THE NEEDLE
Synopsis The Needle in this fiction embodies Martial Law. The skull mangled exemplifies the Filipino people specifically human rights victims from all persuasions – enforced Desaparecidos to combatants, students to academicians, civilians to soldiers, peasants to landlords, laymen to religious, ordinary taxpayers to oligarchs, voters to politicians, officials to professionals, – all victims of militarization offered as sacrificial lambs in the altar of Dictatorship. The crucifix and holy rosary, guns, and bullets symbolize the protagonists – heroes and villains - and the causes and institutions they represent. The red roses, a love affair that blooms and blossoms among the main characters. The timeline was September 21, 1972, covering fourteen long years of dictatorship when Martial Law was declared until February 24, 1986, during the restoration of democracy ushered in by People’s Power at Epifanio de Los Santos or EDSA. Post EDSA events from Fidel V. Ramos to Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III or PNoy to Duterte’s presidency and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. are briefly treated in an Epilogue. The choice of fiction was deliberate because of its timelessness and very important lesson drawn from that historic event–the restoration of democracy no less by President Cory Aquino. Whether it succeeded or not thereafter doesn’t matter. Filipinos are that unpredictable. Their memory is way too short and the hardest to please. But what is important is we have thrown away the tyrant, award-winning Investigate Journalist Shiela Coronel emphasized restoring fourteen long-lost hostage democracy in 1986. Add to that is the consequent didactic message to all Filipinos especially the Post Martial Law babies: “Beware and never again Martial Law!” In format, the author uses four of Irving Wallace's criteria in writing fiction from his “The Writing of One Novel” with some innovation on grounding characters using flashbacks and other tools characterizing bestsellers like Dan Brown, Grisham highlighting the author’s premium on the relevance of the said historical event and its political ramifications surrounding the subject throughout the story. First, no loose ends in the plot. This one is a tough act to follow. The subplot should be tied together as much as possible to the end. Second, narrative excitement rings the bell for readers. Third, is the use of research to disabuse and mitigate elements of violence and sex. Treating this work as social commentary on different implacable social issues of the day was deliberately utilized by the writer given his Philosophy, Theology, and Sociology background. Note that pictorials used in the work unless indicated in the caption are meant to highlight the theme of each respective chapter. Lastly, the most unlikely ending squeezing creative juices of the imaginative mind. Breaking the rules of writing known to man is also a challenge here. Ergo, treating the subject as fiction against the social commentary backdrop to make the narrative captivating journey instead just plain Martial Law account which is surely dry and monotonous story. How these criteria are treated and addressed by the writer especially the first, third, and fourth is left to readers and critics. Copy editing of the first draft has been done by the author using Grammarly, relevant creative writing tips culled from the internet from the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jeff Goins, Catherine Reid, Cynthia Jones-Shoeman, Joe Bunting of NaNoWriMo, Billy Wilder, and Pruelpo, an FB friend and OFW dabbling as free-lance writer and guru. The third is actual editing from Ricardo S. Maulion Jr., my son, doing the proofreading. I have yet to accept any copy editors to do the favor for me packaging this project into a cohesive whole work. Ricardo F. Maulion For book order: Email ad: ricardomauliond1205@gmail.com

The Forsaken Hero
I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

Eye of the Needle: Into the Reikai
Faith, fear, and fury. The strongest, most inalienable things that make us human. While the people of the world learn and grow, they shed feeling and emotion as time passes. Much like how matter cannot truly be destroyed, the energies of these sentiments never dissipates. Instead, it feeds beings born of all types of things, from ancient cultural followings to widespread societal discourse. In turn, these beings give back to the world--for better or worse. After the traumatic incident of his father's death, young DeMain is thrust into a world of turmoil and a hidden people right under the world's nose. As he harnesses a rare and unique ability gifted to him in exchange for his suffering, his view of the world unravels as he converges with others given the gift of Witchblood, an ability to see and interact with spirits. This book will take on its narrative based on the first-person views of three separate protagonists. I will remind those reading that 'protagonist' does not equate to 'hero' in all cases. A forewarning: This story includes many heavy themes and I felt the need to write them with the reality of how they happen. As such, be cautious. This book contains mentions of sexual assault, murder, violence, substance abuse, and overall conflict. There are also quite a varied amount of scenes with some 'gross' aspects to them. Though I imagine this would only affect those with vivid imaginations, you deserve to be warned regardless. Updates will done be once weekly if not more. (Things are subject to edits and changes!)

The Silver Needle
Have you ever wondered what happens when the sun goes down and the human world is asleep? Well, most of the 'people' are really a part of a supernatural community that gathers into an abandoned part of an underground city. This city is run by werewolves, but vampires, witches, and other supernaturals come to hang out in secret. And one werewolf tattoo artist has a shop there called, 'The Silver Needle.' This shop is the main attraction, because she was actually a born witch before her werewolf boyfriend bit her by mistake. So this made her a hybrid. With the best intentions, a human walks into the underground city, only to find the hybrid, named Serenity, turn before his very eyes. This creates a serious problem as new dangers arise as their community may indeed be exposed. When Serenity finds out about his new intentions, will the supernaturals ever find a new home, or will they be forever exiled out of existence by hunters?

The Wasp's Golden Needle
The Wasp's Golden Needle is a novel that intricately combines the practice of traditional Chinese medicine with mystical techniques. It tells the story of Shen Xingkong, a protagonist born into poverty. Despite his relentless efforts, which secured him a place at a medical university, his life remains filled with hardships and scorn from those around him. However, an unexpected encounter dramatically alters his fate. During a seemingly mundane confrontation with a mutated wasp, Shen Xingkong, though appearing to lose, gains a magical golden needle from the wasp's stinger. This needle not only grants him immense power but also opens the doors to higher realms, setting him on a path of extraordinary transformation. Beginning of the Novel The novel begins with Chapter 1, "The Buzz of the Bee," depicting Shen Xingkong's accidental encounter with the mutated wasp. This opening scene sets a tone of tension and mystery, symbolizing the impending changes and challenges. Time and Setting Set in a modern urban environment that merges ancient Chinese medicine with contemporary medical practices, the story takes place in a fictional city. Shen Xingkong attends a medical university that combines both traditional and modern medical disciplines, giving the story a realistic yet timeless backdrop. Plot Details 1、Shen Xingkong's Struggles: Shen Xingkong is born into a poor family. Despite his hard work, he faces significant financial and social challenges at the medical university. 2、Accidental Encounter: In a fateful encounter, Shen Xingkong faces a mutated wasp.

His challenge pushes Shen Xingkong to further develop his abilities, creating intense and gripping moments. Climax and Conclusion The climax occurs between Chapters 155 and 158, where Shen Xingkong faces significant challenges and the pressure of postgraduate exams. Balancing his academic life and personal growth, he ultimately overcomes Xi Feng's challenge, showcasing his full potential granted by the golden needle.
