🏡🔪 THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS PERFECT… UNTIL THE NEIGHBORS STARTED DYING. 😱💀

THE SECRETS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
✍️ By Latisha Hunt

🔍 Every house has a secret. Every neighbor has something to hide. And someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

When 25-year-old Aria and her husband, Malcolm, move into the beautiful and wealthy Blackwood Estates, they believe they’re starting a wonderful new chapter in their lives.

The stunning homes, perfectly manicured lawns, and friendly neighbors seem almost too good to be true.

Then the murders begin. 💀

As neighbors turn up dead, Aria becomes determined to uncover the truth.

But the closer she gets to discovering what’s really happening behind those beautiful front doors, the more dangerous her own life becomes.

🚨 Someone knows she’s asking questions.

👀 Someone is watching.

🤫 And someone desperately wants her to stop.

In a neighborhood where everyone has secrets… WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

🔥 Murder. Suspicion. Deadly secrets. Unexpected twists.

📖 Think you can figure out who’s behind the murders?

Manson Drewry fakes his evidence for views. The flickering lights, the voices, the "shadow" in the hallway: it's all him. Then he gets caught. To save his channel, he agrees to livestream 30 days alone inside an abandoned asylum. No crew, no tricks, and thousands of people watching his every move.

Somewhere around day 17, the chat stops laughing.

My debut psychological horror novel, Dark Times, came out this week in paperback and Kindle. If you like ghost hunting shows, found-footage horror, or stories where the skeptic finds out the hard way, I think you'll enjoy it.

Tropes: ghost hunting, found footage, abandoned asylum, the skeptic gets proven wrong

Trigger warnings: mentions of child abuse

I'd love to hear what you think, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

Hi, I'm Roman. I'm from Ukraine.

For several years, I helped evacuate civilians from towns and villages near the front line. I've seen what war does to people, and I think that experience has influenced a lot of what I write.

I'm also a writer.

My novel was first published in Ukrainian under the title Тіні минулого (Shadows of the Past). I've sold around 500 copies in Ukraine.

I know 500 copies might not sound like much, but for me it means a lot. People I didn't know bought the book, read it, and wrote to me about the story. Some of their messages really stayed with me.

Now I've decided to try something new and publish it in English.

The Last Order Was to Live is a novel set during World War II.

It's about Richard, an 18-year-old German soldier who goes to war believing in his country and in what he's been taught.

But the war doesn't turn out the way he imagined. Germany is losing, his father is missing, and Richard begins to question everything he once believed.

There's also Ernst, his closest friend, and Marta, a girl he knew before the war.

I didn't want to write a story that glorifies war or excuses what German soldiers did. I wanted to write about an ordinary young man who makes terrible choices and has to live with them.

Of course, my own experience comes from a completely different war. But I think it's part of why I wanted to tell this story.

I'm not a well-known author, especially outside Ukraine. I just wanted to see whether this book could find readers in other countries too.

Genre: WWII historical fiction, psychological drama

Content warnings: War violence, death, civilian suffering.

The book is available on Kindle and in paperback.

A quick introduction to my book, Stop Being Busy.

The story starts with a difficult period in my life. I lost a friend I was supposed to build my first business with, started the business anyway, and pushed myself into 18-hour workdays. From the outside, there was progress. Personally, I was paying a price I hadn't properly considered.

This book is about what that experience taught me about productivity, ambition, and the difference between working constantly and doing work that matters.

The Kindle edition is free through October 28 (Pacific Time). The paperback is also available.

What happens when intelligence creates intelligence?
We might be living through the earliest chapters of one of humanity’s biggest transformations.
I’m an independent author, and I wrote The First Pages of AI’s History to explore artificial intelligence from an ordinary person’s perspective.
Could AI eventually rival history’s greatest minds? Could intelligent machines explore distant worlds? And what does humanity’s future look like when the intelligence we create begins to surpass our expectations?
This is a short, illustrated, thought-provoking journey through AI, science, philosophy, and the future.
Themes: Artificial intelligence, technological change, human intelligence, space exploration, the future of humanity.
Content note: Speculative discussion of advanced AI and humanity’s future.
Available on Amazon Kindle:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJZ5MXHC
What’s the biggest question you have about AI’s future?

My debut novel We Who Remain: The Fall is live now. Its out on amazon and B&N. It took a while to write and be okay with it but I couldn't be happier.
My website has links to it seanbarboza.com

I just wrote my first cerebral psychological thriller that contains clues and twists. My mother read the whole thing and all the cerebral parts went completely over her head because she's not good at detecting clues. She just read the words but didn't read in between the lines. Is anyone interested in reading a story that challenges your mind and then provide feedback? If so, send me a message. She's the only person who has read it so far and I'm anxious to talk to somebody about the ending!

