Explora Books has opened an unexpected new chapter for The Golden Codex: the publisher has arranged a private meeting between author William Sandberg and a film producer to explore whether the novel’s layered world might translate to screen. It’s an intriguing development for a book that already feels cinematic in its pacing, scope, and layered mythos.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27th Nov 2025 – The Golden Codex follows Jim Ralston and his son Piers through a world where ancient orders, metaphysical realms, and inherited debts collide. While the story spans decades and dimensions, its emotional core remains grounded in a father trying to free his child from a fate he once escaped himself. The book’s mythologies—secret names, soul-gates, conjunctions, and golden relics—don’t overwhelm the narrative as much as they create a kind of gravitational pull, drawing readers into a system of belief that feels internally coherent and hauntingly alive.

Much of the story’s allure comes from the way Sandberg balances intimate character work with dense metaphysical architecture. Piers’ gradual awakening to his role as the Torvi is less a chosen-one flourish and more a study in spiritual inheritance. Each “conjunction” he reaches marks not only an elevation of power but another step away from the life he believes he’s living. The book blurs the line between survival and transcendence, making Piers’ journey feel less like a rise and more like a surrender to a truth that has been waiting for him.

What gives the novel its lingering effect, however, is the way it treats knowledge itself as both liberating and dangerous. The secret arts—Brahan, Avda, Ohan—aren’t decorative lore. They shape the moral logic of the world, revealing how truth can elevate, bind, or consume a person depending on who is wielding it. The Golden Codex (the artifact, not the novel) becomes a symbol of this tension: beautiful, potent, coveted, and ultimately transformative in ways no one can fully control.

The meeting arranged by Explora Books will allow Sandberg and the producer to discuss adaptation possibilities and to consider how the novel’s subtle, character-rooted supernaturalism might be realized visually—should they choose to proceed. The novel’s interplay between earthly and metaphysical realms, its slow-burn betrayals, and its gold-rooted symbolism offer material that could be interpreted in a number of cinematic directions, though no decisions have been made.

For Explora Books, the meeting is part of the publisher’s ongoing efforts to support authors in connecting with creators across media. For William Sandberg, it represents a chance to hear how another storyteller imagines his world. And for new readers, it’s an invitation to step into a story where every choice, every ritual, and every fragment of gold carries weight far beyond the page.

The Golden Codex is available through major booksellers. Visit explorabooks.com to learn more.

Explora Books has arranged a private meeting between author Curtis Lind and a film producer to explore potential creative interpretations of Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure. It’s a natural curiosity for a book that blends adventure, folklore, and emotional undercurrents into a story that feels both fantastical and quietly sincere.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27th Nov 2025 – Lind’s novel follows Sophie and Pierre, two African Gray parrots whose idyllic life in their enchanted tree-home, Babu Nyumbani, takes a sharp turn when a silvery invitation arrives—summoning them to a Halloween celebration hosted by Pomona, Roman goddess of the harvest. The premise may sound whimsical, yet the story quickly reveals deeper roots. Behind the pumpkins, spirits, and otherworldly guides lies a more personal search: the siblings’ hope to uncover what happened to their family, who mysteriously vanished years before.

The journey that follows—stretching from whispering forests to pumpkin graveyards, from spectral gatherings to ancient chambers—has the charm of a fable but the stakes of a quest myth. Lind writes Sophie and Pierre not as caricatures but as siblings negotiating fear, loyalty, and the uneasy space between trust and caution. Their encounters with beings like Crooked Straw, Luna the owl, and Archibald the badger turn the narrative into a study of shifting allegiances: who can be believed, who is deceived, and who is still learning what they truly stand for.

What makes the book resonate beyond its magical elements is its meditation on heritage and burden. Archibald’s revelation about his ancestral duty, the Vex Shadows’ attempts to preserve their dominion, and the ancient key tied to the Samhain treasure all invite questions about what it means to inherit a world in need of mending. The treasure itself—wisdom rather than wealth—guides the story toward a gentler truth: that restoration and clarity often matter more than triumph.

