Books are the path to personal freedom.

~Oprah Winfrey

“Books are a man’s best friend.” “Books are a uniquely portable magic.” “Books take you to new places.”

We have all heard it before, and truth be told; only those who fully understand what books are capable of know that these statements are actually true. There is only a small population who knows that even though books are crafted from words of black and white, they have the power of making and breaking worlds. Through reading, a person is able to find himself lost, yet found, in a world that is seemingly unreal, but is fully existential in the reader’s head.

Probably one of the reasons why people who read commit themselves to read forever is because of the diversity they find in genres. Horror, sci-fi, mystery, thriller, romance, war fiction, travel guides, memoirs, biographies, the list of how “many types of books” is endless!

Thankfully, there are brilliant authors who realize that the most important about penning down a book is the ignition of the connection between the book and its reader.

The Vision and A Himalayan Voyage are two spectacularly created books that completely check off the engagement, connection, and diverse frontiers. And it is all thanks to the mastermind, Uday Sadhwani!

VISION

Published on June 20, 2017, Vision is Uday Sadhwani’s finest works, which was published by Notion Press. The book is a collection of poetry on life, nature, and a combination of the two, which was authored by Sadhwani when he was just 20!

From the journey of a man who starts his life by struggling and how he goes through various stages in life, the poetry beautifully captures every stance, move, and event that the individual has to face throughout the phases of life. It also provides a deep insight into how a person’s mind works along with his actions and the emotional experience he experiences in every situation. The poetry also contrasts two of the world’s most powerful sources; the brain and nature, and how a person envisions his life through a combination of both.

A HIMALAYAN VOYAGE

Published on April 30, 2020, A Himalayan Voyage is a personal book that narrates the tale of Uday Sadhwani’s adventures in the Himalayas.

Living in one of the most dangerous roads in all of Himalayas, Uday Sadhwani offers a first-hand experience in the book, where he ventures high in the Himalayas. Uday Sadhwani resides in the three most elevated villages of Himalayas, and the book provides a record of all the experiences that the author went through, exploring, and having the time of his life in the unprecedented spots. The book perfectly encapsulates the author’s experience of urban life.

The book further discusses his excursions, experiences, and a portion of his most intriguing minutes in the Himalayas. In the end, the book discusses the authors’ companions whom he lost mysteriously while trekking in the tricky mountains.

A Himalaya Voyage was also featured in the Amazon Bestsellers (Top 100) in the Travel Section.

Never Too Late: G.A. Sallee’s Debut Thriller Is an Ode to Creative Timing

G.A. Sallee’s journey to authorship didn’t begin in a college writing class or with a publishing contract in hand. It began with a lifelong love of storytelling, set aside during his military service. Now, with the release of his debut novel, True Crime: Fact or Fiction, Sallee proves that creative callings don’t come with expiration dates.

Writing Without a Deadline

Sallee first discovered his passion for writing in high school, but like many, life pulled him in different directions. Service in the U.S. Army, marriage, and the everyday responsibilities of adulthood filled the years. But the spark remained.

“Once I started again, it took on a life of its own,” he says. “Halfway through, I realized I was writing a real book.”

That realization mirrors a broader shift in the publishing world. According to Publishers’ Weekly, more than 60% of debut authors today are over the age of 40. Sallee joins this wave with a novel that’s both personal and poignant, shaped by experience and driven by heart.

Inside the Pages of True Crime: Fact or Fiction

The story centers on podcaster Scott Townsend, whose true crime series leads him to investigate a 5-year-old cold case. But when he uncovers a second murder echoing the first, his pursuit of the truth becomes increasingly dangerous. What started as a strategy to grow his audience spirals into something far more threatening.

As Scott’s motives shift and his safety unravels, the novel asks timely questions: When does storytelling cross the line into obsession? And what happens when the pursuit of justice becomes personal?

The title isn’t just about the podcast content: it reflects the uncertainty surrounding Scott’s own reality. Readers are invited to question what’s real, what’s constructed, and how far someone will go for the sake of a story.

A Life That Informs the Work

Sallee served in the Iraq War and currently lives in South Carolina with his wife, Sandrice, and their three dogs. His experiences inform his writing in quiet, powerful ways. Themes of duty, perseverance, and emotional complexity run through the narrative, lending it depth without ever becoming heavy-handed.

“My dog Jake would lie on my lap while I wrote. I’d type on his back for hours,” he recalls. That simple image speaks volumes about the warmth and humanity behind the suspense.

Beyond the military and family life, Sallee’s writing space is steeped in personal meaning. Surrounded by loved ones and memories, he crafts stories that are as much about human nature as they are about crime and mystery.

A Story That Resonates Beyond the Page

In a market often driven by fast-paced trends and debut authors in their twenties, Sallee’s voice offers something different: perspective. His storytelling isn’t flashy, but focused, clear, and emotionally grounded. Readers looking for depth over drama will find a welcome space here.

He writes not just to tell a story but to connect. ‘I want people to feel like they’re part of my journey,” he says.

What’s Next

While Sallee dreams of reaching bestseller lists and publishing more novels, his real success is in showing what’s possible when passion meets perseverance. His book is a reminder to anyone feeling the urge to create – there’s no wrong time to begin. Each word written is a step toward something meaningful.

If you’re searching for your next thriller or murder mystery with substance and heart, True Crime: Fact or Fiction deserves a place on your shelf.
