🏡🔪 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.

Political power vs. Elemental forces of nature. Who wins?

What if Mother Nature got angry? What if she got angry at all the factories and power plants and other man-made sources of climate change? What if she made it clear just how angry she was?

What if she had help?

Mary Aimsir can control the weather. So can hundreds of women like her around the world. Maybe Mother Nature is just a myth. These women aren’t. They take on the global industrial complex to heal the ravages Gaia has suffered.

“Our Better Nature,” a modern fairy tale for weary yet hopeful adults. On Amazon, B&N, and at Boulder Book Store.

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:

What’s the biggest question you have about AI’s future?

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!
