A former cop who was forced to retire early after shooting a young man during a convenience store holdup, Jobz has since resigned himself to wasting away his days in a four-by-four cubicle inside an office space that’s more boring than watching the paint dry.
However, when his overbearing boss and best friend calls him in on a job that the Albany Police Department is heading up, Jobz has a chance to get out of the office for a while. But what he doesn’t realize is that he’s about to come face to face with a serial killer who embalms his victims alive.

Brokenness Becomes Beautiful: Inspiring Pieces of Poetry
Brokenness Becomes Beautiful is a raw, honest, and deeply human poetry collection by Terence Ang, an award-winning Singaporean author whose life changed after a stroke left him with aphasia, reshaping his voice and creative journey through struggle, perseverance, and self-reflection.
These poems were born out of searching — through questioning, reflection, and the difficult process of learning to live with change. Terence explores how moments of fracture can become places where truth, healing, strength, and transformation begin.
Moving through themes of self-discovery, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-love, self-healing, self-care, self-growth, and self-empowerment, Brokenness Becomes Beautiful creates a compassionate space where vulnerability is honoured, honesty becomes strength, and becoming is recognised as its own kind of beauty.
At the heart of the collection is also a story of voice. Living with aphasia changed the way Terence communicates, but it did not silence what he wanted to say. Through poetry, he found another way to express thoughts, emotions, frustrations, hopes, and possibilities beyond spoken words.
Since its release in 2026, Brokenness Becomes Beautiful has reached international literary audiences, with appearances at the American Library Association Annual Conference 2026 in Chicago, the 15th Annual New York City Poetry Festival, and the International Dublin Writers Festival 2026. These appearances brought Terence’s story of stroke, aphasia, resilience, and reclaiming voice to wider audiences.
The collection has also received meaningful praise from Debra Meyerson and Steve Zuckerman, co-authors of Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke and Co-Founders and Co-Chairs of Stroke Onward, who wrote:
“Thank you, Terence, for writing this book. You so beautifully capture the experience of millions of stroke survivors living with aphasia – frustration, opportunity, hope, beauty and so much more. Such powerful impact by not letting aphasia silence your voice.”
Gentle yet powerful, this is a collection for anyone who has ever felt wounded, lost, changed, or uncertain about what comes next, yet continues to move forward. It reminds us that brokenness does not have to be the end of the story; within the cracks, deeper understanding, strength, and unexpected beauty can emerge.
Brokenness Becomes Beautiful is ultimately a celebration of the courage to keep becoming — and a reminder that even in brokenness, something beautiful may already be taking shape. $0.99 on Kindle.

When Success Becomes the Problem
Education is not failing. It is succeeding at the wrong thing.
For decades, modern education has defined success through performance. Grades, rankings, standardized assessments, and credentials have become the dominant measures of achievement. Students are trained to meet expectations, optimize outcomes, and compete effectively.
And they do.
But beneath that success, something is breaking.
Anxiety has become a baseline state. Burnout appears earlier and more often. Meaning feels increasingly fragile. Students learn to perform without integrating, to achieve without inhabiting, to adapt without understanding.
This is not a generational weakness.
It is a structural design flaw.
In When Success Becomes the Problem, this book traces how standardization became dominant, how performance replaced understanding, and why educational reforms repeatedly fail when assessment and purpose remain unchanged. It reveals why wellbeing initiatives backfire, why comparison distorts development, and why systems always revert unless success itself is redefined.
Moving beyond critique, the book offers a rigorous reimagining of education built around human capacity, discernment, integration, and readiness rather than speed, ranking, and control.
It is not a call for softer education.
It is an argument for deeper rigor.
If education continues to measure the wrong thing, it will continue to produce fragmentation while appearing successful.
If we change what counts, everything else can change.
The question is no longer whether reform is needed.
The question is whether we are willing to redefine success. $0.99 on Kindle.

