I’m a 28-year-old author from Olsztyn, Poland, writing psychological thrillers, satire, and absurd horror that makes readers ask, “Wait… what did I just read?”
With a Master’s in Business Economics from Poland and Cyprus, I explore the quirks of human nature in stories like Destiny and A Typical Old Fart.
Founder of CrazyWriters, I recharge with manga and a skateboard. 🛹
Destiny
Thriller based on a true story
Destiny is a novel based on true events, intertwining the lives of two men from distant worlds.
In London, 1994, a young immigrant steps into adulthood, facing both freedom and hidden dangers, with his flatmate Sébastien sharing unforgettable, contrasting memories.
In Lima, a student grows up amid violence and fear—civil war, the mafia, and personal tragedies turning every choice into a fight for survival.
Though oceans apart, their stories begin to merge. Will their meeting bring salvation, or the start of tragedy?
A Typical Old Fart
Dark comedy, absurd horror
Loneliness, paranoia, and possibly cannibalistic neighbors.
An embittered, pain-ridden man drifts through pills, work, and growing suspicion that his neighbor is dangerous. When Olivia enters his life, their chaotic relationship pulls him into cannibal-themed parties, human meat auctions, and the internet’s darkest corners.
As reality and delusion blur, he can no longer tell what’s real. Full of black humor, absurdity, and existential exhaustion, A Typical Old Fart is for anyone who laughs when they probably shouldn’t—and wonders about the neighbor next door.
Chris Grall
Chris Grall is a retired U.S. Special Forces Team Sergeant with 26 years of service.
He started advising writers in 2007 with Scott Sigler’s Contagious and has since shared his firearms expertise at conferences and with countless authors.
His book, Trigger Guard: A Writer’s Guide to Firearms, grew out of a debate on how to mention caliber in fiction and a one-hour ThrillerFest talk. What seemed simple became a year-long dive into research, graphics, writing, and self-publishing.
Chris had sworn he’d never write a book. The universe laughed. He’s now finished a speculative fiction novel and may self-publish it. Another project is in the works—but the details are top secret… for now. 🩷
Trigger Guard: A Writer's Guide to Firearms
Trigger Guard is an illustrated firearms guide tailored for writers. It covers the evolution of rifles and pistols, explains how guns and ammunition work, and highlights common writing mistakes.
Interludes clarify ammunition basics, weapon malfunctions, and realistic ways to depict them in fiction.
The book guides authors in selecting appropriate firearms for characters and scenes, offers style advice, and shows how to craft realistic gunfights with case studies of real incidents.
Features include a glossary of over 180 terms, illustrated data sheets for 30 firearms, and a detailed bibliography.

M. L. Tilford
Mike is a writer of all things funny. Whether it’s Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or Personal Essays, he really can’t help himself. He started writing in his teens, convinced he was the next great American author. (He wasn’t. Not even close.) The early work, mercifully unpublished, can best be described as “enthusiastic.”
It wasn’t until years later, after stumbling across the likes of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and David Sedaris, that Mike had a literary epiphany: books can be funny. (Yes, this genuinely surprised him. We don’t know how either.) He returned to writing with comedy at the forefront and finally started making sense—on the page, not in life.
He spent ten years living in Thailand and somehow remained astonishingly pale throughout. He now lives just outside Los Angeles with his wife, his daughter, and several cats who think they deserve a co-author credit, for the many times they walked across his keyboard.

