Star People’s Wisdom: Messages From Beyond The Stars For Human Awakening
From the very beginning, Star People’s Wisdom sets itself apart as something more than a book. It is presented as a transmission, a living energy, rather than just words on a page. Author Victoria Basil takes readers on a sweeping exploration of consciousness, from the Akashic Records to the Quantum and into the newly revealed Megaquantic Field. Along the way, she weaves together personal experiences, channeled messages, and cosmic insights. The themes stretch wide: humanity’s spiritual evolution, the balance of light and dark in God, the recalibration of DNA, and the guidance of extraterrestrial beings she calls the Star People. At its heart, the book serves as a transformational map for seekers stepping into deeper awareness of themselves and the universe.
What struck me most was the tone of intimacy and urgency. Basil doesn’t write like a distant teacher. She writes like someone opening a door and waving you in, insisting that you’re ready, even if you don’t feel it yet. At times, I felt pulled into her excitement, almost like sitting with a friend who just discovered something too important to keep to herself. The rawness of her journey, the trauma, the doubts, the strange synchronicities, gave the cosmic material a human grounding that made it relatable, even when the subject matter stretched the limits of comprehension. The writing often circles back, emphasizing key insights with passion. At times the phrasing reaches for grandeur, but the sincerity beneath it kept me turning pages.
Some of the concepts challenged me. The Megaquantic Field, crystalline DNA, and dimensional timelines are not ideas that come easily. Yet I also found myself unexpectedly moved. Her discussion of God as both light and dark, for example, was thought-provoking. It reframed the discomfort I’ve always had with “all light” spirituality, and it felt refreshingly honest. Her channelings from the Star People, whether taken literally or symbolically, carried an energy of encouragement and compassion that I couldn’t dismiss. There’s a warmth in her insistence that no one is broken or too late, and that reminder is a gift in itself.
I would recommend this book to anyone on a spiritual path who feels restless, curious, or out of place in conventional explanations of reality. This is a book for seekers who resonate with words like awakening, energy, higher timelines, and soul expansion, those open to transformational ideas that stretch beyond the boundaries of accepted science. It is not just read, it is experienced. Infused with channeled wisdom and conscious awakening, it serves as both a companion and a catalyst, guiding readers to feel as much as they think. For those ready to expand their awareness, Star People’s Wisdom offers inspiration, remembrance, and a spark of illumination for the path ahead.

Resilience
Resilient follows a young woman hardened by growing up in the foster system who develops an attraction to not only her boss and VP of a motorcycle club, but his cousin as well, leading her on a journey of self-discovery. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
Resilient started as a small idea planted in my mind. My main goal was to create a strong female protagonist who embodied the admirable trait of resilience. My initial visions often took unexpected turns, but in the end, I hope I conveyed the message of resilience to the readers.
Your story features some unique and interesting characters who have their flaws but are still likable. How do you go about creating characters for your story?
Some of the characters are based on my own life and those of those close to me. While I incorporate elements of embellishment and fiction to heighten the excitement and intrigue for the audience, the essence of the characters remains grounded in genuine authenticity.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
The title says it all: resilience is a topic that requires more discussion. Charly’s story emphasizes the importance of dealing with trauma and the ability to persevere despite the hardships she endured. Additionally, the support of friends and family played a significant role in how she navigated the obstacles placed in her path.
What will the next book in that series be about, and when will it be published?
The next book, Courageous, delves into the lives of three characters: Clark, Gun, and Vin. Their story explores the complexities of mental health, a topic familiar to many individuals. Through their experiences, I aim to shed light on the importance of understanding mental health and the various ways people cope with it. I’m genuinely excited to share their journey and the lessons they learn. Courageous was published in April 2025.

Bonding Across Generations
Caleb’s Adventures with Granddad follows a boy and his grandfather who share a bond built on imagination and play, as they find a way to keep their adventures alive as they grow older. What was the inspiration for your story?
The inspiration comes from my grandchildren, especially Caleb. I’ve written stories that included one or more of them as main characters. For this story, Caleb and I talked about our relationship while on a trip we took together. He is very close to me and comes to me when he needs advice or just talk about life. As a result of our closeness, we reminisced about the times he spent with me growing up. This included making up adventures in the backyard (although perhaps not as elaborate as the ones in the book).
I loved the bond that Caleb shared with his grandfather, showing that just because we get older doesn’t mean we have to grow apart and forget the things we love. What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
I wanted to convey the importance a grandparent’s role in grandchildren’s lives because not many people really see that importance today, let alone explore the love between the generations. The dynamics of the nuclear family has changed so much since I was a boy when we spent time with the older relatives. It is sad because young people don’t have that strong connection like we did.
What scene in the book did you have the most fun writing?
The scenes that show the different imaginative adventures Granddad provides for Caleb. It shows the love between the two. Also, the end with how Caleb reciprocates with a BIG surprise for his Granddad.
Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out and what can your fans expect in the next story?
This isn’t a book for a series, but with that said, I do have an idea for a story tentatively called “Granddad’s Treasures” that will include Caleb, his siblings, and his cousins. But this one will be completed within the next few years. My next book that’s coming out this fall is called “Kyle and His Pal Jake – What a Duo these Two Make!” Also, I currently have a story that’s in the editing stage. It’s called “Can We Get A Giraffe?”

