The Little Town That Saw It All

It’s a very small town with a population of just under 100, named Crossroads, set in the most northeasterly county in Kansas. It is the late 1940s, and the area’s most successful farmer is hit with a heartrending, life-changing personal tragedy. He turns to God, his preacher, and ultimately a fortune teller for answers. She turns out to be more than a fortune teller.

What follows are unexpected romances, ties to terrorists in Peru, the complexity of small-town politics, the murder of one of the town’s most unpopular citizens, and a series of mysteries, as a town with a utopian view of itself gradually sees that myth explode. It is a gripping, suspenseful, and powerful tale with a completely unexpected ending.

The strange series of events that unfolds in this little burg over a period of about two years calls into question the notion that rural Americans are less likely to commit crimes and are more patriotic, more neighborly, and more likely to adhere to and abide by Christian morals and values, than folks in the cities.

Though its farmers and small-town residents might deny it, Crossroads becomes the little town that saw it all.

Fatal Omens

The European “war to end all wars” was a catastrophe decades in the making. The prophetic voices of alienated writers and artists in Central Europe were at the turn of the twentieth century divining the end of modernity while seeking cultural and spiritual renewal. Cracks in the optimistic liberal order of the European Age were coming apart and ceding to darker forces.

Against this backdrop, historical novelist Stephen Almássy foregrounds the lives of Archduke Charles of Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Croatia and Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma. Their marriage before the Great War culminates during the war when they become the last Emperor and Empress of Austria-Hungary under the Habsburg scepter. The old Central European dynasty, the last outpost in Europe of the imperium sacrum, falls on the day, November eleventh, 1918, when the war comes to an uncertain end.

Burnt Cove

When Rose O’Reilly White, a respected member of the small-town Deer Isle, Maine, community, died at age 97, she left many secrets, some monstrous and others magical, including her first love, a young woman who died in a tragic fire in 1942. This woman was her teacher; Rose was a teenager. Another secret was her later long involvement with an African-American woman. A third was her poisoning and killing a Catholic priest of many years ago after Rose learned he was a serial pedophile and wanted to prevent him from abusing other victims.

Rose’s husband, Bill, another respected member of the Deer Isle community, knew and accepted all this. But unlike others who die leaving secrets, Rose left a key to open them, and her filmmaker son Jack brings them to light as he sets out to produce a documentary of her life—an endeavor that reunites him with his first love, with whom he had a daughter unbeknownst to him until they are together again.

A novel unlike any other, Burnt Cove artfully blends horror, supernatural, dark fantasy, time travel, love, death, and mystical resurrection.

Falling

Feelings are what make us alive; experiencing fear or anger is normal. Having some sad moments or even hate is so human, but love is the most powerful thing. I believe with love we can change lives, and we could have a meaningful life. Love makes challenges easier and opens doors and gives us power to face hard moments and bad complicated conspiracies.

To be honest, I love love; just the idea makes me thankful. That’s why I like to share it and talk about it with trust and hope. And what makes it exciting for me is when we find it in the strangest moment, and just the two persons involved feel it logically, like they were waiting for it.

Maybe my story is fiction, but the feelings are real.

Inheritance of Silence

Silence has a way of shaping us. It can wound, conceal, and suffocate—but it can also become the spark that ignites transformation.

Inheritance of Silence is not just a novel; it’s an invitation to step into the fragile spaces where grief collides with strength and where loss becomes the unexpected teacher of resilience.

John Erik Dunnam weaves a narrative that is as unflinching as it is luminous, pulling readers into a world where identity is reclaimed piece by piece, and survival is not just about enduring but about awakening.

At its heart, this is a story of confronting the shadows we inherit—whether from family, circumstance, or silence itself—and choosing, against all odds, to carve out light.

For anyone who has carried the weight of unspoken pain, who has struggled to be heard in a world that prefers quiet compliance, this book resonates as both a mirror and a beacon.

Inheritance of Silence promises not only to captivate but also to leave you changed—stirred, challenged, and inspired to find your own voice in the echoes.

Meghan and Martin Break the Rules

This novel, like the earlier one, Meghan and Beth discover, It’s a Men’s World, the underlying theme that women are people. People who often are not allowed to oversee their own sexuality.

Nature has programmed humans’ life force toward reproduction, although that force can be directed toward many goals, good or bad for society.

Gender expectations can even lead to ignoring the presence of women in the street, in meetings, and in organizational plans.

Cultural definitions are often unconscious, may facilitate, but often interfere with relationships between men and women. These unconscious gender prescriptions show up early in the novel as Meghan and Martin return from their honeymoon and set up their apartment. Gender issues show up at work in sexism. Racism intertwines with sexism in the book.

The Prophet of Dust

Arik Delvin never asked to be a prophet. A jaded conman surviving among ruins and superstition in the post-apocalyptic Wastes, he earns his keep by spinning false miracles for desperate souls. But when his lies accidentally come true, the Wastes begin to whisper his name. Now, hunted by zealots, Hollowed wanderers, and a power older than faith itself, Arik must decide whether he’s been chosen… or cursed.

Beside him stands Mira, a silver-eyed survivor of rebellion burdened by guilt and faith; Nyra, a scarred fighter who once tried to burn prophecy out of the world; and Kevin, a goat far cleverer than he has any right to be. Together they cross a dying land where the sky bleeds ash, the dead still trade tea, and every step threatens to unravel what’s left of the Thread, the force holding everything together.

A thrilling blend of grim imagination and quick wit, The Prophet of Dust is a haunting tale of belief, betrayal, and survival in a world that has forgotten what it means to be saved.

One and the Other

It is always about family. The lies, the deceit, the betrayal, and the undying love. How often do we remember that everything we find doing is for our benefit and not that of another? What we are, or may became, is shaped by the hands of those around us.

There is no truth until ‘what is’, is known. And the lie? It is the truth until ‘what is’, is known.

Who is to be blamed, the one who gives or the one who takes? If there is none to give, who will take? And if there is none to take, who will give? This is the balance, the same we plaudit but are anguished by. Who then is to blame, when all play their parts to sustain this balance?

And the mind turns again like a screw. There is only one way, one choice, and one reality. In the end, it is between the one and the other.