The arranged meeting between Curtis Lind and the film producer offers an opportunity to discuss whether this blend of folklore, adventure, and emotional recovery could be explored in another medium. No commitments have been made; instead, it’s an open conversation—one shaped by the novel’s rich imagery and the quiet poignancy beneath its Halloween shimmer.

For Explora Books, facilitating the meeting is another step in supporting authors whose worlds invite collaborative imagination. For Lind, it becomes a chance to hear how another storyteller envisions the echoing forests, spectral hills, and shifting loyalties of his Samhain realm.

Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure is soon available through Explora Books and major booksellers. To learn more, visit explorabooks.com.

There are books about illness, and then there are books that quietly shift how we think about being alive. With the republication of The Genome of Faith: A Life Unfolding Between Heaven and Earth, Explora Books reintroduces a memoir that seamlessly threads science, mortality, and the quiet force of Grace in a way that’s hard to ignore. This renewed edition recently traveled with Explora Books to the Frankfurter Buchmesse, giving international readers their first glimpse of a narrative that refuses to choose between data and devotion.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27th Nov 2025 – At its center is Dr. Labilles—an epidemiologist trained to decode patterns, probabilities, and the logic of disease. Before his diagnosis, his life was shaped by fieldwork, the mathematics of public health, and serving communities like the Navajo Nation as part of the CDC Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Corps. His distinguished career as a cancer researcher and public health advocate was upended by a devastating diagnosis: stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.

In the memoir, Dr. Labilles walks readers through the disorientation of becoming a patient after years of studying them. He describes the aftermath of two craniotomies, the abrupt halt of chemotherapy when his body resisted, and the surprising clarity that arrived with genomic sequencing. A rare MET exon 14 skipping mutation changed his treatment path, introducing readers to the frontier of precision oncology, where survival is shaped by the unique genetics of a single tumor, not broad protocols.

But The Genome of Faith is far more than a medical journey. What startled Dr. Labilles most wasn’t cancer’s ferocity—it was the discovery that faith, which he once held at arm’s length, had been waiting. He calls this Grace: an unearned favor that steadied him when statistics could not. His reflections move gently between the pews of St. Patrick Parish Church and the clinical halls where he wrestled with prognosis and possibility. Science answered the “how,” but Grace began to answer the “why.”

Layered into the narrative are the people he carries with him—his parents, whom he calls his “core”; his four children, to whom he pens a final, aching letter; and the ancestry behind the names Labilles and Lágrimas, both markers of the history that formed him.

By featuring the book at Frankfurt, Explora Books offered global readers a chance to encounter a story that refuses to separate knowledge from devotion. The republication invites anyone facing uncertainty—medical or otherwise—to sit with a memoir that looks at life from both sides of the microscope.

The Genome of Faith: A Life Unfolding Between Heaven and Earth is newly available through Explora Books and through major booksellers worldwide.

Some stories ask to be read. Others ask to be felt. And then there are rare stories—like The Genome of Faith: A Life Unfolding Between Heaven and Earth—that seem destined to be seen. Explora Books has just released a cinematic book trailer for Dr. Ulysses Lagrimas Labilles’s memoir on their official YouTube channel, offering readers a visual doorway into a narrative where science, survival, and Grace intersect in ways that linger long after the screen fades.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27th Nov 2025 – The trailer captures the emotional sweep of Dr. Labilles’s journey: the shift from life as an epidemiologist and public health specialist to the staggering moment he became a patient diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer, complete with brain metastases. Before cancer, Dr. Labilles lived in the language of data—pattern recognition, probability, and the relentless logic of disease. As a COVID-19 Response Corps epidemiologist for the CDC Foundation, he had worked alongside communities like the Navajo Nation, helping track and understand the movement of an invisible threat.