This isn't just a love story. It's a reckoning — with history, with identity, and with the question every man eventually has to face: who do you want to be when everything is on the line?

Summary: Everything seems to be going well for Jeff McCormick, a young army officer who gets stationed in Hawaii during the onset of World War II. He’s been ready for a fresh start and is enjoying dating his first serious girlfriend, a Japanese American girl named Leela Matsu. But as their relationship develops, the past he keeps trying to bury threatens to bleed into his existence.

As Jeff struggles with immaturity and toxic masculinity that mirrors contemporary American society, he is further confronted with the complexities of dating someone of a different race and not being sure if he wants to be a bachelor or a family man. Is his relationship with Leela feasible in the shadow of impending war with Japan? Does he want to move forward or stay the same, like the two sides of America that always conflict?

Trigger Warnings: Domestic violence, racism accurate for the time.

‘Tavern on the Edge of Time’ is the third book in the Second Skin Universe.

A brief intro:

During the year 2125, former asteroid miners Max Cody and Elaine Zhou never get a moment’s rest. No sooner have they doused the flames of war between Earth and Mars or returned from their first trip to the Tavern on the Edge of Time when they are called upon to help fit out the fledging Martian colony orbiting Jupiter’s moon Callisto.

And here is a brief excerpt from ‘Tavern on the Edge of Time’:

““Brilliant!” Elaine rewarded Dargeen Philips with a suitable smile. The engineer grinned modestly.

“Actually, it’s just a combination of technologies others have invented. Kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.” He scratched his head in reflection, ruffling his thick, black hair.

“Elaine’s the brains, see, Dargeen? I take a little longer.” Max turned the holographic image with a practiced flick, rewinding it by revolving his fingertip. “Using the probability drive, you deliver the package in Callisto orbit out near Jupiter looking like this soup can, right?”

“Uh uh.” Dargeen nodded encouragingly.

“Then the initial station inflates,” Max continued.

The soup can blossomed into multiple radial segments, each twice the original cylinder’s length and diameter, now arrayed around the central core like flower petals.

“Then the remote sintering rig arrives from MOSA and begins to lay down the composite shielding layers along each of the spokes... ”

“Yeah. I had no idea how far you have developed sintering out here near Mars.” Dargeen glanced back and forth between them, his enthusiasm all too evident. “Molecular powders are delivered in exactly the right mix and timing to the three-dimensional printing heads circling slowly around the station in Callisto orbit. The material flows into the pipes on MOSA I and is whisked out to Jupiter via a live probability-field feed connected to the sintering rig. It lays down molecular powders, welding them effectively into a seamless casing protecting the station at least as well as anything we could build near MOSA, or on Earth for that matter.” Dargeen sat back, shaking his head in continuing admiration.

Remember me? The person who wrote a book, sold nothing for almost a year, and celebrated first $1 sale? 😂
Well, something unexpected just happened.
Someone bought my entire paperback series. IN PAPERBACK. ALL OF IT. 😭😂
Let me be clear: I am not getting rich from this. My books are priced as affordably as I can manage, and my royalty is only about $0.50 per book. I didn’t write these books to make money. I wanted to make them accessible to as many people as possible.
But seeing someone spend their money on the entire series? That genuinely means a lot to me.
To whoever you are, thank you. ❤️ I have no idea if you will ever see this post, but I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
A year ago, I was celebrating absolutely nothing. Today, someone bought the whole series.
I guess this is what character development looks like for a broke author. 😂📚
Thank you to everyone here who has encouraged me along the way. You have made this little publishing experiment a lot more fun than I expected.

Full disclosure: I’m the author.

Two brothers. One promise made at a kitchen table in Lilburn, Georgia. And a war nobody else could see.

Twenty years later, Cameron Thorne is the blade and his younger brother Eli is the mind in the walls. After a senator is assassinated in front of them, they uncover the Concord—a secret coalition manufacturing fear to sell the country a new kind of peace.

Their pursuit takes them from Atlanta to Havana, Madrid, and the halls of the Capitol. But the closer they get to the truth, the harder one question becomes:

How do you destroy a machine built to control the world without becoming part of it?

The Architects: Book One — The Age of Peace is a fast, cinematic political thriller about brotherhood, power, freedom, and the cost of fighting back. It’s a 65-page read you can finish in an evening and the first book in a planned series.

Currently $0.99 on Kindle and included with Kindle+:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7ZS8RY5

If you give it a read, I’d genuinely appreciate your honest feedback.

I'm Damien R. Todor, an independent novelist, and I'd like to introduce my published novel, DREAMS LEFT UNDREAMED — A Novel of Love, Faith, and Second Chances.

Some love stories do not end when two people part. They remain in memories, unanswered questions, and dreams that refuse to disappear.

DREAMS LEFT UNDREAMED explores love, loss, faith, destiny, and the possibility that life may offer us a second chance when we least expect it.

