StarChaser: A Sci-Fi Adventure Across Space and Time

At the age of seven, Dug Cooperpoly was abducted by aliens who secretly embedded blueprints in his subconscious for building a time-powered starship. Fast forward years later, StarChaser is born, enabling its crew of eleven to travel across galaxies in mere seconds through a process called TimeStamping. The key to time travel is priceless, and dangerous criminal organizations will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Security Officer Josh Charles and his loyal iBot Sparky face constant threats, from shape-shifters to ruthless crime lords, as they work to protect the ship during its construction.

Prepare for a wild ride:

• Discover alien species that visited Earth over a thousand years ago, playing a crucial role in our evolution, including the creation of the Great Pyramids.
• Journey to the Andromeda galaxy, 2.5 million light years from Earth, to rescue aliens trapped in an alternate dimension.
• Rescue missions to Jupiter’s moon Io and daring escapes from time warps that take the crew back to the Big Bang itself.
• Visit Kepler-442, where life forms have evolved beyond physical bodies.
• Explore underground cities on the frozen planet Trillum-70, too cold to sustain life on its surface.
• Our astrophysicist Kat gives birth to an alien baby.
• We explored the Mandlebrott star system, looking for the return portal to Earth.

The adventure never stops with StarChaser. Our beta reader Susan summed it up perfectly: “The StarChaser crew visits so many different alien worlds, it’s like reading three Sci-fi books in one.” Buckle up for a cosmic journey like no other

From Insanity to Serenity ~ A Journey from Despair to Resilience
by Dr. Darren Skinner

From Insanity to Serenity is a raw, powerful, and deeply personal collection of 53 poems chronicling the emotional, psychological, and spiritual journey of Dr. Darren Skinner—U.S. Army Veteran, 9/11 survivor, professional social worker, and recovering alcoholic. Through haunting verse and heartfelt reflection, Dr. Skinner guides readers through the darkest valleys of addiction, trauma, and loss toward the light of healing, recovery, and spiritual renewal.

This book is more than poetry; it's a testimony of survival. Each poem captures a moment in time—moments of despair, of revelation, of love, and of courage—organized into thematic sections such as DESPAIR, RECOVERY, LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS, SPIRITUALITY, and RESILIENCE. The writing is unflinching yet redemptive, offering readers not only a glimpse into one man’s struggle, but also hope for their own transformation.

Written during his recovery journey, Dr. Skinner’s words reflect the power of vulnerability, faith, and self-expression. They serve as both a mirror and a beacon for anyone navigating the complexities of healing—be it from addiction, trauma, or life’s relentless challenges.

Whether you are in recovery, support someone who is, or are simply seeking inspiration, From Insanity to Serenity invites you to walk with Darren from brokenness to beauty, and from suffering to serenity.

Two unlikely characters meet up in what starts out as a formal set of interviews to uncover some local history. Janey chats with Bill at a local aged care facility to find out about some not too distant history. What she discovers is more akin to a rollicking ride of not just knowledge sharing but some deft wisdom is imparted as well. Janey puts things into action and creates her own wishing stick collection.

"The Wishing Stick & More reads well. The characters are three-dimensional and realistically motivated; the events that happen are realistic, amusing and interesting. The reader certainly wants to know what happens next!"

Amy’s life is a mess—and not in the cute, quirky way. She’s a sarcasm-wielding corporate burnout with a mountain of unresolved issues, a stalking ex, and a rescue dog with more emotional intelligence than her last three dates combined. One rainy night, she locks herself out mid-meltdown—with the dog still inside.

Enter Tomasz: her brooding, infuriatingly fit neighbour. A former decathlete turned recluse, Tomasz has his own ghosts—and zero interest in saving anyone, least of all the hot mess next door. But when their worlds collide (with a lot of barking and some broken glass), a reluctant friendship forms. One built on silent understanding, late-night runs, and trauma they’d rather not talk about.

As attraction simmers and boundaries blur, both Amy and Tomasz must confront the lies they’ve told themselves—about who they are, what they deserve, and whether love is a risk worth taking when survival has always been the goal.

Set in the heart of London’s emotional grind and powered by caffeine, playlists, and a stubborn refusal to heal quietly, Distorted Beat is a romance for the romantically hesitant, the emotionally feral, and anyone who’s ever fallen in love while falling apart.

TRIPPING THE ALLEGORY FANTASTIC is an exquisitely distinctive, ground-breaking book of poetry.  It speaks of life, death, rebirth, love, and all that is in-between.  This watershed collection takes the reader on a journey that is joyful, humorous, and spiritually insightful.  A delicious mix of Free-Form poems, Sonnets, Sestinas, and Haikus pirouette throughout the pages.  And, its illustrative art brings forth a mystical mixture of beauty and nature, that is very pleasing to the eye.  

Through mild musings, TRIPPING THE ALLEGORY FANTASTIC inspires us to find a more meaningful sense of self, and of the world around us.  Its dulcet verse reminds us to engage more soulfully within, as we dance our dance through life.  

By turns moving and reflective, playful and wise, THE TRANSCENDENCE explores the spiritual growth of Holland Millar; an intellectual man whose life, along with the lives of his family and friends, takes the reader on a journey of inspiration and self-discovery.  Life, death, and healing co-exist peacefully here, from bursts of tulips in the sudden heat of spring, to flurries of snow in the cold of the city, to the warm comfort of family at the kitchen table.  Each story and poem contains a spiritually enlightened teaching, revealing the profound and infinite nature of the self.

Budaic and metaphysical, teeming with light and mystical truths, THE TRANSCENDENCE is a revolutionary novella.  Its powerful prose and poetry allows us to experience a deeper understanding of ourselves, and our spirituality.

Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien chose to make his life in Roombelow, on Earth. He is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his friends need help.

Roombelow suffers from the after-effects of the attack by rock-chewing Scarab beatles and even the Aquamites’ world is crumbling.

A hole appeared in the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. The lake began to empty and thirty Aquamites were swept away to end up in the lake of the Tritians.

Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is in trouble.

Jimmy organised rescue for the young Aquamites by his advanced, home race from the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. Annison refused assistance until all her friends were treated. As a result, Annison slipped into a coma from which the Attalians could not revive her.

Annison is doomed to a living death unless Jimmy can call upon aid from a higher authority.
