Brave New World
In a world engineered for comfort, pleasure, and perfect order, what becomes of the soul that aches for meaning? Brave New World unfolds in a gleaming dystopia where humanity has traded truth for tranquility and freedom for engineered bliss. Yet beneath the narcotic hum of conformity, a quiet rebellion stirs—one that questions whether a life without pain is worth living at all. With eerie grace and razor-edged irony, this is a tale of longing in a society that has forgotten how to long.

On Earth as It Is on Television
When mysterious alien ships appear over Earth and vanish without explanation, humanity is left not with answers, but with questions—and a gnawing sense of cosmic irrelevance. In On Earth as It Is on Television, Emily Jane crafts a tender, absurdist tapestry of modern life, where suburban dads unravel, teenagers drift through existential ennui, and even cats seem to know more than they let on. Through shifting perspectives and sly humor, the novel explores how ordinary people navigate the extraordinary—and how the real invasion might be the one inside us all. Is the universe trying to tell us something, or are we simply too distracted to listen?
