The Power of a Book
A book is far more than words bound in pages—it’s a spark forged from years of relentless pursuit, poured into every sentence through tireless research, fearless creativity, and unyielding dedication. Each page pulses with the soul of its creator, a testament to their courage to dream, question, and inspire.
At Velvet Page Books, every book we distribute is a beacon of human experience—a tapestry woven from countless drafts, bold ideas, and a passion to ignite minds. These works don’t just inform; they challenge, transform, and bridge hearts across time and space.
By supporting independent authors, you’re not just buying a book—you’re fueling a movement. You’re championing the artistry, grit, and vision that shape our world’s stories and ideas.
Thank you for believing in the power of creativity, for amplifying voices that dare to reimagine the possible, and for lighting the way toward a brighter, more connected future.
Sincerely,
The Velvet Page Book's Team

Velvet Page Books Author Spotlight
About the Author: Born in Ohio, August embarked on his journey of self-discovery by joining the United States Air Force as an Aerospace Ground Equipment (A.G.E.) mechanic immediately after high school—an experience he regards as an honor and a privilege. However, rather than defining him, it illuminated who he was not, sparking a lifelong pursuit of identity and intellectual exploration.
His academic path led him through Missouri State University, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and LSU Shreveport, where he earned degrees at various levels, each expanding his perspective and interdisciplinary expertise. August’s diverse talents bridge the practical and the philosophical: a skilled mechanic, carpenter, design engineer, artist, and elementary school educator. Yet at his core, he is a philosopher and poet, deeply influenced by Greek thinkers, Camus, Jung, Erich Neumann, and Nietzsche. His poetry—raw, evocative, and unapologetically authentic—examines love, loss, and the contradictions of human nature, rejecting dogma in pursuit of truth.
A solitary thinker, August thrives in quiet contemplation, yet he equally relishes an impassioned, data-driven philosophical debate. Now residing in Louisiana, he continues to refine his craft, weaving together creativity, inquiry, and an ever-evolving search for meaning.