But the memoir—and now its cinematic interpretation—opens the lens wider. It follows Dr. Labilles through the aftermath of two craniotomies, the unexpected halt of chemotherapy, and the pivotal genomic test that uncovered a rare MET exon 14 skipping mutation. That single discovery changed everything, connecting him to the emerging world of precision oncology, where treatment is shaped by the genetic signature of a tumor rather than one-size-fits-all protocols.

The trailer hints at these scientific milestones without losing sight of the story’s emotional core. It underscores what surprised Dr. Labilles most: not the science, but the Grace that arrived when science had exhausted its explanations. He describes Grace as an unearned favor—something that steadied him when fear surged, something that quietly rewired how he understood survival. Through images of church pews, hospital corridors, and fleeting moments of stillness, the trailer brings that inner landscape to life.

Threads of heritage and legacy also surface in the visuals, echoing the memoir’s reflections on his surnames Labilles and Lágrimas, the lessons passed down from his parents—his “core”—and his final letter to his four children, written with a tenderness that anchors the entire narrative.

With this cinematic trailer, Explora Books invites viewers to encounter The Genome of Faith not just as a memoir but as an unfolding experience—one that speaks to anyone navigating uncertainty, illness, or the space between scientific understanding and spiritual surrender.

The cinematic book trailer for The Genome of Faith is now streaming on the Explora Books YouTube channel, with the book available globally through Explora Books and major booksellers.

Dual Authorization Granted for ETF Issuance and Market-Making Operations, Marking a New Stage of Internationalization for South Africa’s Asset Management Industry

South Africa, 27th Nov 2025 – Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. has officially received approval from South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), authorizing the firm to issue, manage, and operate Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and to conduct market-making activities in the South African market. This milestone marks a major step forward for South Africa’s capital markets in the direction of internationalization, diversification, and transparency—enabling local investors to access global indices, diversified asset classes, and major industry growth opportunities at lower cost and higher efficiency.

Regulatory Breakthrough Under the FSCA Framework

Following FSCA authorization, Luminaris will launch multiple ETFs for local issuance, establish full compliance connectivity with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and provide dual-currency investment options in both South African rand (ZAR) and US dollars (USD).

The ETF product suite will include:

• Broad-based Index ETFs (JSE, S&P, global indices)
• Sector-themed funds (technology, resources, finance, telecom, consumer industries) 
• Quant-driven active management ETFs 

The company noted that the approval reflects strong recognition from South African regulators of its transparent operations, global-standard risk controls, and institutional asset management capabilities.

ETFs: A Catalyst for Market Liquidity and Structural Upgrading

ETFs have become mainstream investment vehicles worldwide. Global ETF AUM increased from USD 1 trillion in 2010 to USD 11 trillion in 2024, driven by low fees, transparency, and real-time tradability.

FSCA’s approval of Luminaris’ ETF programme is expected to:

• Enhance secondary market liquidity
• Broaden institutional investor participation 
• Introduce index-based and quantitative investment tools 
• Attract global capital inflows into the South African market 

As one senior market economist commented,
“An ETF is not merely a fund — it is a structural upgrade to the market mechanism.”

Investment Outlook: Supporting South Africa’s Long-Term Growth

South Africa remains one of Africa’s most diversified and financially developed economies. Despite cyclical fluctuations, its financial system, trade foundation, and expanding middle class underpin long-term growth.

ETF and market-making operations are expected to bring three strategic advantages:

• Formation of long-duration capital — attracting pension, insurance, and bank-managed funds 
• Market transparency and pricing efficiency — through index-based valuation frameworks
• Enhanced international capital access — enabling global investors to participate more easily in local market growth

Experts believe this development positions South Africa to evolve from an “emerging market” into a “global investment destination.”

First Batch of Flagship Products

Luminaris plans to introduce two flagship offerings:

South Africa Core Growth ETF (SACG)

Tracking leading South African enterprises while incorporating international weightings; suitable as a long-term portfolio core holding.

Market Maker Stock Intelligence System (MMSIS)

An automated market-making engine based on real-time order-book analytics and dynamic pricing models, designed to optimize liquidity, narrow spreads, stabilize market activity, and provide investors with more competitive execution.

