The Mana Engineer
Eric Elwyn thought he was just another overworked husband and father, driving home after a long day. Then the sky tore open and dragged him into another world. Rebuilt from the soul-thread itself, Eric wakes as an Outworlder — a rare race with higher than average stats, a lightning affinity almost no one has, and a profession tailored to his nature: Artificer. In a world where affinities define power and trust is rarer than gold, Eric finds himself bound to Welyvyne, a sharp-witted lowlander elf with her own scars and ambitions. Together, they’re outsiders in the Arcanum — the most prestigious magical academy in the realm — where every whispered rumor can ruin reputations, and every misstep can mean death. Eric quickly learns that his power makes him a target, his inventions make him dangerous, and his bond with Welyvyne makes them both infamous. But Eric isn’t here to play the prodigy. He’s here to build — to bend magic into tools, weapons, and wonders the world has never seen. If he can survive politics, professors, and the ever-growing shadow of those who want his power, he just might craft more than artifacts. He might craft a way to bring his family there.

Static to Production
This book takes you from an empty AWS account to a secured, automated website deployment, built from the author's own working project. You provision a private S3 bucket and a CloudFront distribution with Terraform, then deploy with GitHub Actions using OIDC, so no AWS access keys are stored anywhere. Each chapter introduces the on-prem concept first, then the AWS service that implements it, then a build you can reproduce on a free-tier account. Where the original code uses a pattern the author would now change, an Author's Note shows the better approach. You also learn to diagram before you build, document what you did, and use AI tools to explain errors without trusting their output blindly. It is written for people entering cloud and DevOps work who want to build something real and understand why it works. No application coding or prior cloud experience is needed. It is not exam prep, and it does not survey every AWS service. It teaches one complete system in depth.
