An endangered “Star” they once called the United States of America is waning. Will it go extinct?
Posted: 18-Aug-2025
Nearly 250 years have rolled by since America came into existence on 4th July, 1776. And nearly 75 years since it became the
world’s preeminent nation.
It needs no introduction, and everywhere in the world we’ve been witnessing its rise to glory and reign in preeminence.
However, along the way, forces derailed the ideals that once united it. Now, Senators and Congressmen, greedy for personal gain and power, by putting themselves first, threaten to tear down its democratic structure. Kindness has evaporated. The result? The once famous “Star” is slowly inching to a painful death!

Reason, to Truth, to Meaning. How to find meaning and purpose in life and redeem yourself from a worthless existence
Posted: 18-Aug-2025
We need to rewind and start when we were babies. If you remember, as babies, we observed people,
objects and life in motion around us.
The reasoning process began innately: we tried to figure out how the people and objects we saw kept life ticking. As we grew up, we learned to differentiate between true and false; good and bad. Finally, when we became adults, we sought after meaning: do I have a meaningful role in life? Does it matter that I exist? If I suddenly disappear, will anyone ever notice or miss me?
This book discusses the philosophy of meaning. Genuine meaning and purpose are essential for existence. If you don’t have it, chances are that you’re depressed and vulnerable to despair.
But all is not lost! If you don’t have meaning and purpose yet, you can create it! Let this book comfort, help and show you how!

A twice-told fairy tale combining Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Andrew Yang’s Fairer-than-a-Fairy, yet truly new!
Posted: 11-Aug-2025
This story is a delightful hybrid,
born from the fusion of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream and Andrew Lang’s Fairer-than-a-Fairy
(see the Yellow Fairy Book). Yet it has a unique identity, different from both its parents thanks to the author’s personal touches
and imaginative tweaks.
While Fairer-than-a-Fairy was the starting point, it leans more toward A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Suitable for kids under eighteen and older kids (i.e. grown-ups) who haven’t entirely lost interest in fairy tales!

Could Newton’s three laws of motion have flaws and limitations? Let's reexamine them alongside the author to discover potential flaws.
Posted: 27-Jul-2025
Physicist or a lover of physics? Then
get prepared to hear something shocking you always believed was true, but this author challenges and refutes with examples and
walkthroughs.
And it’s not quantum mechanics or the theory of relativity that’s being questioned: what is under attack is Newton’s age-old three laws of motion!
We just believed whatever our physics teachers taught us was universally valid and correct. Maybe, back then, as new students to the subject, we were struggling to understand the concepts, and possibly scared of the consequences of digressing too far from the main content of our courses, so we weren’t ready to ask questions an expert who has mastered the subject can.
That’s where this book comes in. The author firmly believes that anything scientific we learned blindly is likely to contain flaws. Our teachers never warned us about the discrepancies, exceptions, and the gray areas of physics that exist, thus inadvertently “blinding” us from examining unsettling possibilities.
To find the flaws we missed, we need to take off the blinders our teachers put over our eyes and take a fresh look at the concerned area as though we are first time, advanced level students, without any preconceived notions to cloud our thinking.
Read this book to join the reader on a journey of such fascinating discoveries.

A humble, friendly, direct invitation to discover the God of the Bible by examining its claims
Posted: 27-Jul-2025
Argue it whatever way you want, but if
you dispassionately go into historical facts, you’ll find the grand old book (i.e. the Bible) is true. And it cannot be silenced.
It continues to speak, even after centuries of censorship, burning, banning, and desecration—all of which have failed miserably. Why is this? Right-thinking minds will surely acknowledge that the Bible’s unconquerable nature points to something profound that’s hidden, prompting inquiring minds to come forward and discover with honesty.
Will you accept this friendly invitation to discover the God of the Bible by examining its claims personally alongside the author rather than being bound by hearsay and the opinions of others?
And you can walk away at any time if you aren’t convinced…

Remembering World War II (1939-1945), and some important lessons learned from it.
Posted: 22-Jul-2025
World War II (WWII) remains the bloodiest and most costly in the history of humanity. It involved thirty countries and took the lives of between
70 and 85 million people. It left behind unforgettable scars of the Holocaust and millions of displaced people as refugees.
It cast a pall of gloom over the world, which took years for us to forget. And finally, it left one clear message behind for
posterity: future generations must avoid a war on this scale at all costs!
Let’s relive the lessons we learned by reading this book.

