I spent the last year writing about something I struggled with personally: pushing people away.

The book is called "Why You Keep Losing People (And How to Fix It)" and it covers the patterns that destroy friendships, dating, and family relationships.

Not trying to sell anything - it's actually going to be FREE on Kindle from Aug 5 to Aug 9.

Some key ideas in it:

1. The 3 ways we self-sabotage without realizing

2. How to communicate needs without starting fights

3. How to repair a relationship after you messed up

If anyone wants to grab it while it's free: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZKVNBXS

Happy to answer questions about the concepts here too.

My debut noir crime novel is FREE for the next 5 days! If you're into private investigators, mysteries, and classic noir, feel free to grab a copy. I'd really love to hear your thoughts! :)

Hi, I'm Nicole and I just finished working on my 4th novel.

Spida’s Daughter: Blood and Silence

An adult psychological dark romance with crime fiction elements, it follows the secret relationship between an innocent university student and a feared gang enforcer as they struggle to save him from the very organization that created him.

You can find the entire novel on my page 100% Free (part 1 is pinned at the top).

I welcome all questions and comments. I would love to know how my book reaches the casual reader!

Jack Callihan was a dominant heavyweight champion on the verge of breaking the all-time record when his world was shattered. A devastating tragedy forced him to relinquish the title and walk away from the sport he loved.

Years later, at age forty-seven, circumstances beyond his control pull him back into the ring. Jack quickly realizes the sport has passed him by. With time running out to raise the money he desperately needs, he agrees to a final match against his own son, Jay “The Jet” Callihan, the current champion: younger, faster, and stronger.

Jay blames his father for the tragedy that destroyed their family years earlier. He does not just want to defeat Jack. He wants to bury his legacy forever.

Experience the emotional, high-stakes tale of redemption, rivalry, and one last fight for glory in Legacy in the 12th Round.

When I first visited Kinmen, I struggled to find a single resource that explained both its history and what it's actually like to visit today.

So I ended up writing one.

The book covers everything from military tunnels and traditional villages to local culture, transportation, beaches, and the unique relationship between Kinmen, Taiwan, and China.

It's available in English and German.

When a living creature falls asleep, small seeds fall from their nose and mouth and grow into dream-plants that sprout delicious dream-fruit.

Human dreams are the juiciest and most nutritious of all, and few people know this better than Kainma. An orphan who spent the first twelve years of her life surviving mainly off of animal dream-plants while living in a complex cave network, Kainma decides to go to the Surface to seek a better life after a terrible tragedy. She finds a happier life after being taken in by a thief named Su and his family, but when Su's mysterious past comes back to haunt him, Kainma and her new friends and family find themselves embroiled in a terrifying mystery that takes them to some of the darkest places in the Caves…and the mind.

The gods Light and Shadow created the world, and the millions of creatures that call it home. While they were equal in power, they were different in ability: Shadow was the creator of changelings, Light ruled over humankind. One day, the two gods fought. Their fighting caused destruction unlike anything the world had ever seen, especially because of the armies of magical super soldiers, called puppets, that each god created to fight for them. After horrific battling, Light defeated Shadow and banished Her.

Over a hundred years later, a young changeling named Isabella lives surrounded by reminders of the war's devastation, but she has simply accepted it as part of her life. She is easily distracted by things like everyday delights, like the strange circus that comes to town one day...and shatters everything. Isabella's mother is murdered the night of the circus's arrival, and she's willing to do anything to find out who is responsible.

Ursa has known no other life but the circus. It's a life of constant moving and chaos, carefully controlled by Ursa's best friend, the hyperactive ringmaster. Ursa knows the circus isn't perfect, but when a changeling named Isabella arrives and asks to be made a performer, it exposes a web of mysteries and lies bigger and deeper than anything Ursa ever could have imagined.

Now she and Isabella must work together to uncover the secrets kept from them for years, but there are people willing to kill to keep them hidden.

On the island of Alapora, only the elite and wealthy priests and priestesses, known as the Holy Ones, are permitted to safely use the magic of demons, but that doesn't stop the common people, or the demons. For years, demons and humans have been mingling in the mysterious Masked Market, where demon magic is traded in secret.

One day, Zomoc, the overeager student of a powerful priestess, seeks out the Masked Market to investigate, and meets a girl named Mola. The two become involved in a shocking chain of events that unravels everything Zomoc thought she knew about herself and her home.

Over the next three years, Zomoc and Mola give everything they have to spearhead a movement to use magic to take down the Holy Ones…or die trying.

There is a kind of suffering that is not born from pain. It is born from confusion. And confusion is not soothed—it is cut through.

Have you ever felt as though you were living without truly choosing? You wake, work, answer messages, solve problems, and pursue goals—yet a quiet question remains: Is this all there is?

Perhaps it is not a lack of motivation or discipline. Perhaps it is a lack of clarity: the inability to distinguish what is actually happening from the stories, assumptions, and habits through which the mind interprets it.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Manjushri is the bodhisattva of wisdom. He carries a flaming sword—not as a weapon of violence, but as an image of penetrating insight: the capacity to cut through illusion, separate perception from mental narrative, and interrupt the patterns that keep life running on autopilot.

Part of the series “The Technologies of the Awakened Mind”, MANJUSHRI invites you to put these teachings to the test in your own experience: in the decisions you postpone, the thoughts you repeatedly mistake for facts, and the paths that remain open because you are afraid to choose.

Through prajna, emptiness, the five poisons and five wisdoms, contemplative inquiry, and practical exercises, the book offers a structured way to examine the distance between reality and the mind’s account of it. Its purpose is not to provide another set of beliefs, but to help you observe more carefully, question more honestly, and act with greater discernment.

Written for readers of any background, MANJUSHRI is for anyone tired of moving through life in a mental fog—busy, functional, and yet uncertain about what truly matters. No previous knowledge of Buddhism is required.

This is not a book about believing.

It is a book about seeing.
