I Should Have Worn a Curtain 1

I Should Have Worn a Curtain: A Psychological Fiction Novella

I Should Have Worn a Curtain is a tense and emotional psychological novella that explores control, vulnerability, and the need to be seen.

Shaena’s life is unraveling. Battling bulimia and feeling invisible, she decides to attend an Overeaters Anonymous meeting in a last-ditch effort to take back control. But before she even walks inside, she meets Mike—a charming, confident personal trainer new to the city, looking to build a client base.

He invites her out—a date, or maybe just a consultation. She’s not sure. He talks about fitness goals, offers free workouts, and praises her progress. Shaena wants to believe he sees more in her than her appearance… but when the weight loss slows, so does his warmth.

As Mike becomes more invested in her results than her well-being, Shaena begins to question everything: his motives, her judgment, and whether she was ever more than a project to him.

Is he interested in her—or just the potential transformation she represents? And if she can’t trust his intentions, how can she trust her own?

I Should Have Worn a Curtain 2: A Psychological Fiction Novella

I Should Have Worn a Curtain 2 is the final book in the duology, continuing Shaena’s psychological journey as she tries to hold her life together after finally speaking the truth.

Shaena has confessed her bulimia in an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, taking her first real step toward recovery. But her eating disorder is still a daily battle, and when her job unexpectedly closes, she’s forced to search for work while struggling to stay afloat.

She keeps her recovery private. No one knows what she is dealing with.

Then Mike posts a video.

He doesn’t say her name, but he describes a former client with an eating disorder. Shaena knows exactly who he means—and now someone else does too.

As fear builds, Shaena’s fragile sense of control begins to crack. She must decide what it really means to be seen—and whether silence is still protection.

Gary, Indiana, 1987: They seem like an ordinary, church-going family. But behind the facade…

Nine-year-old Janet Moore is tired of church. Boring clothes. Boring sermons. Boring family. Then, during Sunday service, her father, the church deacon, shocks her by rudely silencing a beautiful first-time visitor during testimony and ordering the band to crank up the volume.

Soon after, a toxic family secret is exposed, and Janet’s secure young life shatters. She calls on Jesus for help, but He doesn’t come. Neither does her mother, who has problems of her own.

Consumed by anger, Janet wants everyone who ruined her family to burn in hell.

If only she had a match.

But when plans surface to demolish an abandoned cathedral tied to that secret, everything she’s worked to protect is suddenly at risk. Yet the cathedral is only the beginning.

As Janet’s world unravels, she’ll have to fight to protect her future—and her chance to escape Gary, Indiana, and pursue the life she’s always dreamed of.

Someone from her past wants her tell-all book about the entertainment industry erased, and they’ll destroy everything she loves to make it happen.

When Janet refuses to surrender, a man she abandoned at a bus station nearly thirty years ago suddenly resurfaces with a secret that could ruin her. She realizes the danger is far closer than she imagined—someone has recruited him.

Hardened Hearts: A Psychological Fiction of Secrets and Shattered Trusts

EVEN THE STRONGEST SURVIVORS CAN SHATTER

Parrish has built her life around control. She’s the face of compassion at the domestic violence shelter, newly crowned Employee of the Year, and newly engaged to a man who seems perfect. But perfection is fragile – and Parrish knows how easily it breaks. Behind her calm smile is a past she’s buried so deep, she’s convinced it can’t hurt her anymore. She’s wrong.

Dillon, the shelter’s art therapist, wears her trauma like armor. She’s turned her pain into purpose, her grief into guidance. But one devastating secret still haunts her – it’s one she can’t afford to let surface. Because if it does, she won’t just lose her job. She’ll lose everything.

When the women they’ve vowed to protect fall through the cracks of the system, Parrish and Dillon’s faith in justice begins to unravel. Bound by rage and desperation, they make choices that cross every principle they once swore to uphold.

As secrets start to surface, both women must face the truth: sometimes helping isn’t healing… it’s destruction.

Hardened Hearts is a gripping psychological suspense about justice, trauma, and the darkness that lives inside even the most compassionate souls.

The Predator's Prey: A Dark Psychological Suspense Novel

Not Every Obsession Screams. Some whisper…

Malik is the image of restraint: polished, patient, disciplined. But beneath the quiet charm lies something far more dangerous. A hidden life. A hunger he can’t contain.

Shalima is done with chaos inflicted by her reckless ex. She wants order, safety – a predictable life, even if it means settling for a man she doesn’t love. Anything to protect her daughter. Anything to feel secure. When their paths converge, it’s almost too slowly to recognize the warning signs. By the time Shalima begins to question what lies beneath Malik’s calm surface, she’s already in too deep.

Because some monsters don’t chase you.
They wait. They plan… And they make you choose them.

The Hostage

The Hostage: A Halloween Psychological Thriller

Some stories get under your skin… and stay there.

Brandy and Zane are out of options. With Halloween approaching and no place to call home, they take over the house of Brandy’s agoraphobic client — a woman too fearful to leave and too isolated to resist. It’s only temporary, they tell themselves. Just long enough to save up and start fresh — for themselves and their children.

To pass the time, the woman begins reading them pages from a novel she’s been writing — unsettling, violent, and impossible to forget. Brandy tries not to think too hard about it.

But some stories linger longer than expected.

**Second Edition Published July 2025**
This newly updated edition of The Hostage includes refined sentence structure, corrected character details, and stylistic improvements for a smoother and more immersive read. The heart of the story remains unchanged, but the prose has been sharpened for clarity and flow.

Booga Snatcha: A Halloween Urban Legend

Every town has a legend. Ours steals boogers.

On Halloween night, whispers rise about Da Booga Snatcha, a strange woman who slips into homes to take what no one else would dare touch.

But legends don’t begin in darkness. Before she was Da Booga Snatcha, she was a mother facing loss, eviction, and humiliation. This novelette follows her path from desperation to an absurd obsession, revealing how tragedy gave birth to one of the strangest urban legends ever told.

Equal parts haunting backstory and bizarre Halloween myth, Booga Snatcha shows how far a person might go to be remembered.

Pimple Popper

He took one pill to calm down.
Instead, it gave him a voice he can’t ignore.

After devastating news sends Eric into a panic, he turns to a new mood-enhancing pill for fast relief. What he gets instead is a compulsion—one that whispers relentlessly: pop every pimple you see.

Wandering the streets in his Santa suit, Eric’s resistance crumbles as faces become targets and his need to “cleanse” the world turns violent. Control slips. Boundaries vanish. And no one is safe from his touch.

Disturbing. Grotesque. Darkly absurd.
This Christmas, Santa isn’t checking a list.
He’s checking your pores.

Content Warning: Contains gore, suicide references, drug use, graphic pimple popping, and mental instability.
