NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

  Book Cover Elaborate Sword Handle looking like a serpent



by KAL KAMEL
Imagine a world of volcanic islands, dense jungles, and shimmering turquoise seas. This is Nusantara, the 13th-century Southeast Asian archipelago, a vibrant maritime crossroads teeming with a thousand cultures. It was a world of immense wealth, where sprawling port cities were home to Javanese kings, Malay sultans, Bugis sailors, and merchants from Arabia and China. Here, empires were built on the spice trade, fleets of massive wooden ships ruled the waves, and the fate of kingdoms was decided by the monsoon winds.

Into this world steps Arya Suryanata, the grieving son of a legendary general from the Singhasari kingdom. He inherits not only his father’s command but also Naga Satria, a sentient, soul-bound keris (a distinctive dagger from Southeast Asia known for its asymmetrical and often wavy blade), a magic blade humming with the ancient power. His first command from the ruthless king of Singhasari is absolute: lead a fleet, find the defiant trading kingdom of Selat Kenchana, and break them.
But the King’s orders betray every principle of honor Arya was raised to uphold. He is torn between his duty as a soldier and the legacy of his father, a man who wielded power with wisdom, not just brutality.

As Arya's fleet navigates treacherous mangrove swamps, he finds himself in a shadow war against an unseen enemy. He is confronted not only Selat Kenchana's prideful war chief, but also by Melati, a beautiful, intelligent and enigmatic envoy who speaks of peace, forcing Arya to question if his king’s path is the only one.
Haunted by visions from the blade and tested by a power he can barely control, Arya must make a choice. The path of duty leads to destruction and a loss of his soul. The path of honor could be seen as treason. With the fate of kingdoms hanging on his command, Arya discovers that the most dangerous serpent he must master is not the one in his sword, but the one coiled around his own heart.
Background
The book was meticulously researched to bring the incredible world of 13th-century Nusantara to life. The politics, the real historical figures, the design of the ships, and the spiritual beliefs around the keris and the Nฤga are all rooted in actual history and mythology. Being from Southeast Asia and from Malaysia in particular, my aim was to create a story that isn't a generic fantasy setting, but rather, a real piece of world history, a "hidden history" brought to life.

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night: 30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

  Book Title on Cloud covered book background.




Even in the midnight hour, His promises still stand. Will you dare to believe He has not forgotten you? Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night is a 30-day spiritual invitation to those navigating doubt, disappointment, or silence from God. This is not a book of trite reassurance – It is a deeply honest journey into Scripture, prayer, and the possibility that the Father’s hand has been guiding you all along. Written by A. L. Schilling – a seasoned diplomat who spent most of his life far from faith – this book speaks not from theory but from a hard-won testimony. Despite years of skepticism, personal loss, and spiritual resistance, grace found him. Now, Schilling offers readers the same space he was given: 30 days to test and see if the Word is true. Each day presents a brief meditation grounded in Scripture, a heartfelt prayer, and a quiet challenge to take one more step forward. From Psalm 27 to Mark 10, from the wilderness journey of Exodus to the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel, these pages invite readers to encounter God – not through blind belief, but through scriptural engagement and honest conversation. If you have felt forgotten, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin, this book will meet you where you are. You don’t need to fix yourself before coming. “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22–23 Come walk these 30 days. The dawn is already breaking.

Tears from A Journal

 Gates with a Heart Upon it.


Tears from A Journal


You don't need to lose a loved one in order to be more appreciative of those still around you, like your family, close friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers. Forget about the elements that distinguish us from one other, let go the notion of countries, federal agents, 007's, religions, borders, and walls! They are mere illusions compared to the deeper values rooted in humanity.

I know we are all very busy people, caught in the habitual chaos of our own realities, but still, when was the last time you used your love and strength to help a complete stranger without expecting anything in return?

16 Missing Bible Verses: The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters

 Book Title on Green Background


The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters
In this compelling book, we delve into a narrative that many Christians are unaware of, one that could reshape the bedrock of their faith. 16 verses, quietly absent from the well-thumbed pages of modern translations like the NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, and CSB, sparks a critical question: what else don't we know? Advocates of the King James Version argue for the inclusion of these verses, while others question the integrity of the scriptures, citing these omissions as evidence of manipulation or error. This book isn't about complex theories or hidden motives. It's about straightforward facts that anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, can observe for themselves—By simply turning the pages, one will encounter the gaps, the silent spaces where these verses once resided
However, the mystery begs the question: were these verses originally absent or subsequently added? Were the 16 verses lost, or were they insertions that never belonged?
Here's what "16 Missing Bible Verses" can offer the reader:
Identification of the missing verses and why they're not in modern Bibles.
Insights into the historical changes of the Bible and discussions on its reliability.
Examination of the significance of these verses and how they can influence your faith
Resources to help you investigate these verses and the history of biblical text.
Presented in a language free from academic jargon and distilled into plain speech, the book extends its reach to every believer, seeker, and skeptic with the message that the past is not a riddle to be feared but a narrative to be comprehended. Whether one's faith is unwavering or non-existent, this book serves as a guiding light of understanding. For the believer: this book will give you the footing to stand firm and uncover why these verses have slipped through the cracks of modern translations and discern their significance in your spiritual journey. For skeptics who cite the 'missing' verses as evidence of the Bible's unreliability, this book presents a factual exploration that helps you delve into the historical context and discover the data behind these omissions. It provides you with a well-rounded and informed view of the Bible's evolution and validity.

