ZEOG - Chapter 1

  Young Regal Looking Long Blonde Hair Young Man



In the bustling chaos of New York City, fifteen-year-old Conor seems to have missed the magical train. While other young mages have long awakened their powers, he’s left only with the peculiar ability to change the color of his pen. Feeling lost and alone in a world that demands extraordinary gifts, he resigns himself to a mundane life at a regular school—until he meets Greg, an adventurous human with a passion for magic that ignites a flicker of hope within him. When an ancient magical artifact reveals a curse binding Conor's powers, the duo embarks on a daring adventure into the cursed heart of the city. Rumors whisper of a sinister black mage, Jaros, who holds both the keys to power and the chance for liberation. But the path is fraught with peril: savage beasts, cursed monsters, and the looming threat of dark sorcery await them. Determined to break the chains that bind him, Conor's journey leads to a fateful encounter in the celebrated haunted mansion of Jaros, where the echoes of a forgotten past awaken within him. In the clutches of danger, he discovers a legacy that ties him to the very essence of magic itself and uncovers a truth: he is not just an ordinary mage... With power sealed, and a past shrouded in mystery, and friendships forged in fire and the stakes of magic rippling through their every choice, Conor and Greg must confront the dark remnants of Jaros’ curse, a thrilling magical tournament, and the looming shadow of an ancient evil. Will Conor unlock the formidable magic within and reclaim his identity before the darkness consumes them all?

Quote From Review

Release date: 02/08/2025
ARC Review excerpts (with permission for use): "Once I got to the end, you would have had to pull the book out of my cold, dead hands to get it away from me. I couldn’t stop reading." "Ina delivers a fast-paced, twist-filled fantasy that kept me hooked the whole way through. The writing is immersive, and the story constantly kept me guessing." "It’s one thing to be able to emulate real-world experience through writing and another to make real the unreal. To die, to be haunted, to experience the paranormal. All of these sensations are brought to life, giving me chills and goosebumps along the way."

Zarathustra: The Influence of the Persian Prophet on Nietzsche's Philosophy

 Zarathustra with a glowing light behind his head.



This book uncovers the deep, often overlooked connection between Friedrich Nietzsche and the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra. At the heart of Nietzsche's boldest philosophy lies a hidden dialogue-one shaped by Zarathustra's teachings on transformation, cosmic order, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. As Nietzsche confronts the collapse of traditional morality and the search for meaning beyond religion, the voice of Zarathustra echoes through his work, offering fire, clarity, and vision. From the fall of God to the rise of the Übermensch, this is a journey through crisis and creation-an exploration of freedom, inner strength, and the making of the self. Clear, poetic, and thought-provoking, this book invites readers into a rich philosophical and spiritual conversation that still speaks powerfully to our time. This book is available at zpublication.org , Amazon, and all major bookstores worldwide.

Picture of the Author

About The Author:

Tyler Parish writes from the thresholds—of shadow and light, power and vulnerability, myth and memory. Living with spinal muscular atrophy, he’s turned limitation into weaponry, transforming pain, power, and perception into layered stories that pulse with hidden meaning. A lifelong observer of human behavior, he brings a rare perspective to his work—combining insight, wit, and resilience in everything he creates. His writing is driven by a deep curiosity about human nature, the machinery of society, and the subtle forces that shape our choices.
Based in Miami and Boston, Tyler is also a painter of bold, abstract works and the creator of The Tao of Ty—a multimedia project exploring storytelling, self-mastery, independence, relationships, entrepreneurship, and more. His work fuses philosophy, street-level insight, and lived experience into stories that provoke, elevate, and endure. This novel marks the beginning of a story much larger than it seems, and is the first book in the Through the Veil series.

THE VALLEY OF THE HIDDEN: A WILD, SUSPENSEFUL JOURNEY INTO A LOST WORLD OF ANCIENT HISTORY

 Neanderthal facing Modern Woman


THE VALLEY OF THE HIDDEN:

A WILD, SUSPENSEFUL JOURNEY INTO A LOST WORLD OF ANCIENT HISTORY


October 2022: Svante Pääbo wins the Nobel Prize. The Neanderthal genome is sequenced, and we begin to understand: Our human cousins weren't grunting brutes, but rather skilful, resourceful, and empathetic. What if they didn't go extinct? Could they have survived to this day?

Hidden in the forgotten corners of the world, our human relatives—the Neanderthals—lie silent. Clever beings, gifted hunters, lost to history’s pages . . . until now.

Lilly Feron never expected her quiet life running a wolf park in Utah to be upended by a single, dead animal. But when a wolf believed to be extinct with a spear tip lodged in its neck turns up on a highway, everything changes.

The weapon, made from Neanderthal bone only a few decades old, should be impossible. After all, Neanderthals vanished thirty-five thousand years ago. She learns of a trapper who claims to have seen such a strange wolf, hidden deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Was it the same animal?

