The Interval
Literary Fiction. 5.5x8.5. 220 pages.
Hardcover ISBN: 979-8-9944-1724-9
Paperback ISBN: 979-8-9944-1723-2
Colossal discs rise from the oceans and begin rolling inland at five miles per hour. They do not attack. They do not communicate. They simply advance. Within days, identical forms emerge across the globe, moving steadily across coastlines, farmland, highways, and cities.
Governments mobilize. Scientists calculate trajectories. News cycles accelerate. Ordinary people gather at the shifting edge, watching the boundary move yard by yard. The phenomenon cannot be redirected or negotiated with. It can only be measured.
As weeks turn into months, humanity is forced into a new rhythm—adapting infrastructure, recalculating borders, reorganizing economies—learning to live alongside something vast and indifferent. The Interval is a literary speculative novel about time, systems, and what is revealed when the incomprehensible refuses to explain itself.

Calm Systems—The Parking Lot
Self-help Journal. 6x9. 110 pages.
Hardcover ISBN: 9798249067755
Calm Systems, Vol. I — The Parking Lot
A Spot for What You’re Putting Off
Procrastination is not a personality trait. It’s a signal. When something feels undefined, high-stakes, tedious, or emotionally loaded, your system hesitates. The problem isn’t the delay — it’s the mental drag that follows. Open loops consume attention. Half-decisions sit in the background. The mind keeps rehearsing what it isn’t doing.
The Parking Lot is a structured place to hold those unfinished tasks. Instead of forcing action or pretending the thought isn’t there, you write it down, label it, and park it. That simple act of containment reduces internal noise. You are not avoiding the task. You are relocating it — from your head to a page designed to carry it.
Calm Systems is a series of analog tools built around this principle: reduce cognitive friction through small, repeatable structures. No productivity theater. No motivational pressure. Just clear containers that help you regulate attention and move forward when you’re ready. The Parking Lot is Volume I — a place to keep your procrastinations, so they stop keeping you.
Calm Systems—
______’s Procrastinations
Self-help Journal. 6x9. 160 pages.
Hardcover ISBN: 979894417263
Procrastination is rarely laziness. More often, it is friction — a signal that something feels unclear, emotionally charged, oversized, or quietly important. Avoided tasks do not disappear. They accumulate in the background, taking up more attention than the action itself would require.
____________’s Procrastinations is a structured ledger for naming, ranking, and reducing what you continue to postpone. Beginning with a master list, the book moves through clear tasks, stalled items, postponed decisions, and the one thing that consistently resurfaces. Each section converts abstraction into defined motion, reducing internal pressure without motivational theatrics.
Part of the Calm Systems series, this volume is designed as an analog tool — restrained, practical, and repeatable. It does not promise transformation. It offers clarity. By moving avoidance from your head onto the page, friction decreases and progress becomes visible.
Perívallo Vol. I
The Book of the Living Moon
Illustrated Literary Fiction. 7x10. 110 pages. 50+ Illustrations
Hardcover ISBN: 9798247319917
Perívallo is not a place in the ordinary sense.
It is a living moon—ancient, self-maintaining, and indifferent to observers—whose surface, atmosphere, and memory form a single organism. Its caretakers, the Eídos, arise only where care is required, applying attunement to preserve balance and withdrawing when their work is complete.
When a dormant spore of Perívallo is discovered beneath the Earth’s ocean floor, the encounter that follows is unlike any imagined first contact. No ships descend. No voices speak. A single human mind is briefly aligned with a world that learned restraint before expansion.
The result is quiet—and irreversible.
This 92-page illustrated volume pairs speculative fiction with atmospheric graphite plates by writer and artist Neil Powell, whose detailed renderings give form to Perívallo’s living geology, alien architecture, and vast biological continuity.
Book of the Living Moon is not a story of invasion or salvation, but of encounter—between a civilization shaped by urgency and a moon that has never needed it.
The Bird Maker
Illustrated Novella for all ages. 7 x10. 60 pages. 20 Illustrations
Hardcover ISBN: 9798295582721
The Bird Maker is a quiet, luminous story about a boy who spends his days shaping birds from twigs, leaves, and patience. In a small forest workshop high among the branches, he studies the structure of wings and the balance of form, learning that making something beautiful is not the same as holding onto it. What begins as craft slowly becomes understanding — that belonging and freedom are not opposites, but companions.
Rendered in richly layered oil paintings inspired by the romantic realist tradition, each illustration carries warmth, shadow, and dramatic natural light. The forest is not backdrop but presence: dense canopy, glowing sky, deep interior shadow. The handmade birds — imperfect, bound with thread and leaf — sit somewhere between object and life, reinforcing the story’s quiet tension between creation and release.
Printed as a full-color hardcover edition, The Bird Maker is designed as a lasting object — restrained, atmospheric, and timeless. A contemplative book for thoughtful children and adults alike, it invites slow reading, close looking, and the simple pleasure of turning pages in natural light.
