Junior Lee is the kind of man who never stops moving—because when he stops, the silence gets too loud. A devoted father, overworked husband, and the one everyone leans on, Junior is suffocating beneath the weight of responsibility and expectations. But no one notices. Not his boss, who constantly demands more. Not his wife, who's grown emotionally distant. Not even his teenage children, who treat his presence like furniture—always there, always assumed.

His home is no haven, his job is a cage, and his mind is a war zone. Junior is drowning in a world that mistakes silence for strength. Every time he tries to speak up about his pain, he's met with phrases like:

\"You'll be fine.\"

\"Man up.\"

\"You don't have it that bad.\"

Junior's only escape is late-night drives and solitary walks in the woods—searching for air, for clarity, for something. But the pressure keeps building: financial strain, emotional neglect, social isolation, and untreated depression.

The story unfolds in a dual-timeline narrative: the present-day unraveling of Junior's life, and moments from his childhood that shaped his fear of vulnerability. Readers watch in slow heartbreak as Junior tries to hold it together, desperately seeking a place to breathe—only to realize the world never made space for men like him to exhale.

Until, one day, he disappears.

Dead Ends Lie!

They told you to follow the clues. You should've run instead.

When five strangers are found murdered in five days—each left at the end of a dead-end street with their eyes sewn shut and a playing card in their mouth—the media calls it madness. The police call it a pattern. Detective Rafe Mercer calls it personal.

Because he's seen this before.

Every trail leads nowhere. Every alibi feels rehearsed. Every witness vanishes the moment they speak. And just when Mercer thinks he's closing in, the killer leaves a new body—one that couldn't possibly be dead.

As the city spirals into panic, Mercer begins to suspect he's not chasing a killer. He's chasing a narrative—one written by someone who knows every trope, every twist, every move he'll make before he makes it. And worse? They're letting him get close... on purpose.

Because in this mystery, nothing is what it seems.

The suspects are acting. The clues are planted.

And the ending? You've been lied to since page one.

Dead Ends Lie! is a razor-edged psychological mystery soaked in gore, betrayal, and deception. A brutal, fast-paced thrill ride where clichÃ©s are weapons, every dead end is a trap, and the only real clue... is that you know absolutely nothing.

The High Life!

Forklifts, farts, and the fine art of getting fired... again.

Meet Randy Brennan—warehouse worker by day, certified prank legend by choice, and lifelong advocate of \"elevated living\" (he's got the ankle tattoo to prove it). With a joint in one hand and zero shame in the other, Randy doesn't just live the high life—he drives it, mostly into walls, pallets, and occasionally, his supervisor's golf cart.

Whether he's building a throne out of bubble wrap, hotboxing the loading dock, or pretending to run a forklift-driving dojo, Randy turns every shift into a chaotic carnival of stunts, schemes, and side-splitting sabotage. But just when you think he's peaked—enter Larry and Christian: two human disasters who crank the madness to maximum. And let's not forget Randy's arch-nemesis, CB, a clipboard-wielding tyrant who once lost a mustache in a glue gun incident that was definitely Randy's fault.

From forklift jousting matches to weed-infused office bake-offs, no second of this story is safe from uncontrollable laughter. With wild plot twists, absurd workplace wars, and more crashes than a toddler on espresso, The High Life! is a gut-busting, tear-streaming, laugh-until-you-pass-out rollercoaster.

Warning: Reading this in public may result in concerned looks, laughter-induced wheezing, and possibly being asked to leave.

They were built to be overlooked. Trained to be invisible. Now they're humanity's last line of defense.

In a world where size defines strength, four little people dared to defy everything.

Mocked during boot camp. Bullied during training. Discharged due to \"incompatibility.\" But what the military saw as weakness, two shadow generals saw as opportunity.

Meet S.I.Z.E.D.:

Small

Zeal

Elite

Defense

Four dismissed underdogs—Dre (Black, the unshakable leader), Cody (white, sniper with ice in his veins), Kwan (Asian, master of infiltration and silent elimination), and Rosa (Latina, tech and explosives genius)—are secretly recruited into a covert ops initiative. Enhanced, trained in silence, and forged into an unstoppable team, they become the military's most classified asset: the Ghost Unit.

But when the very soldiers who mocked them are captured deep behind enemy lines, the mission nobody else can pull off falls into the hands of the squad nobody believed in.

Now it's up to S.I.Z.E.D. to infiltrate hostile territory, outwit an army, and rescue an entire platoon from certain death. With time ticking, odds stacked, and only each other to rely on, the smallest soldiers face the biggest mission of their lives.

S.I.Z.E.D.: Small In Stature, Elite by Design is a heart-pounding, motivational military thriller packed with explosive action, unforgettable characters, and a story that proves size doesn't limit impact—heart does.

This isn't just a book. It's an action movie waiting to explode off the page. Fans of The A-Team, Mission: Impossible, and Kingsman will be hooked from chapter one.

They were doubted. Discarded. Disrespected.

Now, they're coming to save the day—and rewrite the rules of war.
