About the Book


Why does the selfish succeed while the kind suffer? This question has haunted humanity for centuries—but what if it’s the wrong question entirely?
 

In this deeply thought-provoking book, author Vu Do invites readers to explore the hidden patterns behind life’s seeming injustices. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, and the laws of nature, he reveals a universe built not on fairness, but on balance—where light needs darkness, and struggle conceals blessings.

 

Discover:

* Why good and bad are not opposites—but partners

* How the concept of duality shapes every experience

* The meaning behind suffering, delay, and paradox

* How to find peace in what once felt unfair

 

This is not a book of answers. It’s a book of deeper seeing. A quiet revolution for the soul who dares to question the surface—and trust what lies beneath.


About the Author

 

 Vu M. Do is a writer, thinker, and keen observer of life’s paradoxes. Grounded in daily meditation, he explores the balance between light and shadow, meaning and mystery: a passionate tea enthusiast and gardener who loves Japanese maple trees. He values the beauty of simplicity and finds wisdom in silence. He lives by the philosophy that less is more. His work reflects a curiosity about duality, justice, and the fundamental rhythms that shape human life.

Dark Suspense Spotlight: Family Ties by Michele Packard

About the Book

 

 When an unidentified patient is admitted to a psychiatric ward, her erratic behavior and cryptic journal entries leave the staff scrambling for answers. Fragmented tales of abandonment, conspiracy, and violence spill from her lips, blurring the line between reality and delusion.


Dr. Teresa Brock is determined to uncover the truth. But every clue she uncovers deepens the mystery, pulling her into a labyrinth of chilling revelations. Is the patient a victim of mental illness? A master manipulator? Or something far more dangerous?

 

About the Author

 

 Michele Packard writes like she talks—with just enough sarcasm to make you smirk and squirm at the same time. An award-winning, multi-genre author, Packard is best known for her snarky, high-stakes thrillers that blend conspiracy, chaos, and current events. But she’s not afraid to slow down the pace and get personal, especially when sharing stories that open conversations around mental health, addiction, and grief.

Her background? Military kid turned cable TV exec turned full-time mom—and now, full-throttle storyteller. Her family dubbed her "AESOP" for her tendency to exaggerate (okay, lie creatively), and she's proudly living up to the name. Whether she's writing fiction that reads like Bourne meets The Americans, or raw nonfiction that hits where it hurts, Packard keeps readers hooked with her wit, grit, and brutal honesty.


Her books have been recognized by the American Book Festival, BestThrillers.com, Pencraft Awards, and Writer’s Digest, among others. But her favorite accolades come from readers who say, “I stayed up all night reading,” or, “You put into words what I’ve felt for years.”

About the Book


1580.
Nelan Michaels docks at Plymouth after sailing around the world aboard The Golden Hind. He seeks only to master his mystical powers – the mark of the salamander, that mysterious spirit of fire – and reunite with his beloved Eleanor. 
After delivering a message to Francis Walsingham, he’s recruited into the service of the Queen’s spymaster, where his astral abilities help him to predict and thwart future plots against the realm.
But in 1588, the Spanish Armada threatened England’s shores.
So, how could the fledgling navy of a small, misty isle on the edge of mainland Europe repulse the greatest fleet in the world?
Was the Queen right when she claimed it was divine intervention, saying, ‘He blew with His winds, and they were scattered!’?
Or was it an entirely different intervention – the extraordinary conjunction of coincidences that Nelan’s astral powers brought to bear on that fateful Midnight of Eights?

About the Book

In 4029, Homo convertibilis has replaced Homo sapiens and their scientists study the "Pierre de Vent," a collection of political, historical, and ancient sacred texts written by the "founding father," who is the reference of the new society.
 

2054, to combat the chronic anemia of the sedentary population, who live cloistered and under government tutelage, the pharmaceutical company Orson and Orson, of which Nucleus is the main shareholder, developed a regenerative pill called Jouvence. Everyone is clamoring for it. "Unfortunately," the side effects of the miracle product affect the libido of the consumers, causing them to literally die of pleasure. 

 

Nucleus manipulates governments to gradually rid the planet of the surplus humans who no longer have a place in a society where finance has supplanted mass consumerism. His hope is to turn Earth into a true Eden for his people who are, in his eyes, the only humans worthy of survival. However, a persistent infertility crisis amongst his kind, casts a dark shadow over his once-promising vision of a utopian future. Meanwhile, in the Metropolis, some Sedentaries, including Winston, manage to escape the systematic and inevitable extermination set in motion by Nucleus. 

 

Will they be able to survive the persecution of the army of liberty and the reactivation of the GMO seeds of hyper-accumulating hyacinths that has covered the entire planet? 

 

Gripping, provocative, and chillingly prescient, Eden: The Final Solution is a dystopian tour de force that challenges the limits of progress, morality and reimagine the Orwellian dystopia, shaped by the excesses and anxieties of our time. Fans of Brave New World and 1984 will find themselves enthralled—and terrified—by this haunting vision of the future.


About the Author


Pascal Bouquillard is a jack-of-all-trades. After graduating from the “Baccalauréat économique et social” in France, he pursued classical music studies at the “École Normale de Musique de Paris”, taught for almost 30 years, acted on American stages in South Carolina and published acoustic versions of his favorite songs on the YouTube channel, “pascalsguitar”.
 

At the end of the ’80s, he spent several years touring Europe and French-speaking countries with the “Trio Français de Guitare”, which he co-founded and which specialized in transcriptions of works by early 20th-century composers. Unfortunately, focal dystonia prevents him from pursuing a career as a classical guitarist. He then obtained a scholarship to the “Maitrise de Musique Baroque de Versailles”, where he played tenor and was introduced to conducting. 

 

In the ’90s, he co-founded the progressive rock band Saens, in which he was composer, singer, bassist and acoustic guitarist, and with whom he released three albums: Les Regrets d’Isidore D, Escaping From The Hands Of God and Prophet In A Statistical World. 

 

In 1997, he conducted Benjamin Britten’s opera “Noah’s Ark” at the Cathédrale Saint Louis in Versailles, the Église Saint Augustin in Paris and the Théâtre de Poissy. That same year, he was invited to conduct a group of musicians from the Orchestre National de France at the Théâtre des Champs Élysées, on the occasion of Mstislav Rostropovich’s 70th birthday. 

 

He then moved to the USA to find the woman he was to marry. Interested by the turn the world economy is taking, he returns to his original political passions. 

 

After more than 5 years of research and reflection as part of a virtual focused group of French citizens, and driven by the anxieties provoked by his discoveries, he launched into the writing of “Eden” and the “Practical Guide toward an Atomic Democracy”.