If you haven’t realized it yet, time is our most precious personal asset because it’s the only one that’s limited. Ensure you spend it well, making time to do what you enjoy most before it’s gone forever!
Posted: 21-Jul-2025
Among money, property, goods, and time, which do you consider is
life’s most precious asset, and why? If you ponder it for a while, you’ll realize it is
time because it’s time to live that’s limited,
while (depending on your fortunes), you may own more or less of the others in the future.
And in passing, suppose you had tons of the others, but no time to enjoy them? Wouldn’t that be tragic?
If you haven’t already, you need to sit down quietly and ask yourself questions like “Do I get quality sleep?”; “Sufficient time to spend on family, kids, and relationships?”; “Time for entertainment and exercise?”; “Time for planning finances and savings?”; “Time for quality vacations?”; “A plan (you really believe will work) for items on your bucket list?”, and similar ones.
If your answer is “No,” to any of the above, you really have a problem that you may want to fix immediately, lest life’s dreams slip out of your hands… forever! And you die unfulfilled.
You cannot manufacture time, but you can surely free up and reassign the time you spend on routine tasks like paying bills, home cleaning and maintenance, searching for jobs, etc. that don’t necessarily have to be done by you (i.e. somebody or something else can do it for you) and automating them.
Shall we see how we can up the quality of life by embracing automation (and end the drudgery of life)?

Likely a first—Sherlock Holmes vs. the Occult
Posted: 19-Jul-2025
This story begins in Dahshoor, Egypt. A UNESCO World Heritage site today,
Dahshoor is home to the famed ancient Egyptian pyramids and necropolises.
Sir Henry, the fifth Earl of Convarran and three of his English associates, once conducted an archaeological dig there. But the purpose
wasn’t merely academic—while there, they stole some forbidden, expensive, charmed artifacts and objects used by the ancient Egyptian
Pharaohs in worshipping their gods, and secretly brought them back to England, thus inviting the deadly wrath of not only some
Egyptian radicals who guarded them but worse, of the wicked, evil spirit associated with the stolen artifacts aka “The Black Pharaoh.”
Retribution happens in England. Soon after returning to England, all four members involved die gruesome deaths at the hands of the Egyptian radicals and/or the Black Pharaoh.
Read this book to enjoy a gripping, macabre Sherlock Holmes story, and possibly the first of a kind in which the occult challenge/attack Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes in “Shorts”: Five great short stories, each solved in about 30 pages!
Posted: 07-Jul-2025
Sherlock Holmes (and his sidekick, Dr Watson) keeps rolling on.
Nearly 140 years after his first public appearance in 1887, and long after
Doyle stopped writing about him, he’s unstoppable!
His fans keep moving him up with the times. By now, they’ve created second-generation detectives who follow his methods, and imported him into dimensions surely Doyle wouldn’t have even dreamed of (like angels and the celestial world, confrontation with occult practitioners, etc.) And as we move on in time, what more can we expect? Possibly themes like time travel, interstellar crime, robot-assisted crime investigation, unraveling criminals causing dystopian tragedies, and more...? Whatever the new themes, one thing is certain: Sherlock Holmes will continue into the foreseeable future. He refuses to die!
So, what does this collection offer? Five great Holmes short stories, each neatly solved in about 30 pages!
If you are the impatient kind of reader, look no further, here’s instant gratification for you!

Sad, but true—masculinity is under attack after feminism’s rise! For once, it is men who may need help—to adapt to masculinity redefinitions safely
Posted: 17-Jun-2025
Are you a male? Or a concerned female about the men in your life? Then you need to pay careful attention to this post.
This book examines the crisis precipitated by the third wave of feminism that started in the 90s—this most powerful and impactful wave swept society causing radical shifts in the man-woman dynamic of our times. Women are now showing their true worth, since they are greatly empowered, have equal rights, and enjoy independence. Among other achievements, they have risen to positions of power, and prominence, thus, humbling/relegating arrogant, brutish, and practically worthless men!
Both men and women have to leave their traditional roles behind and accept redefined ones.
This book discusses the crisis. This is the first time, when men undergoing change will be more vulnerable than women to detrimental outcomes—mainly suicides and mental health issues, if proper care isn’t planned/taken. Men will find it harder to change than women because they’ve been molded according to the old blueprint of manhood—sole family breadwinner, tough yet sensitive leader, and unwavering stoic. They need help to change, but the ingrained “tough,” and “stoic” qualities will effectively prevent them from accepting the help they need to change.
Men must cast off their armor of toughness and stoicism and take help to embrace the change.