The Reluctant Prophet
There’s none so blind as she who can see . . .
Esther is blessed, and cursed, with a rare gift: the ability to see the fates of those around her. But when she escapes her peasant upbringing to become a priestess of the Order, she begins to realise how valuable her ability is among the power-hungry nobility, and what they are willing to do to possess it.
Haunted by the dark man of her father's warnings, and unable to see her own destiny, Esther is betrayed by those sworn to protect her. With eyes newly open to the harsh realities of her world, she embarks on a path that diverges from the plan the Gods have laid out. Now she must choose between sacrificing her own heart’s blood, and risking a future that will turn the lands against each other in bloody war.
The Reluctant Prophet is the story of one woman who holds the fate of the world in her hands, when all she wishes for is a glimpse of her own happiness.
The Sinner's Daughter
Abducted on the night of her brother's coronation, The Princess Tamryn and her brother Darius are taken far from their home, across the oceans to the enemy country of Orvaen. There, they find a people and a culture similar to their own - and a Queen who despises them, and wishes both Tamryn and Darius humiliated and destroyed. But when Tamryn bargains with her Gods for her brother's freedom, their actions leave her cut off and adrift from everything she has known before.
Having to put her trust in the enemy for survival, Tamryn embarks on a dangerous journey through a land with it own Gods, peoples and prophecy. As Orvaen threatens to tear itself apart in civil war and a Sinnotian fleet sails to rescue their Princess, Tamryn faces her own struggle; torn between the path laid before her, her wish to return to her home, and the path her heart desires...
The Wicked Web
The Forest of Forgetting is keeping secrets . .
Facing expulsion from the Academy of Mór, six cadets are offered a chance of redemption by entering the enchanted forest to find their steeds or face leaving the Riders Academy in disgrace.

Seeking out new mounts seems an impossible task, but determined, they enter the unknown, hoping to return with something more than worthy for the Academy - be it a deadly Kelpie, a majestic Gryphon or a purring, cat-like Dragon.
From their first adventurous steps into the forest, they realise it is far more dangerous and wild than they ever could have imagined. Leaving the Academy in disgrace is the least of their worries, as they discover there is something far more deadly awakening within the mountains of the Forgetting. There is more at stake than just their honour . . .
Something sinister is awakening in the Forest of Forgetting. Something that does not want to be forgotten . . .

David DeWitte
David is your average neurodivergent writer of fantasy and strange fiction. Originally manufactured on the west coast, he has had the opportunity to visit most of the country. Each new location was an adventure and played a huge part in shaping the way he views the world.
David has always been a bibliophile. By the age of two, he could read just about any book—well, as long as it was written by the famous Dr. Seuss. "One Fish Two Fish" was just the introduction to the infinite possibilities available through the creative use of words.
David has been casting his thoughts to paper for many years. He began writing his first novel almost twenty years ago. Although it was an epic failure, this did not stop him from writing.
In 2024, David published his first novel, "Ghost in the Darkness." So far, he has written three complete novels and has many more in various stages of completion. Stay tuned, this is just the beginning.
Ghost in the Darkness
The hunter moves silently through the forest, a ghost in the darkness. The Lords of the North march to start a war with the people of Mylan. Their Queen is preparing for one much larger, one that will affect the whole world. Renell, not quite an adult, has started a war of her own. She is silently hunting the Lords of the North, picking them off, one at a time.
I would discribe book one as an epic fantasy with low magic. The world is dying and magic must return to restore balance.
You don't want to miss this series. It's filled with magic, war, time travel, the good stuff!

People, as always, try to do everything their own way. This time, however, they’ve gone too far — they inject the blood of Golden, a creature long considered their greatest enemy, into the veins of a young boy. For generations, Golden has been the monster used to scare children, the shadow lurking in old stories and whispered warnings.
The experiments are only just beginning, and the scientists are already searching for more “volunteers.” Among them is a girl who, instead of fearing Golden, has been fascinated by him for years. What she doesn’t know is that the truth behind this mysterious creature may be very different from the legends she grew up hearing.
Because what if Golden isn’t the monster at all? What if the one everyone fears turns out to be the only one who’s truly good — and the real monsters are the humans hiding in plain sight?

