Indie Voices: Authors & Books discussion

I have been writing books across three genres, all involving mystery, international conspiracies, and evil people since 2020.

My books in my first series, The Kirby Calloway Novels are: Spies Like Us, The Zurich Conspiracy, Commander Calloway, and the Santorini Event. Then I wrote two books that could be the genesis for new series, including Dark Angel and Forbidden Island. Following that, I wrote a new series which features the protagonist, a young former US Marine, Bradley Foster. These books include Hot Springs, The Creole Crucible, and The Consigliere.

I write where truth burns, where silence hides, and where memory trembles before the machine. My words are not comfort—they’re confrontation. From The Great Moon Hoax, which exposed the birth of fake news, to Erasing the Past, Shaping the Future, which dissects how civilizations rewrite truth from Pharaohs to algorithms—I build bridges between history, technology, and the human wound.

In WOMAN: The Rite of Fire (The Shakti Protocol), I explore the sacred rebellion of feminine power in an age of data and gods. How to Waste Your Time — The Wild King Is Roaring is my refusal to let the clock own the soul. Flicker Then Vanish and Algorithm of One tear through loneliness, love, and the digital mirage of the self. Binary Temptation stares into the erotic tension between flesh and code, while The Whispering Pines of Pithoragarh returns home—to folklore, fear, and Himalayan silence.

Every book is a fragment of rebellion, a code of remembrance.
I am not here to teach—I am here to ignite.

📖 Read the fire. Burn the illusion.

I write where ordinary rooms go wrong—where a neon VACANCY lies, a chair appears between blinks, and a house listens with the patience of old timber.
JULIA was my debut a year ago. 705 came next—the motel that remembers you. Now I’m building MADISON, a family story that curdles quietly in a coastal Maine house that won’t sleep.

I don’t chase jump scares. I tighten the silence. I let the light flicker once, then twice, and ask what you remember when it stops.

Recent milestone: our latest Goodreads giveaway was added by 1,475 unique readers—proof that quiet dread travels.

Are you a fan of Terry Pratchett? or UK Carry On films?
Do you like reading a book as if you were having a conversation in a pub or restaurant with a mate who is relating stories of his past?
Then my book The Road to 'L' will be your sort of book to read.
Its a prequal to my other two biographical books of my journey to find my own piece of El Dorado, now i am in the twilight of my life

I read your blurb Tony levy and think your book The Road to L is like antique gold waiting to be polished.
Example: not "I tried to write in the style of", but "I write in the style of".

Blurbs must engage the reader quickly. Love to read, review, finesse, etc if you want.

Reading is one of my passions and I just published my first novel, Valor of the Storm. While the book is fiction, several themes have been inspired by experiences during my travels in Europe, Africa and Asia, adding a touch of authenticity to the themes in my work.

I hold a Master's degree in psychology and have several Information Technology qualifications.
