  Book Cover


A Shadow's Whisper

(The Shadow of Argion Book 1)


Every man has a shadow—a voice that tempts, pulls, and whispers promises of power. Some fight it and rise above. Others give in and fall.

In the kingdom of Argion, dark days have begun. Duvessia has seized the throne of Norbai, her ambitions threatening to plunge the land into chaos. Jak only wanted a quiet life, but when Duvessia’s elite warriors come for him, he’s forced to run for his life—dragged into a conflict far greater than he understands.

Meanwhile, Princess Helena of Sennelin is on a desperate mission to secure her kingdom’s future, and it all depends on finding Jak. As armies gather and kingdoms fall, Queen Treance entrusts a young commander with holding the line against Duvessia’s forces.

But something far worse stirs in the shadows. An ancient power awakens, seeking someone to wield its strength and bring about the end of Argion.

The battle for the world has begun, and the line between hero and villain is fading. When the shadow whispers, who will answer?

The Intricate Web of Trauma Bonding and Attachment

 Book Cover


The Intricate Web of Trauma Bonding and Attachment

In The Intricate Web of Trauma Bonding, and Attachment, holistic psychologist Sarmistha Mitra unravels the complex dynamics of trauma bonds through the lenses of both science and metaphysics. This book offers readers a deep understanding of how neurochemical processes like the release of endorphins can keep individuals stuck in cycles of pain and intermittent relief in relationships. By blending this scientific insight with metaphysical principles such as yin-yang energy balance and karmic healing, Mitra provides a holistic approach to emotional liberation. Through exploring the evolutionary role of social bonds, Mitra explains why we are biologically wired to maintain attachments—even toxic ones—and how trauma bonding, reinforced by the brain’s pain-relief system, mirrors addiction. She offers practical tools to break these destructive cycles by restoring emotional balance, reclaiming autonomy, and healing generational trauma.

District #3: A Vincent Calvino Novel

 Book Cover


District #3: A Vincent Calvino Novel


It is the year 2036. Like the rest of the world, Thailand has been irrevocably transformed by the full fury of climate change, leading to profound social and political upheaval. Bangkok, now a city of semi-autonomous districts, serves as a microcosm of this turmoil. In District #3, Calvino, a determined investigator, delves into the mysterious death of a reality show winner's husband amidst a backdrop of chaos where crazies, freaks, Fliers, and Al agents roam the streets of Bangkok. As extreme weather events wreak havoc on daily life, an evangelical preacher exploits the reality show to propagate his message among the Thai populace. Calvino's role expands beyond mere investigation; he finds himself entangled in a celebrity security detail aboard an oligarch's opulent superyacht. Here, neo-feudal lords gather to bid for a Thai bride and celebrate Freedom Day, illustrating the stark inequalities that have emerged in this new world order. District #3 is a story in the tradition of Huxley's Brave New World and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. The narrative revolves around the fragile relationship between the powerful few and those who fight for survival. The neo-feudal lords gather for a lavish celebration while Calvino’s client becomes the entertainment. His investigation uncovers an unsettling connection between exclusive compounds in the Blue Zone and a groundbreaking reality space known as π. The intertwining themes of climate change, social inequality, and political chaos are vividly depicted as characters navigate a social landscape marked by desperation and repression. Private eye Vincent Calvino’s client draws him into a case that offers him a front-row seat to the workings of an underground climate change resistance movement.

WHAT NO ONE WILL TELL YOU THAT VOCALIST DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW



There are so many mistakes I made when I first started singing that I wish someone would have given me a heads up about the little things every vocalist needs to know. 

I put the core of what I’ve learned in this easy-to-read little red book.  There are 31 Core Principles or lessons, one for every day of the month.  Each could take an entire chapter itself, but that would be too long, and too boring. If you learn these principles, you’re go a long way and the journey will be full of joy, instead of embarrassment and regret.  


If you love someone starting out in the business, buy a copy for them also because everyone needs a friend even if it’s a virtual one.
