I started writing eBooks as a means of escaping reality, crafting my own universe where I could control every detail—the characters, the rules, the endings. It was a retreat from the unpredictability of the real world, a space where my imagination could roam freely without constraints.
Writing eBooks became my rebellion against the modern world. I didn’t want to just consume the past; I wanted to contribute to the future. In the end, my journey into writing was more than an escape; it was a realization that the future belongs to those who dare to create it. Erotokritos Z.

The King of Black: Prelude

Epic Noir Ficton
“I bring a warning, a prophecy and a demand” The Oracle stood before them, his stick tapping softly against the floor.”Elders” he said, “I bring a warning, a prophecy and a demand”Three days from now,” he said, “Raiders will come. Not the usual scavengers. Not the desperate. An army. Ships red as sin, men with fire in their hands. They will not just take. They will erase.” In the not-too-distant past—230 cycles ago—human civilization collapsed. Nearly all technology had been lost, and the new economy relied solely on agriculture. Gold, silver, and diamonds became meaningless—there was no one left to trade with. Food, salt, wood, iron and steel, were now the only commodities of value… but even these were scarce. The islanders learned fast: peace was a luxury they couldn’t afford. So, they built an army. Not the polished, flag-waving kind from the old world. No, this was something raw. Something brutal and ruthless. But effective.

He understood the magnitude of the risk. The naval base was heavily fortified, manned by seasoned soldiers, and shielded by the Oligarch’s vast resources. A direct assault could end in annihilation.

Noir/Adventure Fiction
1986 – A fierce struggle inside IRA’s ranks. “The old white Anglia, a small station wagon from the 1960s, creaked at every bend, more and more. The man behind the wheel wore an American military jacket over his khaki sweater, but despite his best efforts, it was not enough to keep him warm. The car heater had stopped working months ago.

Geopolitical Analysis
Turkey’s Hostile Politics Against Greece:A Landmark Guide – Analysis Turkey’s Hostile Politics Against Greece: A Landmark Guide – Analysis: Territorial Revisionism / Energy Colonialism / Hybrid Warfare / Legal Subversion ” The relationship between Greece and Turkey is deeply rooted in centuries of Ottoman rule. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of Ottoman dominance over Greek lands. For nearly four centuries, Greeks lived under Ottoman rule, facing heavy taxation, forced conversions, and periodic massacres. However, the Hellenic Nation survived and the Hellenic identity has been preserved, because of the resilience of Greek people, the merchant classes and the Greek Orthodox Church, thus laying the groundwork for many independence movements.“
