The Eternal Bridge
The Eternal Bridge is a fantasy parable about a world healed on the surface yet still aching inside. The story begins three years after Geshriel becomes a living bridge that joins two once-hostile shores. People trade, marry, feast, and rebuild, and life looks whole again. Then small tremors shake the land, crops wither, and feasts feel thinner, and the community senses a deeper break between earth and heaven that no wooden span can fix. The book follows families like Fidel and Verita, Liberta and Dathan, and many others as they wrestle with grief, restlessness, and hope while they wait for Geshriel to return and complete the work he began. In the final movement, the bridge turns into a vertical path of light, the dead are raised, a radiant city descends, and the people find their true home in the presence of the Lamb and the Maker, in a union that feels final and yet ever deepening.
I felt pulled in first by the tenderness of the relationships. The marriages and families feel warm and lived in, and I cared about them very quickly. The scenes of simple daily life on the bridge, the artisan work, the trade, the shared meals, all carry a quiet glow. When the cracks appear in that paradise, the emotional punch hits hard, because the book has already convinced me that this community matters. The later reunions with lost children, spouses, and elders hit an even deeper nerve. The big theological ideas turn very personal there, because the hope of resurrection shows up not as an abstract promise but as a mother getting her baby back, or a couple finally freed from decades of guilt.
The prose leans lyrical and earnest, and sometimes it worked for me. The symbols are very clear, and the story rarely hides what it wants to say. The bridge, the orchard, the feast, the tremors, every image points to a spiritual theme. That clarity will comfort some readers. The early chapters linger on peaceful life on the bridge, and a few of those sections felt long, while the cosmic finale races by in a rush of visions, reunions, and worship. I enjoyed that ending.
I would recommend The Eternal Bridge to readers who love clear, heartfelt Christian allegory and who enjoy stories in the vein of C. S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce or classic devotional fiction. If you are hungry for a story that talks openly about loss, longing, reunion, and eternal hope, and if you like the idea of seeing big doctrinal themes lived out in ordinary families, this novel will likely move you.

Zen and the Art of Dog Training
Zen and the Art of Dog Training weaves together the story of one man’s transformation through his relationship with his dog, Lala. What begins as a chance rescue on a foggy coastal road becomes a profound exploration of trust, mindfulness, and emotional growth. The author uses his journey, from fear of dogs to becoming a professional trainer, as a framework for sharing practical lessons on discipline, presence, and compassion. Each chapter connects dog training with self-awareness, moving from the basics of structure and obedience to deeper themes of ego, meditation, and the search for balance in everyday life. It’s both a memoir and a guide, written with an honesty that makes the philosophical parts feel grounded and relatable.
Reading this book felt surprisingly intimate. The writing has a warmth to it, and I could feel the author’s sincerity in every line. There’s no arrogance here, just humility and heart. The early chapters hit me hardest, especially the ones describing the author’s fear of dogs and how Lala helped him heal from heartbreak. The mix of vulnerability and insight drew me in completely. At times, the lessons about leadership and emotional regulation felt like life advice disguised as dog training. Some sections meandered a little, but that almost added to the book’s charm, it felt like listening to a close friend talk about lessons learned the hard way. The pacing flowed between reflection and instruction in a way that felt natural, and the tone stayed gentle even when the ideas turned deep.
I didn’t expect a dog training book to talk so openly about meditation, ego, and acceptance, but it worked. The author makes these ideas feel accessible, not preachy. There’s a calm rhythm to his explanations that mirrors the peace he’s trying to describe. When he writes about finding balance, both in training and in life, it resonated with me. The blend of Zen philosophy and practical advice felt refreshing. It reminded me that patience, consistency, and awareness are not just tools for working with dogs but for living better overall.
I’d recommend Zen and the Art of Dog Training to anyone who loves dogs or is curious about the connection between behavior and mindset. It’s ideal for people who want more than a step-by-step manual and prefer stories that make them think and feel. Trainers, pet owners, and even readers on their own self-discovery journeys will find something meaningful here.

Star People’s Wisdom
Star People’s Wisdom moves through levels of consciousness like Akashic, Quantum, and what Basil calls the Megaquantic Field, weaving cosmic science and divine energy into one sweeping spiritual map. It’s not written like a story so much as received energy, a transmission from something higher. The messages from Star People, the talk of DNA shifting into crystalline light, and the merging of God as both darkness and radiance, it all reads like a channeled vision of what’s coming for humanity. The pages buzz with devotion and a call to remember who we really are: infinite beings in a body, walking a universe made of vibration and love.
I’ll be honest, parts of it left me breathless, other parts left me spinning. There’s this raw sincerity in the author’s words, like she’s cracked open her heart and just let the universe speak. Her talk of the “Megaquantic Field” feels wild and new, like she’s building a bridge between physics and prayer. The writing swings between poetic and deeply personal. You can tell she’s lived what she’s sharing. Every fear, every awakening, every night spent staring into the void looking for God. It’s not academic, but that’s part of its charm. It’s like sitting in a long conversation with a friend.
There’s a lot here. Cosmic downloads, alien collectives, energetic codes. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. But when I stopped trying to “get” it and just felt it, something shifted. Her words carried a vibration, like they weren’t meant to convince but to awaken. I felt my own memories stir, old ones, soul-deep ones. Maybe that’s what she meant when she said the book is alive. It really does feel that way.
If you’re someone who’s walking a spiritual path, who’s ever felt like the world doesn’t quite fit anymore, this book will resonate with you. It’s perfect for the seekers, the sensitives, the ones who talk to the stars at night and mean it. It’s for the dreamers and those who are ready, as Basil says, to remember.

