"She severed her raven locks, concealed her feminine form—yet could not hide her dazzling brilliance. A forged eunuch's decree hurled her into the palace's bone-devouring depths. When the Crown Prince's all-seeing gaze pinned her in place, she knew: in this lethal game of gender and power, to lose was death... but to win might be far worse."

"Sever him at once! Unless you wish to witness his death before your very eyes—from you, in the year 2033."

When Lin Xiaxia received this bizarre text, she was nestled with her boyfriend Xu Yuan on the sofa. She scoffed, until her phone abruptly initiated a video call—the woman on the screen was her spitting image, save for a scar above her eye.

"Listen here, you fool," her future self said icily, "Every choice you make now is leading to his demise."

—Yet, as Lin Xiaxia tried to escape fate's grasp, she discovered that the most terrifying thing wasn't the paradox of time, but that her future self seemed to have fallen for the very man she was supposed to "let go"…

Vampires used to rule the world from the shadows. They were powerful enough to manipulate countries from within their parliaments or ministries and humans were terrified of them. One of the original vampires had a daughter, a young girl born with a Celtic symbol on her back, the symbol of immortality. It was supposed to make her the leader of the vampires from all over the world but there was a problem: she couldn't kill humans or drink their blood. How could she be the leader when it was physically impossible for her to be a true vampire?

In a world divided by war, peace is the greatest temptation-and the most dangerous risk.

Laela, a defiant elf of the forest kingdom Baequinnanea, has spent her life fighting for her people's survival. Agile, cunning, and fiercely loyal, she knows the cost of war all too well. When she's chosen to represent her kingdom in a precarious peace treaty, she's thrust into an unfamiliar neutral city-and into the company of her sworn enemy.

Thosar, the cold and calculating crown prince of the powerful elven empire Banniurdrenn, sees the treaty as a political game. To him, Laela is little more than a naive wildling, out of her depth and beneath his notice. But as the two are forced to work together in this fragile truce, their differences spark more than animosity.

Amid shadowy betrayals and hidden agendas, Laela and Thosar must navigate a web of lies-and their growing connection. But with centuries of hatred between their people, can they truly build peace? Or will their fragile bond shatter under the weight of duty, loyalty, and the dark temptations of power?

Two enemies. One chance for peace. And a choice that could change their world forever.

I will post links to my readings from the first few chapters of my recent novel, Hire Lernin’: An Idealist’s Quest Through the Realm of for-Profit Education. The novel involves the bittersweet journey of a young, idealistic, naïve attorney who takes on the role of academic dean at a for-profit business school in New York City in the late 1980s knowing very little about the industry. Unable to accept the way things are, he immediately launches into a personal quest to change lives for the better in an environment where only the bottom-line matters. Hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit quickly propel him to professional success, but at a deep personal cost in the process as he learns critical life-altering lessons about himself, about leadership, about for-profit and not-for-profit higher education, and about love.

The novel itself is available in eBook and paperback versions from most book sellers. And I recently released audiobook versions of both the original English version and my Spanish translation that are also widely available. These are cold, unedited readings and are not part of the actual audiobooks now available. I recorded these for fun and posted them to my YouTube channel in the past and am providing links here. They serve an interesting contrast to the actual audiobook version. (You can also listen to brief previews from my various audiobooks at the following link: Audible.)

I hope you will enjoy these simple chapter readings as much as I did recording them.

You can hear an unabridged reading of the first two chapters by clicking HERE.

Paulo is about to leave everything behind.After ten years in a stable job and a marriage that has come to an end, he receives an opportunity that seems tailor-made: a remote job, with the freedom to start over far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Without hesitation, he embraces the chance to move to Chasses, an isolated refuge deep in the forest, where he hopes to find peace, reconnect with himself, and discover a new meaning in life.

But the change isn't just geographical. As Paulo says goodbye to the apartment he shared with his ex-husband, painful memories and questions about his identity resurface. Who is he, beyond a man who likes horror books, games, and solitude? Is this search for isolation merely an escape — or the true fresh start he’s always needed?

Amidst lush landscapes, deep silences, and the shadows of the past, Paulo will have to confront his inner ghosts to find out whether Chasses will become his home... or just another stop in a journey with no easy answers.

A story about new beginnings, self-discovery, and the courage to move forward — even when the path is uncertain.
