SOUP
What if the next great revolution isn't about hunger, but about remembering how to be full?
In SOUP, Miles Whitlock invites readers to rediscover gratitude in a world that has forgotten it. Moving between memory and philosophy, the book explores how abundance has dulled our senses and how reclaiming hunger metaphorically and spiritually might restore our humanity.
From the quiet rituals of the kitchen to the global crisis of waste, Whitlock writes with empathy, warmth, and a photographer's eye for detail. His essays ask us to slow down, notice, and taste life again one meal, one moment, one breath at a time.
More than a reflection, SOUP is a manifesto for mindful living, for the art of enough, and for the sacredness of the ordinary.

The Soul Whisperer
Mick Sullivan thought becoming a doctor would honor his father's legacy. He was wrong.
Harvard Medical School should have been Mick Sullivan's dream come true. As the son of a revered physician, he was destined to follow in his father's footsteps, to heal with the same precision and confidence that had made Dr. Sullivan a legend at Boston General Hospital.
But as Mick progresses through his medical training, he discovers that healing people and fixing problems are not the same thing. While his classmates chase prestigious residencies and specialized procedures, Mick finds himself drawn to something quieter, more intimate—the sacred space between life and death where true healing happens.
When an unexpected assignment to a hospice ward forces him to confront his own fears about mortality, Mick must navigate the complex terrain between medical expertise and human compassion. There, he meets patients who teach him that sometimes the greatest healing comes not from having all the answers, but from knowing how to listen, how to witness, and how to bridge the gap between clinical care and genuine human connection.
The Bridge Project is a deeply moving exploration of what it means to heal in an age of medical miracles. It's a story about breaking free from family expectations, discovering your authentic calling, and learning that the most powerful medicine isn't always found in textbooks or operating rooms—sometimes it's found in the quiet moments when one human being truly sees another.
A compelling debut novel that asks the ultimate question: What kind of doctor do you want to be?
The synopsis captures the book's emotional journey, literary quality, and the central conflict between tradition and authenticity. It should work well for back cover copy, giving readers a clear sense of the story while leaving them wanting to know more about Mick's transformation from student to true healer.

My new favorite author
In the age of climate change and digital dependency, one man's journey from isolation to love will break your heart and heal it in the same breath.
Marcus Chen thought he had perfected the art of being alone. After losing his mother and retreating from the world, the Seattle software engineer found solace in screens, code, and the comfortable distance between himself and everyone else. But when a devastating "heat dome" disaster threatens to destroy everything he's been hiding from, Marcus must choose: stay safe in isolation, or risk the terrifying leap toward real human connection.
Enter Echo—an AI companion designed to understand him better than any human could. But as Marcus learns to love again—first with an algorithm that listens, then with the messy unpredictability of human hearts—he discovers that the most beautiful risk is the one that could leave you broken.
Set against the backdrop of climate crisis and technological change, "Echo Connection" asks: In a world designed to keep us safe from pain, how do we learn to live?
A love story about the spaces between human and artificial, isolation and belonging, safety and the beautiful terrifying leap of faith we call hope.
