Synopsis

At the centre of this unusual novel of chapter-long sentences lies an unusual protagonist. The survivor of a near-catastrophic fall, he finds himself possessed by peculiar, residual behaviours, the most peculiar of which is a compulsion to expel every drop of pleasure from his life by filling it with repetitive tasks and activities.
 
When an abnormally large, abnormally cruel red butterfly enters his apartment and torments him to the point of delusion and insomnia, he realizes the only way to free himself from its grip is to leave home for an extended period of time and do what is most abhorrent to him: be among people.
 
Wandering the streets, mistaken for the perpetrator of a violent assault by a compassionate university student who takes him in and seeks to rehabilitate him, he remains entirely and infuriatingly resistant to change.
 
Throughout, like a hurricane of events around a static eye, what an intoxicating ride - what a grand experiment – his story is.

    How to Behave Abnormal? is a hilariously eye-catching book cover designed in bold black text on a vibrant yellow background. The playful and chaotic theme is emphasized by a cartoonish, wild-haired lady holding an oversized syringe with a crazed expression, suggesting unpredictable behavior or satirical madness. The word "ABNORMAL¿" is flipped upside down, adding to the sense of confusion and rebellion against norms. With the author's name, "bArAkAtH", creatively stylized at the bottom, the cover sets the tone for an unconventional, humorous, and possibly outrageous take on social behavior. Perfect for readers who enjoy quirky, offbeat humor and satire.

    Dreaming about my best friend’s brother is one thing, him actually falling for me is another. 
    Baking cupcakes for the science department bake-off shouldn’t strike fear into the heart of chemistry teacher Noah, but his previous record hasn’t exactly been glowing. In an attempt to stave off another year in last place, Noah turns to the one man who might be able to help him: his best friend’s older brother, Spencer. 
    Noah’s had a crush on the vibrant and sporty footballer turned baker for years, but the chances of anything happening between them are slim to none. Spencer is caring, funny, gorgeous… and totally straight. 
    Spencer has never thought about dating men before, but after watching Noah lick buttercream off a whisk he’s suddenly realising he’s not as straight as previously thought. 
    Revelations about his sexuality are one thing, but his footballing past being dragged into the present is another and Spencer isn’t sure which is more stressful. But he’s sure about one thing: he wants Noah in his life. Now all they have to do is figure out how to make their wishes come true. 
    Like I Wished is a hot and heart-warming best friend’s brother contemporary MM romance featuring adorable ghost cupcakes, a bisexual awakening over baking, gate-crashed first dates, gym-bro besties, and lots of hot chocolate. 
    It is book two in the Heather Bay series and while it can be read as a standalone, it’s best enjoyed as part of the series.

    Archer Kemp is tired of his life. Past wars, a cheating ex-wife, and a son he barely sees have made him empty inside; but things get worse when he awakens behind bars in a government facility called The Tower with an ensemble of others, some struggling to remember how they arrived. 
    The group soon finds themselves in a grim world where they’re starved and experimented on for the sake of military research. To further complicate the situation, his estranged brother shows up in the cell next to him before they’re mentally broken and bullyragged into descending the tower’s treacherous levels. 
    The moments that follow force Archer into his old wartime mentality—no man left behind—to try and keep them alive during a series of monstrous trials no human is meant to survive. And he must do it while fighting newly forming urges growing inside him blacker than the demons of his past. 
    Violent, fast-paced, creepy, and full of dread, The Tower pushes you down a dark slope of nightmarish moments mixed with one man’s broken realities.