From the River to the Sea: Humanizing Freedom
Reem Borrows’ From the River to the Sea: Humanizing Freedom is part memoir, part historical reckoning, and part call to action. The book weaves her personal story as a Palestinian Christian born in Haifa with broader reflections on leadership, justice, and interconnectedness. Split into two sections, it first unpacks history and politics of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle, and then moves into a more philosophical appeal for compassion, unity, and change. From the haunting memories of the Nakba to the powerful imagery of doctors in Haifa declaring, “Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies,” Borrows grounds her arguments in lived experience, historical accounts, and spiritual lessons.
What I appreciated most was her ability to keep the writing deeply human. For example, in the introduction she recalls her family’s immigration to Australia, where for the first time they were treated simply as people and not as second-class citizens. That scene with the customs officer in Sydney, who greeted them warmly, stayed with me. It made me feel the sharp contrast she was drawing freedom in one place, prejudice in another. The writing in those moments felt both tender and powerful.
At the same time, there were parts that hit me with a gut-punch. Her retelling of tragedies like the bombing of an eleven-story building in Gaza, or the story of Muhammad al-Durrah and his father shot while seeking cover, is raw and unsettling. She doesn’t let the reader turn away or hide behind easy narratives. I’ll admit, those pages made me angry, not just at the events themselves but at how easily such stories get brushed aside in mainstream discourse. And when she connects this to other historical injustices, slavery, apartheid, colonization of Indigenous peoples, it made me reflect on how recurring patterns of fear and dehumanization shape so much of human history.
The most thought-provoking sections, though, were where Borrows shifts from history to mindset. She leans on her background in leadership and personal development, blending in lessons from Buddhism, Christianity, and even corporate leadership training. At first it felt almost strange reading about Gaza alongside references to Ernest Hemingway or global business programs but over time I saw her point. She’s trying to show that leadership, love, and fearlessness are not just for politics but for how we live and act daily. Her metaphor of “finding the other tigers and lions” instead of arguing with “donkeys” who refuse truth made me laugh, but it also stuck with me as a reminder not to waste energy on futile battles.
In the end, the book is equal parts lament and hope. It’s not just about Palestine and Israel; it’s about humanity’s tendency to repeat its worst mistakes and our stubborn hope that we can learn to do better. I’d recommend From the River to the Sea to anyone who wants to step outside the usual headlines and feel the human dimension of the conflict. It’s also for readers who enjoy books that mix personal story with big, sometimes uncomfortable questions about justice, love, and what it really means to be free. It’s not always an easy read, but it’s one that leaves you with both a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility.

Along the Trail
The story follows Winnifred Hayes, a young woman traveling westward with her family in search of new beginnings on the Oregon Trail. Through her eyes, we see the monotony of walking behind wagons, the terror of storms and stampedes, and the tender, sometimes complicated bonds that hold families together during hardship. Alongside her sister, Lenora, her hardworking father, her stern but caring mother, and her little brother Elijah, Winnie navigates the endless prairie. She meets other travelers, grows close to a cowhand named Hal, and learns about resilience, love, and the freedom and cost of such a dangerous journey. The novel mixes sweeping depictions of frontier life with intimate family moments, placing the reader right in the dust and uncertainty of the trail.
This book stirred me in ways I didn’t expect. The writing feels honest and unvarnished, like the trail itself. Curtis doesn’t romanticize the hardships, and that makes the fleeting moments of joy all the brighter. I found myself drawn to Winnie’s restlessness and quiet strength. She isn’t fearless, but she pushes forward anyway, and I admired that. Some scenes were so vivid. The dialogue feels natural, not polished, and that gave the characters a warmth I believed in. There were moments when I wished the pace slowed a bit to linger on Winnie’s inner life, but the brisk rhythm mirrored the constant forward push of the journey, so it worked.
What really struck me was how the book captures the pull between freedom and expectation. Winnie looks up to women like Mae, who ride freely and live outside traditional roles, yet she feels the weight of what might be waiting at the end of the trail. That tension hit home for me, because it speaks to how we all wrestle with carving our own path while others try to define it for us. The tender way Curtis explores family ties, especially the quiet understanding between Winnie and her mother, moved me deeply. At times, I felt frustrated right alongside Winnie, and at others, I was swept up in the simple sweetness of a kind smile or a shared laugh.
I’d recommend this book to readers who love historical fiction rooted in real grit and humanity. If you enjoy stories about ordinary people facing extraordinary trials, or if you’ve ever wondered what it felt like to cross a continent with only faith, oxen, and a dream, this is for you. Along the Trail would especially resonate with those who like novels centered on strong young women finding their place in uncertain worlds. It’s heartfelt, raw, and quietly beautiful.

