In August 1914, three weeks after Britain entered the First World War, a Canadian veterinarian on his way to the front bought an orphaned bear cub from a trapper at a railway stop in northern Ontario. He paid twenty dollars. He named her after the city he had just left. Four years later a boy met her at the London Zoo, borrowed her name for a stuffed toy he already owned, and gave the toy a surname he had taken from a swan. Everything in that sentence is a substitution. The bear was named for a city she never saw. The toy was named for a bear it did not resemble.

When sixteen-year-old Callum Vale dies, his family is left inside a silence no parent should have to carry. In the long year between his death and the opening of the inquest, his mother, father and younger sister move through grief, school records, complaint responses, crisis-line contact, safeguarding language and the ordinary objects he has left behind: a school shirt, a weather notebook, a toothbrush, an empty bed.

The Wolf Ascendant is a grim Norse LitRPG fantasy and Book Two of the Sons of the Storm Trilogy, set in 672 AC within the War for the Adamite Throne universe. It continues the story of Magnus Björnsson, no longer just a frightened outsider trying to survive Norskheimr, but a young warrior who has begun to attract the attention of gods, giants, wolves, and storms alike. The book makes its direction clear from the start: Book One was the forging, but Book Two is the ascent. Magnus is no longer only surviving pain — he is becoming something the north has not seen in a very long time.

The Book of Job–A Modern Retelling by W. Sumner Davis is a literary and psychological reimagining of the ancient Biblical story, relocated to the harsh and weathered coast of Maine. Rather than kings, deserts, and ancient cities, this version unfolds among fishermen, storms, grief, and the quiet endurance of ordinary people facing unbearable loss. At its center is Job Thorne, an aging fisherman whose life is shattered by tragedy, illness, financial ruin, and the slow unraveling of everything he once believed gave life meaning.

Stormbound follows Magnus Björnsson, a sixteen-year-old boy from modern Norway who begins the story feeling weak, humiliated, and powerless. After being beaten to death in an alley by orks, he awakens in Norskheimr, a brutal mythic realm within the wider War for the Adamite Throne universe. There he is thrown into a harsh LitRPG-style system of levels, rage, weapons, monsters, and survival, guided by a sharp-tongued talking wolf named Krieg.

Nietzsche said: push the falling. A plush bear says: sit down. Have some tea. Boris Krige—former priest, systems theorist, and the man who may have solved the universe with one formula and zero free parameters—has spent twenty years arguing with a dead philosopher at his kitchen table. The philosopher said God is dead. Kriger yells at God regularly and considers this proof of His existence. The philosopher said pity is poison. Kriger ran a shelter for fourteen homeless people in his own house for nine years. The philosopher said the strong must overcome.

The Last Sword Before the Crimson is a grim, high-gothic space-crusade novel set in 3989 AC during the Third Age of the War for the Adamite Throne universe. It follows High Knight-Lord Alaric Thorne, one of the last surviving champions of the Order of Black, aboard the war-reliquary Norman One. The audiobook opens with the Order shattered, hunted by the Crimson Order, and nearly erased by prior catastrophe. What remains is not a triumphant crusade, but a wounded remnant carrying vows, relics, and memory into a war that refuses to end.

What if faith is not about certainty—but about love, doubt, and the courage to keep asking questions? Living in the Soul (with a Bear) is a luminous theological memoir that follows one man’s lifelong spiritual journey beyond doctrine, dogma, and fear. Raised a Christian but uneasy with institutional religion, Peter Harpley explores belief as something lived rather than declared—shaped by childhood vulnerability, profound moments of grace, and an enduring sense that God is present not in authority, but in love.

Why do we believe more than we can prove? Why does memory deceive us? Why do the most sophisticated artificial intelligence systems "hallucinate" false information? In Homo Credens, Boris Kriger reveals a profound truth about the nature of complex minds: any sufficiently complex system—whether human brain, animal cognition, or artificial intelligence—must believe far more than it can verify. This is not a limitation to be overcome but an architecture to be understood.
