The Silver Thread: The Sacrifice Paperback – March 7, 2025
​
by Eric J. Hayes (Author)
The Silver Thread is a fantastical tale set in the mystical kingdom of Eldoria, where every soul is bound by a magical silver thread woven by gifted artisans like Carys. When Carys’s own thread—the vital connection to her destined soulmate—is mysteriously severed, it signals that the balance of fate itself is under threat.
Determined to restore her lost bond and save the soul tied to her destiny, Carys embarks on a dangerous journey into the realm of the Fae. Alongside her is Rhys, an exiled Fae prince haunted by his past and burdened by betrayal, whose complex nature adds both tension and allure to their quest. Their path becomes even more intricate when they are joined by Elian, a mysterious wanderer whose unexpected romance with Carys deepens the emotional stakes.
As the trio ventures deeper into enchanted and perilous lands, they uncover a dark conspiracy surrounding the Loom of Fate—the ancient mechanism that weaves all the threads of destiny. It emerges that dark magic and betrayal have corrupted this sacred force, and even Carys’s trusted mentor, Enid, has been manipulated into aiding the sinister plot.
Faced with spectral guardians, moral dilemmas, and the steep price of magic, Carys must reconcile her inner conflicts and embrace both her light and shadow. In a climactic battle against overwhelming darkness, she weaves together the fragmented threads of fate through a sacrificial act of love and trust, ultimately restoring balance to Eldoria and redefining destiny itself.

This richly layered romantasy weaves darker twists with an unexpected love triangle, exploring themes of sacrifice, betrayal, and the transformative power of love in a world where fate is as fragile as a silver thread.

Mastering Prompt Engineering: The Art of Talking to AI (Mentor-Style, Teaching Voice—With Exercises & Real Prompts) Paperback – October 15, 2025

Imagine you could speak any language in the world—but your words shaped reality itself.
That’s what prompt engineering feels like in today’s AI-driven age.
The way you talk to AI determines what it gives back to you. Clear, well-crafted prompts can transform a vague chatbot into a creative partner, a technical assistant, or even a personal coach. Poor prompts, however, can turn the same AI into a confused or shallow echo.
In this book, we’ll explore the art and science of “talking to machines.” Whether you’re a student, business owner, creator, or coder, the ability to craft effective prompts can save you hours of work and open new creative doors.
Think of me as your mentor through this process. I’ll walk you step-by-step through the mindset, structure, and methods used by professionals—so that by the end, you’ll not only know what to say to AI, but why it works.

Available in KINDLE as well.