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.

Why Rob Alex Should Be Your Metaphysical Guru

 Picture of Rob Alex with Lust for Life Poster Behind him.


Why Rob Alex Should Be Your Metaphysical Guru

(Even If You Prefer Breweries Over Ashrams)

Let’s get real for a minute.

When most people think of a “metaphysical guru,” their mind jumps to someone in flowing robes, perched on a mountaintop, sipping herbal tea brewed under the light of the full moon. Sure, that image has its charm—but if you’re looking for someone who makes metaphysics feel modern, approachable, and maybe even fun, then Rob Alex, Ph.D., is your kind of guru.

He’s Not Sitting in a Cave—He’s Sitting at a Craft Brewery

Rob Alex is more likely to crack open a cold one with you at a local brewery than chant ancient mantras in a cave. And that’s exactly why he’s the metaphysical guide the modern world needs. He doesn’t float above reality—he walks through it with both feet on the ground, a mischievous grin, and probably a slightly inappropriate metaphysical joke locked and loaded.

This guy bridges ancient wisdom with real-world relevance. He’s taken the sacred, the sexy, the spiritual, and the successful—and molded them into books and teachings that hit you right in the soul and the funny bone.

He Keeps It Real, But Also Really Deep

Rob Alex’s work isn’t just about good vibes and incense. It’s about energy, intention, passion, and practicality. His books explore how metaphysics touches every part of your life—from your relationship to your business to that little voice in your head telling you to stop being such a spiritual buzzkill.

Just take a look at some of the brilliant, and yes—brilliantly funny—works he’s brought into the world:


This is the metaphysical guide for people who roll their eyes at metaphysical guides. It’s cheeky, insightful, and loaded with practical ways to bring spiritual depth into your everyday life—without having to memorize Sanskrit or quit your day job. Rob cuts through the fluff and gets to the heart of what really matters: discovering your value, following your intuition, and figuring out this crazy thing called life while laughing at least once a day.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been lighting candles and meditating since dial-up internet, this book meets you where you are—and then gently shoves you toward your higher self.

Couple in a nebula embracing.

๐Ÿ“– Sensual Metaphysics: Bringing the Sacred Into Your Relationship

If your idea of romance involves candles, connection, and maybe just a little energetic alignment in the bedroom—this one’s for you. Rob invites couples to explore spiritual intimacy that’s more than just deep eye contact and crystals under the pillow (though those are cool too).

This book dives into mindful communication, sacred touch, moon rituals, and shared energy work. It’s sexy, soulful, and refreshingly real. Whether you’re in the honeymoon phase or celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary, Sensual Metaphysics helps you create a love that’s cosmic and deeply grounded at the same time.

Man with Lots of colorful images going into his head.

๐Ÿ“– Business Powered by Metaphysics: Metaphysical Energy to Take Your Business to a Higher Level

Yes, Rob even brings metaphysical magic to your bottom line.

This isn’t about manifesting a yacht with positive thinking alone—it’s about tapping into the energetic flow of your business, aligning with your purpose, and building something powerful from the inside out. Rob shows you how to treat your business like a living, breathing entity—one that thrives on intention, balance, creativity, and connection.

It’s business meets soul, spreadsheets meet chakras, and yes—he still might suggest a brewery brainstorm session to align your entrepreneurial energy.

Why Rob Alex? Because Metaphysics Shouldn't Be Boring

Rob Alex is the guru who reminds you that metaphysics isn’t about escaping life—it’s about diving into it, understanding it, and playing with it. He shows you how to take ancient practices and turn them into modern tools for living a richer, juicier life. He’s the kind of teacher who quotes Aristotle and then tells a hilarious story about accidentally meditating next to a raccoon.

He’s the guy who:

  • Brings sacredness into your sex life (without making it weird).

  • Turns spiritual growth into a laugh-filled, soul-expanding adventure.

  • Helps you build a metaphysical practice that works for your modern lifestyle—not against it.

  • Makes you feel totally normal for asking deep questions while holding a craft beer.


So... Should Rob Alex Be Your Metaphysical Guru?

If you want robes and riddles, he’s probably not your guy.

But if you want passion, perspective, and practical tools delivered with humor and heart—Rob Alex, Ph.D., is the mentor you didn’t know you needed. He’s changing the way we think about metaphysics, one relatable, energetic, and occasionally sarcastic chapter at a time.

So grab one of his books, pour your favorite drink, and dive into a metaphysical journey that’s as exciting as it is enlightening.

Because the universe doesn’t care how you look when you meditate—it just wants you to show up. Preferably with a smile.


P.S. If you’re still unsure, just remember: anyone who titles a book Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is definitely worth checking out. ๐Ÿป✨

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 รœbermensch, 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.

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 Pรครคbo 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

Ever the Wayward Sky

  Schooner ship on a foggy night


Ever the Wayward Sky


The Civil War is over. But for Sergeant James Taft, there seems to be no end in sight. He had seldom considered what he would do after the war because he never believed he would live through it.

James briefly returns to Pennsylvania in an unsuccessful attempt to work as a farmer. He then sets out to find peace and somehow vanquish the ghosts in his soul. What he can't possibly foresee, as he rides west, is the epic story of tragedy, triumph, and finding oneself.

"It's unfortunate, but true, that darkness must often be complete before we notice the subtle glimmer of hope." - Doc Jefferies, Ever the Wayward Sky.