A Graver Danger: White Chalk Crime, The Stunning First-Ever Explanation for School Shootings & How We End Them
When I picked up A Graver Danger, I didn’t expect to be dragged so quickly into a whirlwind of ideas that felt both raw and unsettling. The book is part memoir, part exposé, and part call to arms. At its heart, it argues that corruption and abuse within America’s schools, what Horwitz calls “White Chalk Crime,” is the hidden engine behind many of our deepest social fractures, from the rise of authoritarian politics to the epidemic of school shootings. Horwitz stitches her own story of being pushed out of teaching into a broader narrative about how education has been hollowed out and how that void has rippled across society. It’s heavy, sometimes overwhelming, but undeniably urgent.
Reading her words, I felt a mix of frustration and admiration. The writing is blunt, even fiery, with no attempt to soften edges or hide her anger. At times, the writing felt especially intense, but then I’d pause and realize that intensity might be the most honest way to tell a story like this. She’s lived through years of being ignored, gaslit, and punished for speaking out, and that bruised persistence bleeds through every chapter. The book isn’t polished in a literary sense, but it’s alive. It jolts you. I found myself underlining sentences, not because they were poetic, but because they resonated with me.
What stuck with me most was her refusal to back down. There’s a loneliness to her fight, and it seeps through the pages. Sometimes I felt exhausted keeping up with the intensity, but then I thought about how exhausted she must be after decades of pushing this rock uphill. That gave me a deeper respect for the work. There were moments when the book revisited similar points from different angles. It’s a way of pressing important truths that have often been ignored.
By the time I finished, I wasn’t left with neat answers. I was left with unease, but also a spark of responsibility. I’d recommend this book to anyone who cares about schools, democracy, or just understanding why our culture feels so broken. It’s for people willing to consider that the roots of our national crises may be closer to home than we think. Teachers, parents, and citizens who still believe democracy is worth saving, this is for you.

Falling into Shadow
Falling into Shadow follows multiple characters: Kyra, Sophie, Dante, and Renette. Each is grappling with survival, power, and the shifting balance of their world. Kyra’s desperate flight from Shadow Demons sets a brutal tone. Sophie, an Ionian Knight, carries the burden of protecting others while wrestling with betrayal and political intrigue. Dante is caught between family expectations and his own fractured past. Renette navigates the clash between ambition and the pull of her roots. The threads weave together into a sweeping tale of survival, politics, and looming war in a fragile world that feels as real as it is dangerous.
What I loved most was the immediacy of the writing. It feels cinematic, almost like watching a series unfold on screen. The pacing is relentless in places, then slows down just enough to let you breathe, and that kept me hooked. The action scenes hit hard. They’re vivid, raw, and sometimes gruesome in a way that made me flinch. Yet, they’re balanced with quieter moments that reveal doubts, guilt, and flashes of humanity. I found myself rooting for characters even when they made questionable choices. Kyra’s guilt and Sophie’s frustration, Dante’s longing for approval, Renette’s heartbreak; they all felt painfully real.
Still, there were times when the dialogue carried a little too much explanation, almost like it was doing double duty as worldbuilding. It didn’t ruin anything for me, but I noticed it. And some of the big concepts, like the Eidan’s glimpses of the future or the cloaked armies, had such massive implications that I wanted more space to sit with them. The book barrels forward, and part of me wished for more lingering in those big, head-spinning ideas. But then again, that urgency is part of what made it addictive.
Falling into Shadow is a ride worth taking. It’s brutal, imaginative, and packed with heart. I’d recommend it to readers who love fast-paced sci-fi with strong characters and aren’t afraid of a little blood and grit. Reading Falling into Shadow felt like a mix of the gritty survival of The Expanse and the mythic, character-driven drama of Dune, only with a rawer edge and a faster pulse. If you like stories that mix political intrigue with personal stakes, this one will pull you in and not let go.

LITERARY TITAN
