Valentine’s Promise is a tender, time‑spanning love story about two people whose hearts find each other again and again through every season of life. From an unexpected Valentine’s Day beginning to a lifetime of shared laughter, whispered vows, and three miracle children born on the same enchanted date, Lee and Mallory Collins build a marriage shaped by devotion and destiny. As their family grows and the years unfold, they discover that true romance isn’t found in grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments that bind two souls together. Warm, luminous, and deeply heartfelt, this novel celebrates a love that endures, a family that blossoms, and the beautiful truth that some promises are written long before we know to make them.

Step into a New Year’s Eve unlike any other in The Last Countdown, a witty, fast‑paced mystery where five friends stumble into a hidden world of secret rooms, time‑bending artifacts, and a clock that doesn’t just mark midnight—it controls it. When the legendary Midnight Clock vanishes, the group is thrust into a race against unraveling time, hunted by a man who believes the world should freeze forever. Equal parts humor, heart, and high‑stakes magic, this story turns the ticking of a clock into the pulse of an unforgettable adventure.

When Tom drifts into sleep one ordinary night, he’s pulled into a vivid dream where Sandra—his grounded, quietly magnetic grade‑school companion he hasn’t thought of in forty years—appears exactly as she was in high school. She shows him three lives they might have lived together, each one tender, unsettling, and impossibly real. Shaken awake, Tom searches for her… only to discover she died three days earlier. What follows is a decades‑long reflection on connection, timing, and the mysteries that refuse to fade. Three Days After Sandra is a haunting, heartfelt novella about the questions we never knew we asked, the lives we never lived, and the quiet ways the past sometimes reaches forward—not to change our path, but to remind us that it mattered.

The U.S. immigration situation in 2025 is complicated and divisive, influenced by changing policies, border issues, and economic factors. Many were allowed to stay in the country while they wait for immigration hearings, which can take years because of court backlogs.
The immigration issue prompted me to take the problem seriously and explore it thoroughly by turning to various AI tools in my toolbox. I utilized Grok, Copilot, and Gemini for this purpose, each offering unique insights. I asked a common but crucial question across these platforms: “If I permanently wanted to immigrate to (country), what would I have to do? Additionally, do they have any assistance programs available for newcomers?” It’s important to note that there have been comments in various forums suggesting that different AI platforms may present biased perspectives and generate answers based on the leanings of the platform originators. This potential bias is precisely why I opted to consult multiple platforms; by doing so, I aimed to gather a more comprehensive view and ensure that I wasn’t missing out on any vital information that could facilitate my immigration journey.
