📚 A new adventure has arrived!

We’re thrilled to announce the publication of Bound: For Greatness by Benjamin Wesley Felician!

Fourteen-year-old Charlie Mintrose is orphaned under mysterious circumstances and sent from a crowded home in downtown Denver to live with a new foster family in the suburbs. With the help of his new friends Caleb and Ripley, Charlie discovers a secret government agency with an extraordinary mission: protecting the world from spirits by capturing them in books.

As Charlie uncovers pieces of his forgotten past, he must navigate new friendships, family, loyalty, and the unsettling question of what is real. Along the way, he begins to discover his own remarkable power—the ability to bind spirits into fiction.

Join Charlie on a journey where the line between fiction and reality may be thinner than it seems.

Rebel Satori is pleased to announce the fifth in our Bijou Book Series of novellas: Dennis Eichler's Three Waiting at Night

Nineteen-year-old Chris finds his father dead in their suburban home. He calls for help, but a storm slows everything down, leaving him alone with too much time to think.

Then Thomas arrives, a hookup Chris barely remembers arranging. Thomas is confident on the surface but unsteady underneath, and has no idea what he’s stepping into.

Cut off from the outside world by the raging storm, the two young men are forced into an uneasy, awkward intimacy.

As the night progresses and the weather worsens, they begin to sense that something else is in the house with them. Sounds echo from upstairs, shadows move where nothing should be, and the night grows increasingly strange.

A q***r ghost story about a fleeting connection that forms between two strangers over a single unsettling night.

Welcome to the world Charlie Vazquez's new memoir Taking Refuge in the Fire: Purification Through Creative Presence

From the charred canyons of the South Bronx to the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, Taking Refuge in the Fire is a visceral odyssey of survival, identity, and transcendence. This journey follows an artist through the electric undergrounds of the 1980s and 1990s, navigating the dual terrors of the AIDS crisis and the haunting legacy of family trauma. Vazquez’s creative and spiritual seeking leads him to “creative presence,” a sacred state where creativity and contemplation merge into ritual. As he shifts from musician to writer to meditation teacher, he uncovers a timeless truth: by “taking pain as the path,” we can transform our suffering into wisdom.
“This memoir is no tourist trip; it’s the hero’s journey from the exploding Bronx with its systemic poverty and generational abuse to a step-by-step quest for wisdom, truth, authenticity, and self-realization—a Gen X coming-of-age story in the shadow of AIDS. We travel with Charlie from the fears that generate addiction, break families, create homophobia and racism, to the self-knowledge and self-expression that heal and serve the Four Noble Truths. This is a fortifying, surprising, and uplifting story. It’s a late-20th-century cultural travelogue and a How-to-Evolve manual, like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance—without the motorcycle. I say take the ride.” — Penny Arcade, writer and performance artist
