THE BLACK BOOK

Part One of the Booklord Adventures Series

Something is about to spiral the Quentin children into a mysterious world of daring and adventure, and it's not just a book, for a smoldering mystery lies within the pages of this ancient scroll!
One that has profound implications for the world at large if placed in the wrong hands, and harbors the secrets of an old man whose chance rescue could change a young boy's life forever.

“Good concept, interesting plot, fast-paced reading, and satisfying ending. I especially love the historical places and different dialects, which means the author did his research well.”
-    BooksAreMagic

“The kind of book you read when you’re stuck at home on a rainy day. Makes one feel like a kid again!”
-    Maedan

“An awesome read! Been a long time since I enjoyed an adventure fantasy novel this much. The historic events and peoples are thoroughly researched and expressed, too.”
-    Santosh, India

 

“Story has an intriguing premise. It’s obvious that the author really researched the different time periods and events in history that were parts of the story. From just the descriptions or actually using the dialect of the time, it really made it not only interesting but also helped to make it feel like the children were really in those periods. It also really seems to capture the way that children and teens think and react to things. Matthew and Stephanie are great siblings together and show how much they care for each other and what they’ll do for each other through all of their harrowing circumstances. Even Nora, the proud self-centered high-schooler, shows that she can think of others and do things that aren’t just going to benefit herself.”

-    F. Angel, U.S.A.

“Great action and adventure book with surprising twist! People of all ages would enjoy this book. It takes the reader back to high school.”
-    Christie Wimer

“I enjoyed the premise of kids traveling through various important historical events and interacting with key players in those events. A lot of characters are also set apart by their race or nationality, which I don’t often encounter in children’s literature.”
-    Tom Skeater

THE SLAVE MAKERS

Part Three of the Booklord Adventures Series

Against him? An unsteady alliance of former enemies: the Booklords and souls of the departed Bookmakers, alongside our familiar characters from Sleepy Lake, as well as a whiff of new faces.

Thriller/Horror

The Weeping Girl Front Cover.jpg

THE WEEPING GIRL

Germany, 1946. The war has ended, but the shadows it left behind have not.
Former Nazi soldiers are being found dead—bodies twisted, marked by wounds no blade could explain. Survivors whisper of a pale figure in a torn dress, her weeping echoing through the ruins before each death.
Investigator Thomas Keller clings to reason, convinced the killings are born of human hands. But the closer he comes to the truth, the more he realizes some grief refuses to rest.


“Chilling, poignant, and unforgettable. This isn’t just a ghost story — it’s a reckoning with history. The Weeping Girl haunted me long after I closed the final page.”
— Ikechukwu Austin, Physiotherapist

“Few novels dare to capture the horrors of our past in such an unflinching yet poetic way. The ghost of the girl feels real — a presence that demands remembrance.”
— Dr. Klaus Reinhardt, Historian

“This book made me weep. It gave voice to the silenced children of the Holocaust in a way that feels sacred and necessary. Both terrifying and healing.”
— Yael Ben-Hur, Author of Echoes of Silenc

Collections

COUNTING VOTES & OTHER STORIES

COUNTING Votes and Other Stories is a collection that lingers in the spaces where ordinary lives brush against extraordinary shadows—where grief lingers on a river’s edge, where fear climbs into the back seat of a late-night drive, where ballots promise hope but deliver betrayal.
These stories move from villages torn apart by war to cities overwhelmed by rain, traffic, and corruption. A boy in Kandahar learns that a simple smile can be more powerful than guns and bombs. A daughter scattering her mother’s ashes is haunted by a voice she thought she had lost forever. A Lagos driver takes one last ride through storm and fear, only to realize that courage itself is being tested. A vote cast in hope becomes a weapon in the hands of those in power. Each story explores what it means to endure when survival requires compromise, when dignity teeters on the edge of despair, and when even silence can carry weight.
Raw, intimate, and resonant, Counting Votes and Other Stories reflects the quiet battles we all face, revealing not only the cracks in our world but also the delicate, luminous threads that keep us human.
This collection is not only about conflict, but also about the fragile strength that emerges from it. It asks how we keep going when the world conspires to break us—and what hope might look like in the darkest of nights.


"As a student of cultural studies, I found these stories fascinating. They show Nigeria not only through politics, but through everyday life. I liked how humor sits beside tragedy—it feels real, not staged. This book opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know much about."
— Jonas Müller, 23, Berlin 

"Counting Votes and Other Stories is more than fiction—it is a study in human systems. The title story, with its delicate balance of politics and personal struggle, mirrors the fragile machinery of democracy. Each tale has undertones of sociology, philosophy, and the lived anxieties of ordinary people. A rich text for both casual readers and serious thinkers." 

— Dr. Chidi Nwankwo, Lecturer at University of Lagos

"The book reminded me of post-war stories from my youth. Hardship, yes, but also kindness in small gestures. I especially liked the quiet strength in the characters. Even far away in Japan, I felt I understood their spirit."
— Mr. Hiroshi Tanaka, 67, Tokyo