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.

Healing and Honesty
In A Journey into Manhood from the Path of an Idiot, you share with readers your reflections on childhood, family dynamics, and your personal growth. Why was this an important book for you to write?
This book was deeply important to me because I believe it’s vital for young boys and men to understand that making mistakes is part of life—and that it’s okay. Growth comes from acknowledging those mistakes, learning from them, and moving forward with purpose. My own life has faced challenges in every area imaginable, but through accountability and embracing my past, I was able to turn my struggles into stepping stones for success. Sharing this journey offers hope and encouragement to others who might feel trapped by their circumstances, showing them that change is possible and that their past does not define their future.
What was the hardest thing for you to write about?
The most challenging part was opening up about the death of my nephew. My editor suggested I start the book with something compelling that would grab readers’ attention, but I hesitated because I had always hidden that pain. Confronting that loss forced me to face what I had been running from for years. Writing about it was emotionally challenging, but ultimately, it was a necessary step toward healing and honesty—both with myself and my readers.
What is one piece of advice you wish someone had given you when you were younger?
I wish someone had told me not to fear success. Growing up, I found failure easy to accept because no one expected much from me. When success did come, I struggled to believe I deserved it or that I could overcome my mistakes. If I had known that success was attainable and that I was worthy of it, I might have approached life with more confidence and a greater belief in my potential.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your experiences?
I want readers to see that no matter how many mistakes they’ve made, they can still achieve greatness. The key is to look past those errors and recognize the inner strength and goodness within oneself. Everyone has talents and a purpose—they just need to embrace who they are and keep pushing forward, helping themselves and others along the way.

The title of this book could have been written backwards, and it would still have conveyed the same meaning. From The Path of an Idiot to A Journey Discovering Manhood is the story I never thought I’d have the strength or the literacy skills to tell. This book is my truth—born from anger, shaped by confusion and survival, and ending in transformation. I wrote this for the boy I used to be: lost, unloved, and misunderstood. I wrote it for the man I was becoming—reckless, hardened, and trying to find meaning in a world that never gave me a blueprint for manhood. And I wrote it for every person who has ever wondered if redemption is still possible.
Through raw reflection and hard-earned lessons, I open the door to my past from illiteracy, juvenile detention, and gang involvement to the struggles of fatherhood, faith, and forgiveness. This isn’t a polished tale of overnight success. It’s a testimony of stumbling, standing again, and finding purpose on the road I once thought would destroy me.
If you’ve ever felt broken, overlooked, or counted out, I hope this book reminds you: the journey may start in darkness, but it doesn’t have to end there.
This is my journey. These are my lessons. This is Manhood, revealed.

It’s Never Personal: Weaving Psychology, Neuroscience, and Ancient Wisdom Through a 5-Step Process to Finally Let It Go
Vicki Kennedy’s It’s Never Personal is a heartfelt and practical guide to understanding why we take things personally and how to let go of that burden. Through her five-step “Never Personal Process,” she blends neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom into a pathway for real emotional freedom. The book moves between personal stories, client experiences, and clear, accessible explanations of concepts like attachment theory and the mind-body connection. At the end of each chapter, reflective questions invite the reader to dig deeper, making the book part manual, part mirror. It’s not just theory, it’s a lived approach to releasing shame, resentment, and self-criticism, and finding the peace that comes with truly seeing that “it’s never personal.”
What struck me most was the openness and warmth in Kennedy’s writing. She doesn’t hide behind clinical distance. She shows her own struggles, moments of feeling unworthy, rejected, or invisible, and how she worked through them. This made the book feel like a conversation with a trusted friend who also happens to have a lot of professional wisdom. I found myself pausing to think about my own raw spots, the times I’ve rushed to forgive without healing, and how often my mind leaps to negative conclusions without evidence. Her examples, whether about a casual slight or a deep betrayal, hit that sweet spot of being specific enough to feel real, but universal enough to resonate.
I also appreciated how she bridged the gap between emotional healing and spiritual growth without slipping into abstract mysticism. Her tone is grounded and compassionate, and she has a knack for taking big ideas like flow states, shadow work, and generational patterns and making them simple without making them shallow. She’s equally willing to quote neuroscience research and the Tao Te Ching, and she makes both feel relevant. Some passages challenged me to face uncomfortable truths about my own defensiveness and judgment. Others left me feeling lighter, more hopeful. By the time I finished, I could see my own patterns a little more clearly and felt more willing to try her process in real life.
I’d recommend It’s Never Personal to anyone who finds themselves replaying conversations in their head, holding grudges they wish they could drop, or feeling too easily bruised by others’ words and actions. It’s ideal for those already in therapy or on a personal growth journey, but it’s also accessible to someone just beginning to wonder why certain hurts linger. If you’re ready to let go of the weight you’ve been carrying, whether it’s been a few weeks or a few decades, this book offers both the map and the encouragement to take those steps.

