Mama wasn’t always scared of me. Oliver remembers when things were different. When Mama would hold him, dress him up for videos, tell everyone how special he was. Now he spends his days in the basement, in a room with padded walls and a door that locks from the outside. Mama says it’s for his own good. That he’s getting too big, too strong, and too dangerous. When Case Officer, Kim arrives asking questions Mama doesn’t want to answer, everything changes. Oliver isn’t allowed to exist anymore, not officially. Not according to the death certificate Mama forged, or the plan she’s hatched to keep him hidden forever. But isolation changes people. Hunger changes them more. And Oliver has been so very, very hungry. Told through multiple perspectives, this slow-burn psychological horror novel builds to a shocking revelation that will make you question everything you’ve read. This is a story about the lengths a mother will go to protect what she loves, and what happens when that protection becomes a prison. $4.99 on Kindle.

Free: Delusional Madness
In the shadowed corridors of a 19th-century Ohio asylum, truth is not only hidden—it is punished.
Delusional Madness is a haunting and unflinching work of historical fiction that pulls back the curtain on the cruel, often forgotten world of mental institutions in the late 1800s. Cassie Alexander, a devoted mother and wife, is unjustly committed after challenging the rigid expectations of her time. Within the asylum’s cold stone walls, she is stripped of her dignity, her identity, and nearly her sanity.
But Cassie is not alone.
Surrounded by other women similarly cast off by society—mothers, daughters, wives—Cassie bears witness to a world of routine dehumanization masked as therapy. From ice baths to the dreaded spinning chair, from starvation to isolation, these so-called treatments are designed not to heal, but to silence. Yet through it all, a flicker of hope remains. Cassie records what she sees, fights for those who cannot speak, and dares to imagine a future beyond the asylum’s gates.
Inspired by real historical practices and deeply rooted in the horrors faced by countless women wrongly institutionalized, Delusional Madness explores the intersection of mental health, gender injustice, and the brutal power of silence. This story gives voice to those who were never allowed to speak, reminding readers that the fight for humane treatment and truth is far from over.
Poignant, harrowing, and ultimately empowering, Delusional Madness is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, mental health advocacy, and unvarnished truths. This is more than a novel—it’s a reckoning. Free on Kindle.
