15-Love

  Young Man on Tennis Court with Tennis Balls all over the court


15-Love 


A heartfelt, sharply funny coming-of-age debut about chasing dreams, navigating crushes, and finding your voice—both on and off the court.

Rion Miller has two goals: win on the tennis court and survive sophomore year. Simple enough. But with financial pressure mounting, a part-time job draining his energy, and a very real crush on his best friend’s older brother, life suddenly feels more complicated than nailing a clean forehand.

Between juggling work, high school chaos, and high-stakes matches, Rion’s sophomore year becomes more tangled, electric, and emotionally charged than he ever imagined. With every serve and sidelong glance, he’s forced to question what really matters—and whether chasing your dreams means standing your ground… or learning to let go.

15-Love is a deeply relatable story of first loves, fierce friendships, and the quiet courage it takes to go after what you want—even when the odds are stacked against you.

The Echo of Ucayali

   Two Lions under a two shaded Moon



The novel The Echo of Ucayali is both an anthropological journey into the world of Amazonian shamans and a mystical adventure non-fiction, based on real events and told in the first person. The author, a linguist and transpersonal psychologist, spends two years in the Ucayali River region. During this time, she films a series of documentary shorts about the magical consciousness of the Shipibo shamans — but soon finds herself drawn into their world: under the influence of black magic and in search of liberation, she uncovers the most unpredictable secrets of the Amazonian healers. This book explores the spirits of the Amazon, the gifts and hidden perils of its sacred plants, the profound meaning of confianza and shamanic contracts, and the delicate line between light and darkness in a realm where energy is the ultimate currency. It is intended for those who embark on distant quests in search of transformation, who seek spiritual growth, and who take an interest in shamanism, depth psychology, and the cultures of indigenous peoples. The Echo of Ucayali is a richly textured narrative full of insight, adventure, and mysticism that offers a rare window into a hidden world bridging the ancient and the modern.

I IRS (My Hell of Life)

  Two Faces Looking Stern with American Flag


From poverty to persecution, from faith to fire—this is a life the IRS couldn’t audit.

In I IRS (My Hell of Life), James M. Moten delivers an unfiltered memoir of survival, racism, and spiritual endurance. Born in Crockett, Texas, and raised amid the cruel realities of segregation and poverty, Moten’s story begins where most would end—with tragedy. From the “Texas Inferno,” where systemic racism and violence took lives without justice, to the “House of Horrors” in Tucson, where hunger and hardship forged his resilience, every chapter reveals the making of a man shaped by pain but sustained by purpose.

Through the voice of lived experience, Moten recounts a life haunted by loss yet guided by angels—his unshakeable faith in God serving as his compass through every trial. His journey through La Reforma, a turbulent housing project he dubs the “Racial World War III,” exposes the raw reality of American division and the strength it takes to rise above it. Eventually, his path leads to the IRS—an unlikely battlefield where racism takes on institutional form, and perseverance becomes rebellion.

Moten’s life story mirrors the emotional gravity of works like The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Between the World and Me—but it stands apart in its candor. His words pierce with both pain and perseverance, turning his autobiography into a testament of divine protection and human grit.

"A raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and faith against unimaginable odds." - MainSpring Books

This is not just the story of an IRS agent—it’s the chronicle of a man who wrestled hell and lived to tell the truth.

A journey through suffering, faith, and redemption—I IRS (My Hell of Life) is proof that survival is its own kind of grace.

THE SECRET MURDER of Brian Jones

  Picture of Brian Jones with Mates




What if the founder of the Rolling Stones didn’t drown—what if he was silenced?

In The Secret Murder of Brian Jones, author Richard Gilbride embarks on a chilling, evidence-driven investigation into one of rock’s darkest mysteries—the death of the Rolling Stones’ visionary founder. What began as a haunting dream led Gilbride into years of research, uncovering contradictions, cover-ups, and missing records that point to a single conclusion: Brian Jones didn’t die by misadventure—he was murdered.

Through detailed testimonies and forensic revelations, Gilbride reconstructs the night of July 2, 1969, when Jones’ body was found lifeless in his Cotchford Farm swimming pool. Eyewitness accounts—some silenced for decades—suggest a brutal struggle, a burning of evidence, and a carefully staged scene that erased the truth before dawn. From builders with violent motives, to insiders who looted his estate, to the manipulation of police reports and inquests, every chapter reveals a deeper conspiracy hidden beneath the myth of the “cursed rock star.”

A masterful blend of meticulous research and gripping storytelling, Richard Gilbride’s The Secret Murder of Brian Jones exposes long-buried truths behind the rock legend’s death, making it a standout in the true crime genre” 

 MainSpring Books

But beyond the scandal, Gilbride brings to light the brilliance of a man long overshadowed by the legends he helped create. Brian Jones was not only a founding Stone—he was a musical prodigy fluent in over twenty instruments, whose sound shaped an era. His story, told here with empathy and precision, becomes both a true-crime chronicle and a eulogy for genius undone by envy and betrayal.