Differences between P&M
-
Romance novels / spicy writing
One of them absolutely can’t stand romance stories, while the other one genuinely cannot live without them.
Bonus points if you can also name one more person from the community who feels physically ill at the mere thought of spicy writing 🤢😄 -
Style & interests
One of the girls hates dresses with a passion, while the other loves them.
One has interests traditionally considered more “masculine”—cars, extreme sports, skateboards—while a conversation about new nail designs feels like pure torture to her. -
The one is crazy, the other one is crazier than crazy

Angels of Half-light
Shadows of Dreams
Being dead was easy, being alive? Not so much.
She made an oath to protect humanity, but being an angel didn’t come with a handbook, and she’s definitely in over her head.
She’s here to help vanquish the brutal demon hordes, but she can’t remember a gosh darned thing! Apparently that’s part of the process when newly awoken, but is the sinister presence also normal that’s lurking inside her head?
Evil visions plague her as she tries to untangle reality from nightmare; falling even further into the thick of it.
Then there’s a particular, enigmatic someone, and when he looks her way — with moody hazel eyes like his, how can she not get lost within them?!
Between the blushing of her cheeks and the buzzing of her inner power, her feet are firmly “not” on the ground.
The city is a thousand times changed, society is crumbling, and even the constant rain can’t wash away the stain of the shadows. Demons run rampant, sucking the life out of the innocent; horror breeding in their wake. Darkness waits on every corner, growing stronger with each passing night…
The time is now and there’s no outrunning it.
*Trigger warning: frequent violence.
Shadows of Frost
The Shadow Master and his conniving apprentice, Elizabeth, have retreated… for now.
With zero time to catch their breath, Tesla and most of her faction find themselves staring down a calamitous nightmare.
Can they wrangle The Snake back into her bag of tricks, fangs and all, before they lose sanity, life and each other?
In a perpetual snow globe abyss where night evades and days are a bleak tundra, unimaginable dangers brew; death has a whole new meaning.
Will the forest welcome them, promising rest and resolution? Or have the talons of darkness reached even this promised safe haven?
No matter how far from the digesting heart of the city they flee; secrets follow, shadows rampage and a monumental betrayal threatens to cleave them into pieces.
The elders have lost all backbone, neighbouring factions remain silent, and Tesla’s emotions are on the verge of shredding her apart. No one said she would have to choose between her “supposed” path, her found family, and the… waiting arms of. There is no sense, only survival; end Elizabeth before she ends them.
*Trigger warning: frequent violence, brief imprisonment, brief torture, mental games, blood, death.

Aeloria, a half-elf healer, leads her allies through the Eldwood to find the lost relics of the Shadows and mend the Viel. Follow Aeloria through starlit groves and dwarven forges as she battles against the Voidborn and a dark mage bent on world domination. Hope fights Chaos……will Hope survive?
Tides of Eldrathis
In the blood-red seas of Eldrathis, where iron empires rise to burn the ancient forests, one scarred pirate captain stands defiant.
Jax Blackblade, betrayer, lover, killer, sails the living ship Bleak Siren into the jaws of annihilation, carrying the stolen Heart of the Eldwood and the last hope of a dying world. Hunted by Admiral Voss and his fleet of blue-fire leviathans, Jax must choose to heal the Heart and save the elves he once betrayed or watch Eldrathis choke on ash and iron.
From storm-lashed raids to the apocalyptic siege of Crimskull Cove, bonds will shatter, legends will bleed, and the sea itself will scream.
One ship. One heartbeat. One final war.
Tides of Eldrathis: when the world ends, only pirates can save it, or burn it down trying.
The Hollow Path
In the fog-choked depths of an endless forest, Elias whispers a desperate prayer: "Are you there, God? It's me..." Accompanied by the enigmatic Mara, he wanders paths that unravel the threads of his forgotten life—encounters with the echoes of his father, sister, and lost friend that stir a soul-deep ache. At the crossroads, a divine choice awaits: eternal guardianship as an angel, or rebirth into a fragile world armed with miraculous gifts to heal the broken.
