THE ALASKAN ADVENTURES OF PERCY HOPE RELEASED DECEMBER 11, 2025 Alaska, 1915. A land as vast and unforgiving as it is beautiful—where fortune and ruin arrive on the same tide. At its center, a bold vision takes shape: the Alaska Railroad, a steel artery meant to unite the Territory from Seward to Fairbanks. Yet beneath this dream of progress stirs something far older and far more dangerous. When journalist Percy Hope arrives to cover the railroad’s construction for the San Fr

Their presence felt like an offering: two souls who had walke

When Creation Outgrows Its Creator From Clay to Code Long before algorithms learned to speak, mystics in Prague whispered letters into clay. Under the flickering light of oil lamps, Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel—the Maharal of Prague—was said to have molded a figure from the banks of the Vltava River. In prayer, he circled the clay form, chanting permutations of the Shem HaMephorash , the ineffable Name of God. The air thickened with the vibration of divine letters until somet

From the Barbarians Within When truth becomes uncomfortable, silence often follows. But silence is complicity — and Gaza’s people are paying the price. The Atrocity No One’s Protesting “Hamas stop the violence against Gaza civilians and disarm without delay.” 
— U.S. Central Command, October 15 While “Free Palestine” still echoes through city squares from New York to London, that cry feels hollow this week. Because in Gaza, the supposed liberators have turned their guns inwar