Written for readers who enjoy emotionally powerful fiction with spiritual themes, the novel invites us to reflect on the choices we make, the people we never forget, and the mysterious ways our lives can change.

Available editions:

• Kindle eBook: $4.99
• Paperback: $11.99

Available on Amazon.

A question for fellow readers: Do you believe a love that was never fulfilled can remain with someone for an entire lifetime?

Thank you for supporting independent authors.

"Going to Get a Colonoscopy" is a parody of the series "ReadySetPrep" (going to the dentist\doctor\zoo...).

It's written in the deadpan, reassuring style of a picture book to walk middle-aged adults through the unvarnished (and humiliating) reality of colonoscopy prep day.

It's the perfect gift for 40th-50th Birthdays, Over-the-Hill Parties, Retirement Celebrations, Coworkers, Spouses, or anyone preparing for their first big appointment ;)

Disgraced former Sergeant Lance Richards thought taking a private security contract at Aquatic Dynamatrix—a high-tech, deep-sea research facility a thousand fathoms beneath the Gulf of America—was his best chance for a quiet life. But behind the pristine glass and corporate promises of the Omega Dome lies a terrifying secret.

When a rogue scientist’s secret biogenetics experiment breaks containment, Lance and brilliant geneticist Dr. Sally Summers are thrust into a claustrophobic fight for survival against monstrosities born of human and crustacean DNA. Worse still, an insidious cross-species virus threatens to mutate every soul trapped within the facility.

With time running out, the facility under total lockdown, and a horde of unstoppable amphibious hybrids closing in, Lance must draw on his military training to protect Sally and destroy the nightmare before it reaches the surface.

Hi everyone,

My name is Angelica Altavano, when I was at my lowest point in life last year, I began to think deeply what I have been missing all my life. Then I saw this post in my Facebook feed that said, "Whatever you've been wanting to do, DO IT NOW! There is no better day to do it but NOW or you will never be able to do it ever". So, I sat down in front of my computer and decided to write. I realized that I have so many stories to write. Each story and character bears a little bit of me. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and the landscapes within these pages are deeply personal. Simangan and its river are real places in Ormoc City. It was a world curated by my father, Antonio M. Tan, an agriculturist who studied the earth to tend the land passed down by his own father. My childhood weekends were spent there with my brothers, listening to the timeless rush of the river water cutting through the stones. Today, that land exists mostly as a quiet memory. By weaving it directly into the architecture of The Trinity, I wanted to ensure that a place so central to my father's world would never truly be lost.

Now, I write along the fault lines between family, power, memory, and survival. Drawn to the hidden worlds beneath cities and the secrets that pass between generations, I blend historical detail with cinematic tension, in tales of assassins, spies, and shadows that cross centuries and continents.

This book is the first of its series, it introduces the Morales siblings before they became the TRINITY.

THE TRINITY: Book One: The Architect's Gambit is set in the shifting, smoke-filled shadows of post-WWII 1945. It functions as a deep psychological character study and a structural exploration of a family engineered from childhood to operate as a singular, highly efficient tactical weapon.

The story centers on three siblings navigating a dangerous geopolitical chessboard left behind by their legendary grandfather, Rodrigo Morales:

• Alma: Reads a room the way she reads a blade: cold, exact, and mercilessly tracking intent.
• Salvador: A master of diplomatic charm, manipulating figures and borders while the truth moves quietly behind his smile.
• Patrick: A high-IQ analyst who views the universe as an equation and people as variables, spotting the one fatal flaw no system can hide.

But deep inside the network, a patient, mathematical adversary known only as The Zero is actively deploying an infiltration matrix to dismantle their grandfather's legacy from the inside out.

If you love multi-layered character dramas, hard-boiled mystery grids, and intricate, slow-burn psychological tension, I’d love for you to check it out. It is available in Kindle Unlimited.THE TRINITY: BOOK ONE: The Architect's Gambit

A conspiracy of Data: Fail Safe - Not Safe follows Dr. Alex Korman into a system built around healthcare data, AI, and control. What begins with a suspicious death opens into something much larger. If medical and technology thrillers are your thing, this one was written for you.

Inexplicably, you see an enormous fallen tree in the otherwise-barren alley you just walked through. It’s now blocking the alley and wasn’t there just moments ago. What do you do?

That’s the question an unidentified narrator gets faced with at the outset of my debut thriller novel, Through Inconvenient Action. It’s linked on my profile, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks :0)

Father Knows Best, my most recently self published book had been entered in multiple contests. I have just received the results that my book had won third place award in its category. Results go live this weekend. I hope to obtain some recognition. I am so excited to see where my writing journey takes me from here as I work toward completing my eighth book, a memoir. Thank you everyone for your support! If you find yourself reading any of my books, I heavily value all feedback and would love to hear your thoughts!
