In SerialThe Shadow Paradigm - Book 1: Project Orb Weaver Sci-fi Adventure Psychological
Gardening, cooking, innovation, preservation, charity events... Madzistrale, Tom and Gabzryel does it all. But when they encounter the mysterious Shiakar Paradigm Society, a clash of paradigms ensues. Although both groups are aiming to make humanity stand stronger, their ideals and methods could not be further apart. Between the trio's optimistic yet naive ideals, and the SPS's tried-and-true surgical methods, determining the answer which methods can better humanity is a struggle that both parties must resolve in their own ways...
Welcome to the 7th revision of my 10+ years ongoing novel trilogy. This revision took out some flawed plot concepts to re-introduce a more down-to-earth, film noir-like ambience, where a battle of wits is what will determine the outcome. It also added instead more in-depth expansion into the lives and mindsets of the characters, especially the heroes (a missing factor in older versions). Third-view limited storytelling was also introduced more prominently over my favoured third-view omnipotent, with each chapters concentrating as much as possible on a single character's point of view instead of head-hopping.
So I shall begin uploading the chapters as I finish them; they're edited as much as I can, but there'll most likely be some typos and mistakes.
As always, I welcome your comments and critiques, and I hope you enjoy reading that story as much as I did creating it!
A parting poem to introduce the story (translated from its original French version):
Credit: Les Mots, Mylene Farmer & Seal
Firmly, the sky writhes
When a mouth begets a death
There, I will give my life to hear you
To tell you the most tender words
When all becomes all alone
I'll break my life for a song
And to lives that stoop to notice mine
I know I will say goodbye
But a fraction of this life
I would give anything, anytime
The universe has its mysteries
Words are our lives
You could kill a life with words
Soul, how would it feel?
If our lives are so fragile
Words are mysteries
Words of feelings
Words of love, a temple
If one swept the world away
One could touch the universe
I will tell you how the sun rose high
We could with a word become one
And for all those words that hurts us
There are those that touches us
Which illuminates, touches the infinity
Even if nothingness exists
For a fraction on this life
We will give anything, anytime
The universe has its mysteries
Words are our lives
We could kill a life with words
Soul, how would it feel?
If our lives are so fragile
Words are mysteries
Words of feelings
Words of love, a temple

The Atropos Schema
Book 1 is now complete! NOTE: I'm adding the "Traumatising Content" tag because important characters are mind-controlled in this story. If you dislike reading about mind control, then this story is not for you. Summary: Tutorials. Monster invasions. Fantasy towns in a post-apocalyptic world. Follow Jarek Novak as he fights for survival with the “help” of his personal A.I. “To recap,” I said, trying to ignore my growing headache. “I have a mind-controlling parasite in my brain. The Atropos Schema is facilitating the destruction of my world as I know it, and if it discovers this parasite, then I’m as good as dead. Currently, my world is being overrun by monsters and soon other sapient species will fight for control over my world—unless they already control my world from the shadows.” Samantha said.

The Lads from Loch Allen
A Highland Scots urban fantasy.Meet Plan Thurisaz: Miss Alice Liddell, an archaeology student from London who happens to possess a potential about which she does not yet know - but someone, somewhere, has noticed it.Yanked straight out of the scene of her own violent death, she's just become that someone's last desperate shot at prising survival from the jaws of absolute destruction, she doesn't know what's going on with this twenty years ago that thinks it's a hundred years ago despite doing cyberpunk, she'd quite like off this wild ride right now please, and it's probably very very fortunate that she fell straight into the laps of a pair of crofter's lads from the far northwest of the wilder, weirder, more dangerous, downright stranger Scotland that she's awakened in.Now she's stuck in a world where folk stories are real, the British Empire never fell, the Highland Clearances turned into a centuries-long low-level war, the cold war was a three-way affair, there are capital-P Powers calling the shots, and she's about to find out that the rabbit hole into which she's been blown by a car-bomb goes one hell of a long way down indeed...Updates on the first and third Saturday of each month.

Earth Ravaged: The Alliance Chronicles Book 1
Originally published on Amazon in 2013, now published here as a serial for the free enjoyment of all. Book 3 to come later this year. This one could also stand a complete re-write with the knowledge and skill I've developed in the interim, and I may do so once I have pushed out chapters for the third book in the series. In the not too distant future, a group of seven people will set out on a mission of exploration to a nearby star system. Their destination is the Tau Ceti system, one of ten planned destinations as part of a new privately-funded space programme, involving many countries across the Earth. However, old problems still exist, and while they make their successful launch, they have no idea what begins to take place at home, what they will face on their journey, and who decides to pay Earth a visit while they are gone.