Emotional Weight
Feisty is a powerful anthology featuring essays, memoirs, and poetry by over twenty women who each share their personal struggles with shame, oppression, trauma, and the quest for self-worth. How did you decide what themes this collection would encompass?
The themes emerged organically from a single, powerful question. When we opened submissions, we asked: What does it mean to be feisty in a world that wants you silent or small?
The stories that poured in were raw, courageous, and deeply personal. We didn’t impose themes—we listened for them. Patterns naturally emerged around shame, resilience, healing, and reclamation of power. That’s the beauty of the Brave New Voices series: we trust women to tell the stories that matter most, then we build the container around that truth.
What was the most challenging aspect of curating these voices, and what proved most rewarding?
The greatest challenge was holding the emotional weight of these stories with the care they deserved. As both editor and publisher, I felt a profound responsibility to honor each woman’s individual voice while crafting a cohesive, powerful whole that would amplify their collective impact.
But that challenge became the greatest reward. I witnessed transformation—not just on the page, but in the writers themselves. For many contributors, this marked their first time sharing their story publicly. Watching them stand taller, speak louder, and fully own their truth has been one of the most profound honors of my publishing career.
What do you hope readers will carry with them after experiencing Feisty?
Above all, I hope readers feel less alone in their own struggles. There’s extraordinary strength in vulnerability, and these stories serve as a reminder that we’re all navigating complex, layered lives with courage and imperfection.
I want Feisty to be permission—permission to be louder, bolder, and more unapologetically authentic. In a world that profits from our silence and smallness, choosing to be feisty is a radical act.
The Brave New Voices series seems to be building momentum. What’s next?
Absolutely. Brave New Voices has evolved into something much larger than a book series—it’s become a movement. Our next collection is already in development, and while each book tackles a new theme, the heartbeat remains constant: amplifying voices that have been overlooked, silenced, or dismissed by traditional publishing.
Readers can expect more fierce honesty, diverse perspectives, and the kind of storytelling that doesn’t just entertain—it disrupts the status quo and catalyzes real change. We’re proving that when you give marginalized voices the platform they deserve, magic happens.

A Journey Into Manhood From the Path of an Idiot
Carandus Brown’s A Journey into Manhood from the Path of an Idiot is a raw and deeply personal memoir that chronicles one man’s long, often painful climb from childhood confusion to adult accountability. With each chapter framed as a “lesson,” Brown reflects on his life from traumatic events and broken family dynamics to brushes with the law, misguided relationships, and spiritual reckonings. What starts as a candid account of pain and dysfunction slowly morphs into a powerful meditation on growth, faith, and the courage to confront your past. This is a book about how a boy with no clear path to manhood stumbles, fights, learns, and ultimately walks that road anyway.
Reading this book felt like being handed someone’s journal, written with no filter and no concern for appearances. I admired that. Brown’s writing is emotional and gritty, full of hurt and hope in equal measure. He doesn’t try to dress up his experiences. He owns his mistakes, often with heartbreaking honesty, and that kind of vulnerability resonated with me. Some parts were painful to get through, especially the loss of his nephew and the scenes with his father, but those chapters gripped me. It’s not just the storytelling, though. It’s how Brown unpacks each memory, not just to remember it, but to understand what it meant, what it cost, and how it changed him.
There were moments when the writing got a little long-winded. I sometimes wished he’d pulled back just enough to let the reader breathe. But even in those moments, I could feel the sincerity behind every word. And there’s poetry in how he writes, even when he’s angry or confused; there’s rhythm and raw beauty to the way he strings his thoughts together. His lesson on education, how he faked reading as a kid just to survive the shame, hit me in the gut. And the spiritual themes, especially his talks with God, felt real. Not polished. Not preachy. Just real.
This isn’t a polished self-help book or a clinical story of recovery. It’s a firestorm of memory and meaning, one that will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt lost, unloved, or misunderstood. I’d recommend A Journey into Manhood from the Path of an Idiot to young men navigating tough upbringings, to anyone grappling with forgiveness, and to readers who crave stories that bleed truth. Brown may have taken the long way to manhood, but this book proves he got there, and he brought a whole lot of wisdom with him.

LITERARY TITAN
