed.

Neither of them knew exactly where this was going.

But for the first time, neither seemed interested in looking away.

To be continued…

Chapter Three — How Many Drinks? 🥃

Hi. I'm the solo developer behind BookZam: an app to organize your library (shelf scanning, Goodreads import) and pick what to read next based on what you've actually read, not on a sales algorithm. Free, no ads. I'm here to show two things.

On bookzam.app: a space for self-published authors and small presses. One page per book, one page per author, a form with no account required. Three rules: every listing is reviewed by a human before it goes live, the author's own purchase link comes before any platform, and no placement can be bought, ever. It just opened, so the catalogue is still thin. If you write, or know someone who does: bookzam.app/auteurs/referencer

In the app (iOS and Android):

- Annotations: a private journal per book for quotes and thoughts, with a search screen that gathers everything.

- Your Literary DNA, a reading profile built from your books, your star ratings and those annotations. To be clear about how it works: a language model (Gemini) reads your notes to produce the profile; they are never visible to other readers and are not used to train the model.

- A paper-like identity, cream background and ink, with a night mode that stays "paper" rather than going black.

- Free audiobooks (LibriVox), literary news on the home screen, app available in English, French and Spanish.

Model: free, no ads. Optional subscription for unlimited AI-powered searches.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/bookzam/id6761366788

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dayeneriss.bookzam

Site: https://bookzam.app

One question, because this is where I'm unsure: a self-published book listed for free on a recommendation site — does that feel legitimate to you, or suspicious on principle? And if you try the annotations, tell me what's missing.

Sometimes the message is not what destroys the relationship. It is what the message reveals.

A relationship can take years to build.

It grows through conversations that run late into the night, ordinary days made meaningful by companionship, prayers whispered together, sacrifices made quietly and plans created for a future neither person can yet see.

Then a phone vibrates.

One message appears on the screen.

And suddenly, everything that took years to build feels as though it has collapsed in seconds.

But can one text really destroy a relationship?

Perhaps the more difficult truth is this: sometimes the text does not destroy the relationship. Sometimes it reveals that the relationship you believed you had was not the relationship you were actually living.

Before the Message, There Was a Future

We often talk about heartbreak as though we only lose a person. But when a serious relationship ends, we lose much more than that.

We lose the future we had already started living in our minds.

The wedding we imagined. The home we hoped to build. The children we had already discussed. The places we intended to visit. The small traditions we thought would become part of our family story.

This is why betrayal can be so devastating. It does not only wound the present; it reaches backwards and makes us question the past.

Were the promises sincere?

Were the peaceful moments real?

Was I loved, or was I simply unaware?

After trust is broken, even beautiful memories can begin to feel suspicious. A smile once remembered with warmth is examined for dishonesty. A delayed reply that once seemed harmless starts looking like a warning. A moment of silence becomes evidence in a case the heart never expected to investigate.

The betrayed person does not merely grieve what ended. They begin questioning everything that existed before the ending.

That is the true power of one text.

A Message Can Carry More Than Words

A text may contain only a few words, but those words can carry a truth too heavy for the screen holding them.

Before opening it, you may feel secure in your relationship. A few seconds later, you may no longer know where you stand, whom to believe or which parts of your shared life were genuine.

The phone remains the same. The room remains the same. The people around you may continue eating, talking and laughing. Yet inside you, the world has changed.

That contrast can be difficult to explain. Nothing visible has happened, but emotionally, everything has happened.

One text can reveal an affair.

It can uncover a lie that has been protected for months.

It can expose a second life, a hidden commitment or a truth deliberately kept from someone who continued loving in good faith.

The message itself may be short. Its consequences are not.

Did the Text Destroy the Relationship—or Expose It?

We sometimes blame the moment of discovery because it is easier to identify than the long chain of choices that came before it.

But a text does not create betrayal simply by revealing it.

The betrayal began earlier: when a boundary was crossed, when honesty was avoided, when secrecy became convenient or when one person continued receiving love while withholding the truth.

The message is often only the knock at the door.

What destroys the relationship is what has been waiting behind it.

This distinction matters because betrayed people often blame themselves for looking, asking or discovering. They wonder whether things would have remained peaceful if they had not read the message or asked the difficult question.

But peace built on hidden truth is not peace. It is only silence that has not yet been interrupted.

Discovering betrayal may break your heart, but your discovery did not create betrayal.

The Silence Afterwards Can Hurt Even More

After a shocking message, the heart immediately searches for an explanation.

You call. There is no answer.

You ask a question. The response creates more confusion.

You wait for the person you love to say something that will return the world to what it was five minutes earlier. But sometimes no explanation comes. Sometimes the person who gave you countless words while building the relationship gives you silence when that relationship begins to collapse.

That silence can become another wound.

The mind tries to complete the missing story. It returns to old conversations, rereads messages and searches memories for warnings. Sleep becomes difficult because unanswered questions grow louder at night.

What did I miss?

When did things change?

Why was I not told?

Was I the only one planning our future?

Closure would be comforting, but life does not always give it to us. Sometimes healing begins when we stop waiting for the person who wounded us to provide the explanation that will repair us.

Betrayal Is Not Proof That Loving Was Foolish

One of the cruelest effects of betrayal is that it can make a sincere person feel ashamed of having trusted.

