A novella-length fable about young Brian confined to a bare white room with
a mysterious illness. Mervyn, a mere house painter, is hired as the only
non-abstract artist to paint Brian’s room with the realistic scenes now
missing from his life in the fantastic, modern yet magical village of
Sandstone-by-the-Sea where Witches and Wizards attend the local Chamber of
Commerce. Mervyn stuns all with artwork so real he creates a new, and better
world. Complications of a satiric, comedic and fantastic nature soon follow
as all the tourists only want to have Mervyn do something like that for
them, or to visit Brian’s room for a fee charged by his father. As these
complications climax Mervyn is chased by a mob but paints a figurative and
actual storm in which he escapes in a tidy ending that restores order and
leaves Brian with an extra sense of wonder….

Blizzy Codes? What Is This New Technology the World Is Buzzing about?

In today’s world, information sharing is something that we just learned we
are not good at… we are not good at getting the right information to
the right people…

One man had a dream – a dream to share the information and messages
with the people who need it most, and that dream became a reality. He made
the Blizzy Code – a secondary communication system with the ability to
provide life-saving information without interruption…

Blizzy codes – perhaps one of the best parts of Jordan’s life so far.
Everyone could tell how proud he was of this technology as it was eventually
going to affect people’s lives for the better.

That’s all Jordan ever wanted to do, though; to touch lives and help the
people around him. This is why he designed this technology to get anyone
everything they could ever think of without having to sweat for it. Yes,
that was it!

Although the people saw this new technology as something spectacular,
truthfully, no one understood its philosophy yet. Today was the day Jordan
was going to teach the world about the essence of Blizzy codes, flaunting
this new technology to the whole of New York, to the world…

With Blizzy Codes, the creator of real-life messaging technology of the
same name, Michael Butler gives an in-depth explanation of what the
technology does and the philosophy behind his life’s work through an
intricately designed fiction story.

is this new technology the world is buzzing about!

Published: October 1, 2021

From the prolific, up-and-coming author, Michael Butler, comes “Black
Redemption” — a story of circumstance, fate, choice, and
redemption. Author showcased at the 2021 Juneteenth celebration, “Black
Redemption” celebrates the resilience of the African American and
Jewish spirit. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, protagonists
Trey, Maxwell, and Isaac lived, learned, and redeemed themselves despite
unfortunate circumstances, despite adverse fates, despite poor
choices.

Trey and Isaac are best friends with contrasting upbringings. Isaac’s
family builds on religiousness, peace, understanding, unity, anti-racism,
and imparting the proper virtues and moral standards to their children. On
the other hand, Trey’s family is separated by disputes, negligence, and
disunity. Yet, instead of feeling disheartened, Trey is overwhelmed with
hope — a hope that things can and will get better so long as there is
personal accountability. This is our world. Let’s make it a better place,
and we have the power to make a change by doing the next right thing.
Problems become even more apparent to Trey when he reunites with his brother
Maxwell under extraordinary circumstances years after leaving his tumultuous
home. Yet, by taking control of their fortunes, can these young men overcome
African American Racism and Antisemitism in the United States and prove that
they could rise above Gun Violence and change the status quo despite the
odds? *** “Black Redemption” by Michael Butler is a compelling
suspense drama that serves as a commentary on the saga of our nation as it
battles racism and Gun Violence against the African American and Jewish
population. And that, through compassion, tolerance, and the proper gun
interventions, all violence against all people can be reduced. “Black
Redemption” took Ten years and countless hours of dedication to write,
backed by remarkable research and development, and presented to New York
City as a new initiative in an immersive virtual reality format. Today, it
has seen sweeping reviews from readers and featured in the Caribbean Chamber
of Commerce and many other Publications.

Scarlett Camden met her Prince Charming-Harvard bound, Michael, the first
week of her sophomore year. Her life went from less than mediocre to
something resembling epic. With her new best friend, Jade’s help, she
managed to transform from the quiet girl no one remembered to the
most-envied girl at their private school, Philips Kimball Academy. But
things took unexpected turns.

Looks were more than deceiving. Life became unpredictable and
unchangeable.

What happened behind closed doors and away from intrusive eyes was anything
but the fairytale everyone assumed she was living.

Years later, her past collides with her present life. Once again, her world
gets thrown into a whirlwind filled with painful memories, unforgivable
crimes of lust, and the loss of hope. Devastation and regrets.

This is the story of first love and loss. Lies and lust weaved into a web
too big to escape.