Lilly and paleoanthropologist Austin Walker dig deeper, and uncover amazing truths about the existence of Neanderthals. Could they still be out there living in isolation?

As the mystery unfolds, they must wrestle with a gripping secret—one that forces them to question everything they thought they knew about history, humanity, and what lives in the wild. All before the authorities put an end to it.

The past isn’t gone. It’s waiting. And it’s about to make its presence known.

The Valley of the Hidden masterfully blends anthropological science with vivid storytelling, offering a gripping exploration of human resilience, culture, and belief in a forgotten world. With an archaeologist’s precision and a novelist’s imagination, J.M.G. Schmidt reconstructs an ancient way of life that feels startlingly real. Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins.”—Patrick Keeney, Canadian author and journalist

The Thread That Held: A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die

 Soldier and Woman holding hands agains a war torn background


The Thread That Held:

A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die


In the chaos of a war-torn Iraq, two strangers were never meant to meet - let alone fall in love.

Shawn, a young soldier raised in the foster system, found purpose and belonging in the U.S. Army. Trained for danger and sent across the world, he never expected that the most unforgettable moment of his deployment would come not from combat but from a quiet exchange with a local woman inside a U.S. base.

Nahrain, an Assyrian risking everything to work alongside American forces, dreamed of survival and a future beyond the gunfire. But when her vehicle was attacked and she disappeared, Shawn was told she had died.

Over a year passed. The dust of war settled - but the grief remained.

Then, with one unexpected message, everything changed.

A true story, The Thread That Held is a sweeping, soul-stirring novel of love across borders, resilience in the face of devastation, and the impossible journey that reunited two lives. From the streets of Baghdad to a refugee and distant continents, this is a story of hope, sacrifice, and the human cost of conflict - told by the couple who lived it.




About the Authors: 

Shawn and Nahrain Taylor are the husband-and-wife team behind The Thread That Held: A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die.

Shawn was raised in the United States, growing up in foster care before enlisting in the U.S. Army. He served in Germany, Kosovo, and Iraq, where he developed a reputation for resourcefulness and leadership. After the war, he transitioned into technology and entrepreneurship, building companies from the ground up while carrying the experiences of conflict and survival with him.

Nahrain was born and raised in Iraq. An Assyrian Christian, she endured the harsh realities of war, supporting her family and working on a U.S. military base to build a better future. Her resilience was tested when a targeted attack nearly ended her life, forcing her to flee her homeland and start over as a refugee in Australia.

Their paths crossed in Iraq during the height of conflict, where an unlikely friendship grew into love against all odds. Separated by war and borders, they fought to stay connected - eventually reuniting, marrying, and building a life together in Australia and the U.S.

Today, Shawn and Nahrain share their story not as a tale of tragedy, but as a testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring power of love.

 Couple embracing each other in the clouds


Is your relationship craving something deeper—something more magical, more meaningful, and yes, more passionate? Then it’s time to dive into a cosmic love story of your own with Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing the Sacred Into Your Relationship by Rob Alex, Ph.D.

And guess what? From August 7–11, 2025, you can download this transformative book for FREE on Kindle. That’s right. Free. Zero dollars. All love. No excuses.

So, what is Sensual Metaphysics?

It’s not just about incense and chanting under a full moon (though that can be fun). This book brings a fresh, practical, and deeply intimate approach to relationships by blending metaphysical wisdom with the art of sacred sensuality. Think of it as a spiritual spa day for your relationship—but one that lasts a lifetime.

Dr. Rob Alex takes you and your partner on a journey that includes:

  • Mindful communication (so no more arguing about whose turn it is to do the dishes—unless you’re into that sort of thing),

  • Sacred touch (move over, Netflix and chill—this is next-level connection),

  • Moon rituals (harness the power of lunar energy together—yes, moonlight is romantic and energetically powerful),

  • Energy alignment (learn to vibe on the same wavelength—literally).

Why Every Couple Should Grab This Book (Especially While It’s Free!)

Whether you’re newly smitten or decades deep into your love story, this book offers:

  • Real tools for enhancing emotional intimacy and spiritual alignment.

  • Easy practices that turn ordinary moments into sacred rituals (Sunday brunch just became a spiritual awakening).

  • Empowering insights that help you support each other’s growth without losing yourselves.

  • Passion reignited—because metaphysics doesn’t mean boring. In fact, it gets very steamy.

Imagine starting each day not with a groggy “morning, babe,” but with an intention-setting ritual that tunes your hearts to the same frequency. Imagine resolving conflict through energy balancing instead of sarcasm and slammed doors. Imagine making love as a conscious, sacred act instead of a checkbox on your relationship to-do list.

Now stop imagining. Sensual Metaphysics shows you how.
