I found a good place, far away from psychological manipulation, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. If they’ve got the guts, they should do the same and stop being their minions.17 Sep 2026 22:02 +0000at://did:plc:sicho62br23d7jdkhsdnucfq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvqnrug6is2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/miverrasauthor1.bsky.social/post/3mvqkebe35k2tTwo people told me today, “You finally smile. I’ve never seen you smile before.” I guess that’s the magic good people bring into your life when they finally come along after decades of living through darkness and hardship. Well, something good came out of all that darkness: two amazing novellas.17 Sep 2026 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:sicho62br23d7jdkhsdnucfq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvqkebe35k2thttps://bsky.app/profile/miverrasauthor1.bsky.social/post/3m7m2mfu2tk2tBookshop https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-face-m-i-verras/219927e81d5af327 Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-hidden-face_m-i-verras/39420061/?srsltid=AfmBOoot_kz2LGSqD_hcdfbhNSH7WnodBryANScBzH9HUK7dkPCmrGVZ#edition=67723160&idiq=59042592 Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Face-M-I-Verras/dp/B0CBW5MNC2 Barnes&Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-hidden-face-m-i-verras/1143453599 Powell's Books: https://www.powells.com/book/the-hidden-face-9798822921337?srsltid=AfmBOoq2H-xo4x8b-Skc1VocBekJm-KxXY2tZj0hEvGOo6nQ08UGuf6K Left Bank Books https://www.left-bank.com/book/9798822921320 #books #booksky10 Dec 2025 02:54 +0000at://did:plc:sicho62br23d7jdkhsdnucfq/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7m2mfu2tk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/miverrasauthor1.bsky.social/post/3mvooh3uuts2fAside from my family and cousin, whom I know love me, I’ve encountered hostility and psychological abuse throughout my whole life.

I did thorough research on the WTC attacks. Back in 2001, I was in 6th grade. I came home from school and sat in the kitchen to eat a cheese pie. I turned on the TV, and the first image I saw was the towers engulfed in flames. I had no idea what these towers were.11 Sep 2026 16:41 +0000at://did:plc:sicho62br23d7jdkhsdnucfq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvaz2i3sd22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/miverrasauthor1.bsky.social/post/3mv6yyfad6c2gWhen the whole world collapses, when everyone makes things harder for me, my mother is always there for me.

However, both immediately grab the reader’s attention and explore shockingly obscure metaphysical subjects. They aren’t meant to be compared.
