Pulse

Book Two

by B.A. Bellec

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic SciFi Horror 

The fate of humanity rests in the hands of a few.

Pulse: Book Two is the conclusion of B.A. Bellec’s dystopian sci-fi horror duology. This time around we are tapping into iconic stories like The Stand, Station Eleven, Cloud Atlas, Contact, and The Road to add elite and ambitious scale. Our chaotic journey picks up moments after the first book ends with action from the second you start turning the pages, but if you thought you knew where the story was going, leave your expectations at the door and ask yourself this one question: how would an autonomous droid defeat a monster?

Genre: YA Coming of Age

In his literary debut, B.A. Bellec writes an endearing coming-of-age tale about a group of weirdos that find and save each other from the dark depths of their minds. Someone’s Story is literally Someone’s story, as in a first-person narrative of a teenager that calls himself Someone. As he struggles to find a new footing in a new space, we encounter the many ups and downs of modern teenage life, the difficulties that adjusting to adult feelings brings, and a few tear-jerking surprises along the way.

Littered with music, mental health, friendship, loss, meditation, advice, pop culture, and even inspiring an EP, there is so much nostalgia, inspiration, and depth here it is hard to absorb it all. Cozy up somewhere warm and enjoy!

The Search for Braddock’s Lost Gold

Historical Thriller, Historical Fiction

Date Published: August 31, 2024

In 1755, British Major General Braddock led an army of 2,400 soldiers, including a young Colonel George Washington and Daniel Boone, to retake Fort Duquesne from the French and seize control of the American Frontier—The French & Indian War. Yet, carried by this formidable force was a treasure—gold to be used as payroll for troops and gifts to win over native allies. Its protection throughout the perilous journey, through steep mountains and dense wilderness, weighed heavily on the General’s mind.

Ever since The Battle of the Monongahela, where the French ambushed Braddock’s forces and mortally wounded him, Braddock’s puzzling orders for a hasty, complete retreat from an inferior force have driven rumors he desperately sought to recover the treasure he hid for its protection, but instead, took its location to his grave.

Over the centuries, legends swirled around Braddock’s lost gold, worth a fortune today. The tales of its hiding place, stretching the length of Braddock’s tedious and precarious march from Western Maryland to Southwestern Pennsylvania, have persisted.

Fast forward to today—Join Jack Sullivan and his companions in a heart-pounding quest as they decipher cryptic clues, brave treacherous traps, race against time, and battle aggressive adversaries. Will Jack’s bonds with his friends withstand the ultimate test, or will their pursuit of wealth cost them everything, including their lives?
