All Jobs and Classes! I Just Wanted One Skill, Not Them All! (LITRPG/EPIC PROGRESSION): Book II
While barbarians were getting ready to continue the invasion, adults argued and soldiers postured, Ludger with a system in his eyes realized something far more unsettling: if trouble kept coming time and time again, someone would have to meet it head-on.That decision dragged him far from home and straight into the tutelage of a shameless drunkard, an earth mage whose greatest talents were leveling mountains and emptying bottles. Unfortunately for Ludger, the man was also a former guildmaster. Between half-coherent lessons, improvised training, and near-fatal āpractical demonstrations, thanks to a troublesome companionā Ludger learned that earth magic wasnāt about raw power, it was about anchoring, endurance, and knowing exactly when to stand firm and when to reshape the ground beneath your enemyās feet.
As threats escalate and alliances fray, Ludger realizes that reacting isnāt enough. Mercenaries scatter. Lords hesitate. Someone needs to build something that lasts. Something organized. Something strong enough to push back without breaking.
What begins as a reckless attempt to impose order on chaos becomes the birth of a guild forged by necessity rather than ambition. Between northerner incursions, political pressure, and the constant risk of being crushed by forces far larger than himself, Ludger carves out a new role, not as a sheltered prodigy, but as a builder of foundations. Stone by stone, contract by contract, he steps into a future where survival means leadership, and power means responsibility.
Because if the world insists on marching toward war, Ludger refuses to stand still, no matter how scary his mother is when she thinks heās in danger.

In Anne’s Shadow: Mary Boleyn’s Tudor Tale of Survival and Love (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 1)
Mary Boleyn has always lived in the shadow of others. First, her ambitious family, then her brilliant, alluring sister Anne. Sent to the French court as a girl, Mary learns early that obedience is expected and silence rewarded. And at Henry VIIIās court, she learns that a womanās value is measured by what she can give a king.
When Henry VIII turns his attention to Mary, she becomes his mistress, not out of hunger for power, but because refusal is not a language women at court are taught to speak.
Unlike Anne, Mary does not dream of crowns. She dreams of safety. Of love. Of a life not governed by a manās desire.
After Henryās interest fades and Anneās ambition rises, Mary is quietly discarded, left to navigate judgment, loss, and an uncertain future. When she dares to marry for love without permission, she is cast out by her family and erased from historyās grand narrative. Anne becomes Queen of England. Mary becomes no one.
Yet Mary survives.
In Anneās Shadow is an intimate Tudor novella that reclaims the voice of the forgotten sister – the woman who stepped away from power and discovered the courage to live on her own terms.

Murder Bimbo: A gloriously deranged, stylish, debut literary thriller: ‘Flays the political moment’ Torrey Peters
‘Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast’ Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby‘Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026’ Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs
I’m a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . .
A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life.
Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted “Murder Bimbo” explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck.
But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be.
In a time where ‘truth’ is more flexible than ever before – who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?
Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical – this is . . . MURDER BIMBO.

‘I devoured this sharp and acidic romp of a thriller, with its deliciously dark and unreliable narrator. Intriguing, compelling, beguiling – I was completely at the mercy of our slippery heroine, and loved every minute of it. Gloriously, riotously unhinged’ Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body
‘What a ride! A self-mythologizing, feminist heroine for our awful age, a political assassination, and lesbian longing – I did not want this bloody clever and acerbic novel to end’ Charlotte Vassell, author of The Other Half

Gurdjieff in France and the United States, after which he returned to England, where he became editor of The New English Weekly. He died suddenly during the early morning of 6th November, 1934, having given a radio talk for the B.B.C. on Social Credit the evening before, apparently in good health.Orage wrote wrote fifteen short Psychological Essays in the 1920s.