Fans of rock history and true-crime revelations—from Helter Skelter to Who Killed Christopher Robin?—will find Gilbride’s account impossible to put down.

More than fifty years later, the truth finally surfaces—one revelation at a time.

Exploring Souls & The Karmic Charade

 Exploring Souls  & The Karmic Charade

 

Young Girl holding hand of a dark shadow Figure


In Exploring Souls – The Art of Understanding Who We Really Are, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru, one of the most appreciated essayists of our time and a constant presence in the bestseller lists of Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Books, continues his extraordinary journey through the inner world of the human spirit. With over 100 published books of essays, Dumitru has built an impressive body of work centered on emotional awareness, self-knowledge, and the complexity of human existence. This book stands as one of his most introspective and enlightening creations.

In Exploring Souls, Dumitru guides the reader beyond the surface of everyday life, inviting us to look deeper into who we truly are beneath masks, fears, and social expectations. Through a delicate blend of philosophy, psychology, and poetic insight, he reveals that the soul is not something distant or mystical—it is the very essence of our being, often hidden under layers of illusion and noise. Each page feels like a quiet conversation between the heart and the mind, filled with gentle provocations meant to awaken forgotten truths.

The author does not pretend to offer formulas or rigid doctrines. Instead, he proposes a way of seeing—an art of understanding. He writes about love, vulnerability, solitude, and faith as states of the soul that define our human experience. “To explore the soul,” he suggests, “means to understand the contradictions that live inside us and to accept them as parts of a larger harmony.” His essays are bridges between light and shadow, between knowing and feeling.

What makes Dumitru’s work stand out is his authenticity. He writes not from theory but from life itself, using personal introspection as a path toward collective understanding. His words carry a calm intensity, balancing tenderness with depth. Readers who follow his reflections will recognize that this is not a book to be rushed through—it is one to be lived with, contemplated, and slowly absorbed.

Exploring Souls – The Art of Understanding Who We Really Are is more than a literary experience; it is a journey toward inner freedom. Through his powerful yet graceful prose, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru reminds us that true knowledge begins when we dare to meet our own soul—with honesty, compassion, and courage.








The Devil between two lovers


In The Karmic Charade – Spiritual & Philosophical Essays, Adrian Gabriel Dumitru, one of the most well-known essayists of our time and an author whose works consistently appear in the top-seller lists on Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Play Books, delivers a remarkable exploration of karma, illusion, and human destiny. With over one hundred books of essays published, Dumitru has become a defining voice in modern reflective literature—an observer of the unseen, a philosopher of the heart.

In this book, he delves into the paradox of existence, portraying life as a great charade where every soul plays its role within the laws of karma. Yet, rather than viewing karma as punishment, Dumitru redefines it as an elegant system of self-discovery, where every experience—joyful or painful—leads to awakening. “We are not punished by the universe,” he writes, “but taught by it until we finally understand.” This profound yet simple truth lies at the core of his reflections.

Each essay flows like a meditation, blending philosophy, spirituality, and emotion. Dumitru’s prose invites the reader into a quiet space of introspection, where thought becomes feeling and feeling turns into wisdom. His words carry the calm authority of someone who has observed both the beauty and chaos of existence and learned to see them as one. Through stories, reflections, and paradoxes, he unveils how human souls are trapped in illusions of control while destiny gently guides them toward understanding.

The Karmic Charade is not a doctrine—it is a mirror. Dumitru’s elegant writing challenges the reader to confront personal patterns and recognize how life repeats itself until inner transformation occurs. His essays suggest that enlightenment begins not in escape, but in acceptance; not in denying the game, but in learning its meaning.

Adrian Gabriel Dumitru’s talent lies in transforming abstract concepts into living emotions. His writing blends depth and accessibility, poetry and philosophy, thought and heart. The Karmic Charade continues his lifelong mission: to help readers rediscover themselves beneath illusions.

In this masterful work, Dumitru reminds us that the purpose of life is not perfection, but awareness. We are all actors in a karmic play—learning, forgetting, awakening—until we remember who we truly are.

Domestic Silence

Trees and a beautiful colorful Sky scene

Domestic Silence


Domestic Silence is a striking debut by poet Tut Yashar—a collection that turns pain into poetry and silence into strength. Written with raw honesty and emotional depth, this book gives voice to the quiet battles many endure but rarely share, particularly those touched by abuse and domestic violence.

Over the course of 18 months, Yashar crafted a journey through survival, resilience, and liberation, weaving her personal experiences into poems that feel universal. Each piece captures the emotional reality of love, loss, injustice, and hope, offering readers both comfort and courage.

What makes Domestic Silence especially compelling is Yashar’s unique blend of analytical precision and heartfelt vulnerability. With a background in law, finance, and operations, she writes with both structure and soul—revealing how reason and emotion can coexist, even in our darkest moments. Her words illuminate the inner strength that emerges from struggle and the beauty that can be found in reclaiming one’s voice.

