Something bigger is calling...🌠

He thought it was just a job.

But some companies don’t run on ambition or money, they run on something far more powerful.

Heir of the Cosmos is the story of a man caught between what he knows and what he's becoming. It's a journey across hidden truths, ancient power, and the kind of decisions that ripple across galaxies.

There’s action. There’s betrayal. There’s romance.

And at the center of it all?

This book got under my skin in the best and most unsettling way. Carnage in D Minor is not just a psychological thriller. It is a character study of Leeza, a Black piano prodigy turned neurosurgical clinician and veteran, trying to survive PTSD, addi ...more
