They tried to erase this book. That’s why you should read it.
Stamped BANNED — DECREE 2039, wrapped in warnings that say DO NOT
READ. DO NOT BELIEVE, Dan Tesson: A Thriller refuses to stay buried.
Written two decades ago and now resurfacing, this dystopian
psychological thriller feels less like fiction—and more like a message
that arrived early.
In a world shaped by control, perception, and quiet manipulation, Dan
Tesson is forced to confront something far more dangerous than power: truth.
As reality fractures and the rules governing society begin to reveal their
cracks, he’s pulled into a system designed not just to influence
behavior—but to redefine belief itself.
What happens when authority decides what is real?
What happens when questioning becomes a crime?
What happens when truth is labeled dangerous?
Blending dystopian fiction, science fiction, supernatural elements, and
psychological tension, this novel explores uncomfortable territory—where
control isn’t always visible, and freedom may be an illusion people
willingly accept.
This is not a safe story.
It is not designed to reassure.
It asks questions many would rather avoid.
And that may be exactly why it was banned in their time.
If you’re drawn to provocative, thought-driven thrillers that challenge
perception and push beyond the expected, Dan Tesson will not let you look
away.
You were told not to read it.
Read to believe.

The Amazing
Adventures of Hunter Caine, Soldier of Fortune: Volumes 1–3 by JP Wilder is a high-octane sci-fi
pulp collection following Hunter Caine—a fearless, sharp-tongued mercenary who
takes on the dirtiest, deadliest jobs across the galaxy. Whether treasure
hunting, bodyguarding, or battling zombies, Hunter operates strictly freelance,
answering to no one but her own code. With fast-paced action, gritty humor, and
a dash of lust and laser fire, this trilogy delivers a wild ride through
corporate space and beyond.
“I’m Hunter Caine.
Treasure Hunter. Soldier of Fortune. Smuggler.
I’m kind of a bad bitch, you might say.
I do what the chicken-shit Corporation, or the Holier-than-thou Collective are
afraid to do.
What they don’t want to do.
And I do it anywhere.
When stuff gets ugly, and things need doin’, I get it done.
I don’t play favorites. Strictly Freelance.
But, I do it all.
And more.
You want something done? Something dirty? Something dangerous? Something
distasteful?
Call Hunter. You got the cash. I got the flash.”
What
readers are saying:
“a
monstrously entertaining short story that can be devoured in one sitting –
which, coincidentally – is what would happen to you if you were to fall prey of
one of the zombified shamblers spawned by the fiendish Dr. Z.
Hot chicks; alpha males; guns and gore aplenty; unstoppable ghouls; and witty –
gritty dialogue that makes you smile all the way through. What can I say, it’s
rip-roaring fun! And Hunter Caine is a whole different ball game to your usual
lead character; someone who doesn’t care how the job gets done as long as
there’s a pay check at the end of it!
If you like your action with graphic novel hotitude, then this adventure is for
you.”
– Goodreads Reviewer
“Wow -
I didn't quite know what to expect and I liked this so much more than I thought
I would. Never have I read zombie-sci-fi-pulp...a fun romp.” – Goodreads

Beluga Stein is taking a cooking class and it's a real killer. This time she's traded her signature loud muumuus for ill-fitting chef attire, including a toque the size of her ego.
A well-liked chef is found dead and it's up to Beluga and her feline familiar, Planchette, to investigate. There's no recipe to follow, only the hope that her erratic psychic ability will hit the spot. Is a supernatural entity stirring up trouble, or something far more dangerous?
Beluga and Planchette can't stand the heat, but there's no way out of this kitchen while murder is the main dish.
Read an Excerpt
Beluga Stein’s Diary
The evil smell lingers.
Even with all the windows in the house open, the doors cracked a notch, the attic fan going full blast, and Planchette’s tail fanning his face like he was Egyptian royalty preparing for personal delivery of a peeled grape, the odor of exploded eggs clings to everything like a sock stuck to the back of a shirt by static cling.
Alas, there is no magic laundry cloth to separate one thing from another. So for now I’ll have to live with sulfuric fumes and pretend I like them. Or at least pretend they weren’t there even after the water long since boiled out of the pot and left the eggs all alone. My choices are severely limited.
Not that I didn’t consider Tanya’s suggestion to move into a hotel room for the night. I did. Briefly. But my reputation in this small town precedes me, so the various housing entrepreneurs said. In rather unkind tones, I should add.
So what if my reservation for three included a surly goat, a cat with an attitude, and myself? Emerson, while a gifted goat in many ways, has not yet mastered opening a mini bar. Planchette has little interest in watching expensive in-room movies unless there’s a female cat in the leading role, and I’ve been housebroken for months now. So why not take us for the night?
Honestly, people can be so rigid.