Through her poetry, Yashar sheds light on the often unseen trauma of domestic violence—its pain, isolation, and lasting echoes—while offering a message of empowerment and renewal. Her work reminds readers that healing is possible and that no one is truly alone in their silence.

Domestic Silence speaks to survivors, allies, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Tut Yashar’s debut marks the arrival of a fearless new voice in contemporary poetry—one dedicated to truth, empowerment, and the transformative power of words.

ORIGIN OF MIND: The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

 A Mind full of electrical Energy.


ORIGIN OF MIND:

The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain


Anthropologist Clyde Kluckhohn, tells of a two-year-old American boy who grew up only able to speak Chinese. English made no sense to him. His understanding, his beliefs, and his philosophy were all Chinese, not American. He could easily interpret those strange writings that made no sense to us. How could this be? 

This sets the stage for a journey through your own mind. Fully illustrated throughout with challenging 3-D illusions and ideas of beauty, this book takes us through a new perspective on how words color our very perception of reality, from the point where consciousness and cognition of our mind kick in, to the mind of the 9/11 terrorists, to the reasons why we have 10,000 versions of religions that many believe is the only true religion.

Learning does not just give the brain information to use in processing, as a computer; the new evidence shows that it CHANGES THE BRAIN itself so completely that it creates a new reality in the brain. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This is the new psychology that goes beyond the tame view you read in a textbook.

The first ideas embedded in our brain by others, like the language we speak, become the criteria by which we judge all things. All of this is learned through a process so subtle and so unconscious that it is taken for granted. We see this daily in our politics, our religions, our sports, and our interpersonal relationships.

According to the Ethnologue, there are 7,159 known languages; yet, we can only understand the words of one or a few of those languages. We cannot comprehend other words, ideas, or beliefs. Even in our personal relationships, politics, and religions, the beliefs of others sound like a foreign language. Our failure to teach our children how deeply this impacts their minds, emotions, and personal beliefs has contributed to the difficulty of understanding others and our politics of hate, endless wars, and witch hunts, with everyone convinced that their beliefs are the only sensible ones.

The Neuroscience of Reading Music:

 Brain with Music behind it.



HOW DOES READING MUSIC IMPROVE THE BRAIN?

This groundbreaking book for music takes the reader into the human brain to discover the neural pathways for all music activities – including the essential neural pathways for composers, conductors, and all instrumental and vocal musicians who perform from printed music.

“The Neuroscience of Reading Music” explores numerous topics including:


    • What are the differences in the brain between “playing by ear” and “playing from notation?”

    • Why is it neurologically improbable that learning notation early harms or lessens music intelligence, as many educators currently believe?

    • What is the real role of music intelligence in reading music notation?

    • What is alphabetic logic and how can it speed up the note reading process?

    • Is simple-to-complex hierarchy neurologically necessary or just optional in learning notation?

    • How does whole body coordination affect learning abilities?

    • What is the similarity between reading notation and general classroom subjects?


    Moir shared her ideas and concerns with Howard Gardner, the eminent Harvard professor and widely accepted authority on the intelligences, who wrote the book Frames of Mind, the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983). 

    “You raise an interesting set of issues. Best wishes for the success of your book.”

    SACRED SOUL

     Line drawing of Face


    The Sacred in the Everyday: Discovering Stillness, Grace, and Soulful Meaning Through Poetry

    Poetry is often the vessel through which we explore our innermost truths—and in Sacred Soul, Bulgarian poet Svetla Yordanova offers a rare invitation into a world shaped by introspection, spiritual seeking, and raw human emotion. Originally published in a bilingual edition in 1995 and now re-released for a broader English-speaking audience, this collection is a timeless bridge between Eastern European depth and universal human experience.

    From the opening verses of “Touch” to the soul-stirring lines of “Sacred Soul,” Yordanova guides readers through vignettes of love, loss, motherhood, mortality, and philosophical reflection. She writes not to impress, but to connect—to invite us to see the world and ourselves with new eyes. Whether she is speaking as a visionary (“The Visionary”), questioning identity (“Someone Else”), or exploring divine presence (“Close to God”), her voice is gentle yet piercing.

    What makes Sacred Soul truly remarkable is its ability to hold both the intimate and the infinite in a single stanza. Yordanova’s metaphors dance between ancient myth and modern reality, personal memory and collective truth. Her poem “Like Hipatia,” for example, honors the martyrdom of a female philosopher while making a powerful statement about truth and courage in today’s world.

    Reading Sacred Soul feels like holding a mirror up to your spirit—what you find may surprise you, heal you, or simply remind you that you are not alone.” — Reader Reflection

    For readers who seek more than words—for those who seek to feel, to reflect, to be moved—Sacred Soul is not just a book. It’s a companion for the quiet hours, a mirror to your thoughts, and a sacred conversation between poet and soul.
