A Book In The Riverbend 

Now Available on Amazon

Some stories refuse to stay buried.

In A Book in the Riverbend, Mike Termi returns to the haunting world first introduced in A Bottle in the Riverbend, where memory flows like water and time bends beneath the weight of forgotten lives. When a mysterious book surfaces from the depths of the river, it carries more than words—it carries echoes of past selves, unresolved love, and a truth that was never meant to be remembered.

As the boundaries between myth and reality dissolve, the river reveals itself as a living force—one that remembers every soul that has ever touched its current. To read the book is to risk everything: identity, fate, and the fragile line between what was and what could be.

Lyrical, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, A Book in the Riverbend explores love across lifetimes, the danger of forgetting, and the power of stories to reshape reality itself.

The river remembers.
The question is—will you?

The Heart of Darkness: Mirror of Ashes

The much-anticipated sequel to The Heart of Shadows: A Tale by the River

In a town swallowed by silence and ash, Étienne and Annette return to face what the river never forgets. When a stranger delivers a bottle filled not with names but with ashes, the fragile peace they’ve built begins to unravel. The mirror hidden in their cottage trembles with fractured reflections—each shard revealing a life they’ve lived before, each echo whispering betrayal, love, and ruin.

As the river burns and memory turns against them, Étienne and Annette must confront the Hollow — a faceless force that feeds on their endless cycle of rebirth and loss. To break it, one must forget, or both will drown.

Haunting, poetic, and deeply human, Mirror of Ashes is a tale of love defying time, of souls bound across lifetimes, and of what remains when memory itself burns.

The Starlit Mausoleum

Beneath a sky that never sleeps, the dead remember.

When the stars begin to whisper names that no living tongue should know, a forgotten town awakens to its curse. In the heart of its ruined cathedral lies The Starlit Mausoleum—a sanctuary of light built from the bones of those who tried to forget.

Here, grief walks barefoot through corridors of glass, and love is a flame too sacred to die. As the veil between memory and afterlife thins, those who enter must choose: surrender their past, or become part of the mausoleum’s eternal song.

Darkly lyrical and soul-stirring, The Starlit Mausoleum is a descent into beauty, loss, and transcendence—a story that lingers like a ghost in the bloodstream, long after the final page is turned.

The Heart of Shadows

In a forgotten river town where memories drift like bottles on the current, two souls are drawn together by a force older than time. Étienne, a haunted traveler, and Annette, the seamstress of shadows, are bound by dreams, mirrors, and the whispers of the drowned. As they unravel the mystery of their endless connection, the river itself begins to stir—hungry, watchful, and unwilling to let them go.

A haunting blend of romance, gothic mystery, and psychological horror, The Heart of Shadows pulls readers into a world where love and fate twist through darkness and reflection.

Fans were captivated by its depth, demanded more, and found themselves whispering its lines long after the final page.
A book to chill your spine—and touch your soul.

A Bottle in the Riverbend

My beginning of a poetic odyssey

Before the novels, before the shadows and the stillness—there was the river.
A Bottle in the Riverbend was the first step in my journey from poet to storyteller, born from late nights of verse, memory, and reflection. What began as poetry evolved into a hauntingly lyrical tale about love, loss, and the echo of souls searching across lifetimes.

This book marked the moment I stopped writing to escape and started writing to understand—the moment my words began to carry both story and soul.

Readers felt its pulse, the poetry that lingers in every line, and asked for more. It became the foundation for my later works—The Heart of Shadows and The Stillness Below—each one growing deeper, darker, and more connected to that first river’s song.

A Bottle in the Riverbend isn’t just a story—it’s where the poetic journey began.
The first ripple in a current that still carries me.