These products will be registered within the FSCA and JSE regulatory frameworks. South African investors may subscribe directly through the Luminaris online trading platform, while Non-Resident South Africans (NRSA), overseas South African investors, and qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) may participate upon approval.

Industry Response: “One of the Most Significant Market Innovations in Years”

Financial analysts describe the dual approval for ETF issuance and market-making as one of South Africa’s most impactful capital-market upgrades in recent years.

“ETF adoption aligns South Africa with global investment standards,” said a senior economist at the South African Capital Markets Research Center. “We will see more international inflows, more AI-driven advisory tools, and more structured investment products entering this high-potential market.”

About Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd.

Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. is a multinational financial institution headquartered on Wall Street, with branches across Asia, Europe, and Africa. The firm specializes in ETF index investing, market-making and liquidity engineering, cross-border asset allocation, and institutional asset management, with over USD 200 billion in assets under management.

The South African regulatory approval marks a major milestone in the company’s Africa expansion strategy. Luminaris will introduce international-standard compliance frameworks and high-transparency disclosure practices to support South Africa’s continued integration with global financial markets.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 26th Nov 2025 – In an industry where new office chair models often take months to gain meaningful traction, China based office chair manufacturer Stellar has achieved something rare. Its newly launched HT-711 work chair has not only captured attention but has swiftly turned that attention into record-breaking bookings within just the first month of its public debut at Orgatec 2025 India.

What makes the development noteworthy is not merely the volume of orders, but the sheer diversity of buyers behind them. Retailers, wholesalers, project procurement teams, and a growing number of global e-commerce operators have all moved quickly to secure large consignments. Dealers who traditionally wait for market feedback before committing have, in this case, reported an uncommon level of confidence many influenced by early reactions from ergonomic experts, workspace designers, and long-time trade partners.

According to industry insiders, the HT-711 immediately stood out for the balance it strikes between engineering depth and commercial sensibility. Its fluid back design shaped to move with the user while maintaining comfort earned praise for elevating everyday ergonomics without leaning into unnecessary complexity. The chair’s adaptive locking and tension system, which supports multiple seating positions, was repeatedly cited as a major differentiator for long-hour users across modern offices.

Retailers also highlighted the chair’s adjustable components, such as its swivel headrest, responsive lumbar support, and multi-level armrest configurations, noting that these features allow the HT-711 to serve a broad spectrum of users without requiring separate SKUs for nuanced postural needs. Its versatility across textures and colors evident in the variants was another point of enthusiasm, especially for e-commerce sellers seeking high-appeal listings and for interior planners working on mid-to-large-scale office projects.

Speaking on the overwhelming reception, Stellar’s CEO Mr. Arihant Nahar said:
“We are genuinely delighted by how the market has embraced the HT-711. From the moment we finalized the design, its color range and feature depth gave us confidence. Seeing that confidence mirrored by our customers is truly rewarding.”

While the admiration is global, the momentum is being driven by a shared sentiment across the furniture fraternity: the HT-711 appears to align with precisely what the post-2020 workplace demands. More organizations are prioritizing comfort, adaptability, and long-duration seating performance, and dealers see in the HT-711 a model that answers those needs without overextending budgets.

What strengthens the story further is Stellar’s readiness to fulfill the surge. Industry watchers often note that sudden spikes in demand can become problematic for manufacturers who are not scaled for rapid supply. Stellar furniture, however, operates a 25,000 sq. meter production facility in Foshan complete with in-house mould manufacturing which allows it to scale output quickly while maintaining consistent build standards. The company has already reassured its partners that all current and upcoming batches will be delivered within committed timelines across international markets.

As the first wave of shipments begins moving into distribution channels worldwide, the broader industry will be watching closely. For now, what is certain is that Stellar’s HT-711 has entered the market not quietly, but emphatically setting a new benchmark for how quickly a thoughtfully engineered mesh chair can earn the trust and excitement of an entire industry.
