Life as I knew it ended the day I accepted my fate. In its place is an existence even the wildest imagination could never fathom. Strange creatures walk among us, plotting our demise, and I’ve come to find that the fate of our world rests squarely on my shoulders. We’re all in danger and I’m trying to figure out how to make it through each day. The key to my survival is a man I can’t figure out. As dangerous as the darkest fae, I have no choice but to work with him to stop the prophecy that’s foretold to be the ruination of mankind. Carrick Byrne continues to be my only source of information, but he doles it out as he sees fit. He intrigues and scares me in equal measure, yet I can’t help but be attracted to him. And the more I discover about him, the more it becomes clear he feels the same. As we travel to Faere in search of answers, we find that every piece of information leads to more questions, that every question leads to a new piece of the puzzle, and that, most importantly, no one can be trusted. The more secrets we uncover, one thing is certain— if we have any chance of saving the world, we have to do it together. A Discovery of Secrets and Fate is book two of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

William Buchanan lived an extraordinary life. Born a slave on a plantation in Jamaica, he escaped the gallows more than once. His part in the slave uprisings of the 1830s led to his transportation across the world as one of the convicts sent to New South Wales. This is a story not only about a boy who fought against all odds in search of freedom, but also about a world not so long ago, when the violence of colonisation was in full force. It is a story of Jamaica, and Australia, but at its heart, it is a story about how one lives a life, whether slave or free man. Steeped in history but full of lessons that resonate for us today, William Buchanan’s coming-of-age tale of survival and fate is a thrilling tale told in a singular voice, from a startling new talent in Australian writing.

In the Book The Destiny and Signs of God—Spiritual Psychoanalysis the author makes an analysis of his life through the lens of which he tries to convey to the reader God's way of communicating with each of us. His life experience is like a model for every reader to learn to communicate with the Universe/God directly without interpreters and without intermediaries—a unique and personal communication with the Universe from the entire Universe. The Destiny and Signs of God contains a poignant set of addictively chronicled teachings about our communication with God in person and shows how we can mobilize ourselves to get the answers to so many situations in our lives. Who are we? Where do we come from and where do we go? How can the paths we choose determine the destiny of our lives? In this book, you will find specific solutions to save yourself and our civilization from the nightmare of the material life. This book makes the connection between science and the Kingdom of Heaven. So far, our civilization has developed only one method of communication—OUR EVERYDAY INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION. Time has come for all of us to learn a second method of communication—to commit our thoughts to COMMUNICATING WITH THE UNIVERSE. This book is a new vision of ourselves and the whole universe. The author, a psychiatrist, has described a new form of psychoanalysis known as spiritual psychoanalysis, through which the reader will discover a way of communicating with the universe—the signs of God—as well as a new form of thinking: spiritual thinking. By interacting with the Universe, we communicate with God, and God is THE ONLY ONE in the Universe WHO can give us the best advice regarding our choice to build up our destiny and secure ourselves with a sound and continuous evolution.