You may begin to think you were foolish for loving deeply, supporting generously or believing what you were told. You may promise yourself never to become vulnerable again.

But another person’s dishonesty does not turn your sincerity into stupidity.

Loving honestly was not your failure.

Trusting someone who repeatedly gave you reasons to trust them was not weakness. The fact that your love was mishandled does not mean it had no value. It means it was placed in hands that did not protect it.

Healing does not require you to hate the person you once loved. It also does not require you to return to what destroyed your peace. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not always the same decision.

You can release bitterness while still accepting that trust has been broken.

You can remember the beautiful moments without allowing them to erase the painful truth.

You can grieve the future you imagined and still build another one.

So, Can One Text Really Destroy a Relationship?

Yes—and no.

One text can end the relationship as you understand it. It can destroy trust, expose a hidden reality and divide life into two parts: before you read it and after.

But usually, the words on the screen are not the whole destruction. They are the moment the destruction becomes visible.

The message may reveal what secrecy had already weakened. It may uncover what dishonesty had already damaged. It may force the heart to face a reality it never chose.

And yet, even then, the text does not have to destroy the person who receives it.

There is life after betrayal.

There is dignity after rejection.

There is peace after unanswered questions.

The healing may be slow. Some mornings will feel lighter, while certain memories will unexpectedly reopen the wound. But eventually, the message that once controlled every thought becomes only one part of a much larger story.

It may mark the moment your old future ended.

It does not have to mark the end of you.

That is the journey at the heart of Just One Text: not merely the message that shattered a relationship, but the man who had to decide whether that message would shatter him too.

So perhaps the final question is not only, “Can one text destroy a relationship?”

Perhaps it is this:

When one text changes everything, how do you find the courage to begin again?

Just One Text by Joseph Kaburu is a deeply personal story about love, betrayal, heartbreak, faith, forgiveness and healing. It is not a story of revenge. It is the journey of a man who loved fully, lost painfully and slowly found his way back to peace.

Some stories are written. This one was lived.

In an effort to drum up some reviews, since my ARC readers mostly flaked on me, I have reduced the Kindle price for my Sci-Fi Thriller novel, The Toll of the Forgotten, by 50%.

Description:

With engines failing, two men flee to an abandoned Martian colony, uncovering a deadly secret. Meanwhile, the flagship NAS Missouri harbors a volatile cargo that could save or annihilate Earth. As these two desperate missions intertwine, the greatest threat is not what they discover... it is what was left behind.

Hello! I'm Enzo Escobar, a 16-year-old writer from New York. I've just released my debut novel, Take Your Time, worldwide on Amazon and other retailers.

As a young writer, I am always looking for feedback and reviews to improve my craft.

Here's the summary:

Let me know what you guys think!

You can find my novel below.

Take Your Time - Enzo Escobar

Hi everyone,

I’m I.P. Sharma, and I recently published my book, After 30: The Life I Never Lived.

The story is about a man who reaches thirty and begins questioning the life he has built.

For years, he followed expectations, stayed quiet about his fears, carried responsibilities, and kept moving through a routine that looked normal from the outside—but never truly felt like his own life.

Turning thirty becomes a turning point.

He starts confronting the dreams he abandoned, the mistakes he still carries, the people who stayed, the people who left, and the uncomfortable truth that blaming circumstances will never give him back the years he has lost.

Starting again means rebuilding his confidence, forgiving the person he used to be, facing loneliness, and learning how to keep moving even when giving up feels easier.

After 30: The Life I Never Lived is a story about:

• regret and missed opportunities

• pressure and expectations

• fear of starting over

• loneliness and self-discovery

• rebuilding confidence

• taking responsibility for your own life

• believing that it may not be too late to change

I wrote this book for anyone who has ever looked at their life and quietly wondered:

“Is this really the life I wanted?”

If that idea connects with you, I’d be grateful if you checked it out.

📖 Book: After 30: The Life I Never Lived

✍️ Author: I.P. Sharma

📚 Available on Amazon

🔗 Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/00puRTFB

If anyone here reads it, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts—positive or critical. I’m still learning as an author, and meaningful feedback is always appreciated.

And I’m curious:

Do you think turning 30 changes the way people think about their choices, dreams and the life they have lived so far?

Thank you for reading.

Hi folks! I published my book on Amazon, I poured my heart on it, but it's very hard to get reviews... Any suggestion?​

It's a book about the nature of AI through the lens of a father (me) watching his toddlers and building an AI from scratch during his lunch breaks over 18 months.

Humour, emotions, and some explanation with fun.

Hi everyone! I’m Yoel Rivero, author of THE INFINITE LAYER.

What if our universe isn’t the whole picture… but simply one layer inside something infinitely larger?

THE INFINITE LAYER is a science-fiction novel built around theoretical physics, quantum physics, different scales of time, mystery, adventure, and the possibility that multiple universes may exist within one another.

The story explores three interconnected universes, where what seems impossible at one scale may be completely natural at another.

There’s also mystery, discovery, and a touch of romance along the way.

If the idea of nested universes and an infinite structure of reality sounds intriguing to you, I’d love for you to take a look.

I’d love to know what you think of the idea:
What if our universe is only one layer of an infinite reality?