Will Scarlett’s web of lies keep her terminally trapped by her committed
sins when she was practically a child, or will forgiveness grant her a happy
ever ending filled?

Excerpt

Copyright ©2022 Harley Wylde & Paige Warren

Someone once told me, “As long as you’re hurting, you know
you’re alive.” If so, I was definitely alive. My wrists and
ankles ached from the constant presence of the shackles that bound me. I
preferred that pain over the other, though. I just didn’t understand
why anyone would want to live like this. I’d prefer to die than
continue in this hell.

“There’s my little slut.”

I cringed as I turned to face the man who had adopted me. I liked to think
my family wouldn’t have given me away if they’d known why
he’d paid so much. Maybe it was a fantasy. My parents could have been
just as awful as the man who’d bought me.

“Come here. Now.”

I walked over, knowing my chains would reach as far as the doorway. He
grabbed my chin as I stopped in front of him. I knew better than to look him
in the eye. Nothing good ever came of it. He’d punish me for such
insolence.

“It’s time to get you clean and prepped. I have a special guest
coming.”

Which translated into he owed someone money or a favor, and the best way to
pay them back was to let them use me how they saw fit. He’d turned me
into his personal whore, and if I dared to disobey or fight back, then it
got much worse. In the twisted mind of Gary Leeds, I owed him for the food
he gave me and the roof over my head. And he took payment however he wanted,
whenever he wanted.

He pulled the keys from his pocket and unfastened my cuffs. The first time
they’d rusted, he’d cursed about me costing him additional
money. Now he freed me when it was shower time, but I didn’t dare try
to run away. I rubbed at my wrists as he hauled me to my feet and began
shoving me in the direction of the bathroom.

Gary twisted the shower knob, only the cold one. He got a perverse pleasure
out of watching my nipples get hard under the icy spray. With a grin
stretching his lips, he jabbed me until I stumbled under the water, then
reached for the soap. Every time he washed me, I went somewhere else in my
mind. His hands lingered in places I tried not to think about. When the
water turned off, I quickly dried myself, braided my long hair, then went
back into the bedroom. He’d said this was a special client, which
meant he’d take me to the playroom.

Gary put another set of cuffs on me, prettier ones to showcase his
merchandise, then led me downstairs. He unlocked the door to my worst
nightmare, then pushed me inside. The lights came on, nearly blinding me,
and I tried not to look at everything in the room. I already knew what was
here. I’d experienced it all firsthand.

He led me over to the waist-high table, then forced me over it. Once
he’d secured my hands at the middle of my back and anchored me to the
table, he kicked my legs apart and fastened my ankles to two O-rings on the
floor. Shackled and unable to move, I stood bent over the bench and spread
wide for whatever his guest wanted to do. It also would give them access to
my mouth. I hated Gary. Hated his friends. Hated my life.

Gary leaned over me, his breath against my ear, his cock pressing against
me. “Let’s get you ready, shall we?”

I stared blankly at the wall ahead of me. He took great pleasure in lubing
me, then inserting the largest anal plug he owned. It was silver, and the
metal was cold as it entered me. I winced as it burned and stretched me, but
crying out only gave him a thrill. He loved to make me suffer.

A knock at the door drew Gary’s attention. I heard a murmur of voices
when he went to the hallway. He typically liked to leave me like this for a
while before anyone arrived. He’d look at me, touch me, let his
favorite guards do the same. After his guest finished with me, he’d
allow any of his staff to fuck me.

The room was chilly, and my nipples were so hard they hurt. That was the
main reason for the temperature of the room. Gary loved seeing the tips of
my breasts harden into peaks. Even if it wasn’t from desire, he got
off on it. Enjoyed touching them.

I heard a loud voice drawing nearer and realized the man had a thick
accent. Russian? Oh, hell. My nape prickled. If Gary had borrowed money from
the Bratva, I didn’t think the offer of my body would be enough.
I’d heard stories of how ruthless they were. The man entered the room.
I didn’t dare look at him, but I was aware of his presence. It was a
tangible thing, his voice like a caress against my skin.

“What is the meaning of this?” the man demanded. “I can
have a whore without relieving your debts. Did you forget the Bratva-owned
brothels are the best in this city?”

“Of course not, Mr. Sobol. I meant no disrespect. I’ve had many
compliments over Raina and thought only to offer her to you as a down
payment on the amount I owe. As a kryshas for Mr. Petrov, I thought perhaps
we could come to an agreement. In exchange for an hour with her in the
playroom, you lessen my debt by, say… one thousand?” Gary
asked.

The Russian snorted. “Nyet.”