Shadow Operative
He was sent to kill one man on top of the Eiffel Tower. The mission is the last thing that goes according to plan.
Roman Thomaas has no country and no leash. Korvathia was erased from the map by other people’s wars, and ever since he has worked freelance: a suppressed pistol, an AI assistant named MIRA, and a reputation that keeps the contracts coming. Tonight’s target is selling an artifact to buyers who flew in from three governments. Roman lines up the shot. Then lightning strikes the relic, an impossible light floods the platform, and the world simply ends beneath his feet.
He wakes on Ardor. Three moons. A red sky. Breathable air that is not from Earth. And a translucent blue panel that greets him like a returning customer:
WELCOME TO ARDOR, TRAVELER.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE LATE ARRIVALS SERIES COMES A NEW PROGRESSION LITRPG WHERE THE MYSTERY HITS AS HARD AS THE MONSTERS.
The System calls him routine. One of millions of Travelers logged every year, assigned a class, awarded experience for the kill, handed a title and a tutorial. Roman almost believes it, until a second message arrives from something the interface itself cannot name: You were expected. You are a late arrival.
He is not the only one who came through. Four others fell with him, professionals every one: an intelligence broker who reads a room the way Roman reads a rifle, a decorated soldier down to her last irreplaceable rounds, and a weapon in the shape of a woman who was never taught anything but the work. Building a crew is the only math that keeps them alive past the first night in a forest that treats new arrivals as a menu.
But the deeper Roman goes, the worse the picture gets. His blood carries a dormant Precursor bloodline that is now waking one night at a time, on a countdown he cannot pause. When it finishes, he becomes something the oldest powers on this world have been waiting centuries to collect, and being the one they have waited for is not a blessing. It is a bounty.
Two worlds are hunting him. He has three people, a shrinking box of ammunition, and a clock.
A crime broker back home wants his contract closed. An intelligence agency wants to know whether the door swings both ways. A monstrous marketplace has already put a price on his living body. And a four-hundred-year-old order of researchers has crossed a continent just to watch what he turns into. Everyone is keeping a schedule on Roman. None of them mean him any kindness.
To survive, Roman has to do what he has always done best: read the room, count the exits, and make sure that when it goes loud, he is not the one still standing in the open. But skill only buys the first ten seconds. After that it comes down to levels, and the level that matters most is the one ticking up inside him while he sleeps.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Portal fantasy and isekai with a hard, grounded edge
• LitRPG and progression fantasy with real stats, skills, and a System with an agenda
• 18+ readers only $0.99 on Kindle.
Dissolving Overthinking: Stop Overthinking, Calm Your Mind and Find Inner Freedom, Second Edition
You look successful on the outside. So why does your mind never switch off?
You replay conversations. You overanalyse decisions. You worry about what people think. You set impossibly high standards for yourself, yet no achievement ever feels like enough.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just relax?” you’re not alone.
The problem isn’t that you’re broken.
The problem is that you’ve been taught to fight your mind instead of understanding it.
In Dissolving Overthinking, former Google and Uber employee turned coach Alex Østergaard offers a refreshing alternative to traditional self-help. Instead of teaching you how to control your thoughts, he shows you why overthinking exists in the first place and how lasting freedom comes from increasing your capacity to feel, not your ability to think.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness and hundreds of coaching conversations, this book will help you:
• Stop overthinking without forcing yourself to “think positively”
• Break free from people-pleasing, perfectionism and the need for external validation
• Understand what your anxious thoughts are actually trying to protect you from
• Feel difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them
• Build genuine self-trust so you can make decisions with more clarity and confidence
• Find peace without losing your ambition
This isn’t another book full of productivity hacks or mindset tricks.
It’s a different way of understanding yourself.
One that helps you stop fighting your mind, reconnect with who you really are, and experience the freedom you’ve been searching for all along.
If you’re exhausted from trying to think your way to peace, Dissolving Overthinking will show you another path. $0.99 on Kindle.
