    Two elderly scientists hide a dark secret. Twenty-five years earlier they were part of a UK government which legalised all recreational drugs. After only two years, the controversial law, 'The Fairfield Act,' was repealed. The aftermath was disastrous. Now, it is 2042. The past does not exist. The UK is part of the Northern Zone, controlled from London-Centre, a utilitarian megacity rebuilt for the new order. Citizens in the Northern Zone live only according to the Chairman's Prime Directives. They've lost the ability to create. For them, pleasure is a forgotten emotion. 'The Inhibited' is a futuristic tale following the life of Declan Smith, a young aggrieved student intent on uncovering the truth. Smith believes the key to political change lies in understanding the past, but he soon finds out the greater challenge is the discovery of his own soul.

    In a world where every word is monitored, every gesture analyzed, and every thought rewritten, the illusion of connection has replaced the essence of humanity. Julian, an ordinary man in the hyper-connected city of New Arcadia, begins to question everything. Hidden behind the silence of his room, he rediscovers the forbidden: unfiltered language, books, emotions. As the system tightens its grip on communication and thought, Julian realizes that true isolation might be the last form of freedom and the most dangerous crime of all. The Echo Chamber is a haunting exploration of modern loneliness, artificial connection, and the quiet rebellion of a mind refusing to conform.

    Imagine a world where human life is meaningless. A world where people come from conveyor belts in factories and where everyone is engineered with a single purpose in mind. A place where your life is valued only when you do your job and do it well, and where the moment you outlive your use the asphyxiation sets in. A world where your purpose is defined by what you look like, and where wars can start because someone, somewhere, was bored. This is Arksiane. Consider in this world another power. A power that thrives on anarchy, rather than order. A land that embodies the phrase 'meritocracy' in the truest sense, where people are judged only by their actions--and in some cases, enslaved by them. This is Outland. Although it may seem like a war of black and white, the actions of all will color the pool, and soon it will be only gray. ***

    BLUE EYES is a riveting Avant-Garde political thriller set in the South. The is the author's six work of political fiction and the first showcased on WattPad.   On June 28, 1963, a group of southern white men met at a secret location in Nashville, Tennessee, to discuss whether they would assassinate President John F. Kennedy. Hosted by Vanderbilt students, the group members came from different colleges across the South. The young men were well educated, entitled to their positions at hand, and, like others who came before them, their soiled minds were limitless. They came from elitist old southern families that laughed at boundaries, especially political ones. For them, rising to the top was simple and utterly possible if you followed the core rules of the Blue Eyes Club and the nine members overseeing the group—the Murder Board: bring your best idea to the Murder Board; successfully sell your best to the other eight; get it approved; and then pull it off. Pulling it off successfully means rising to the center position on the Board, and that is when the good life supposedly begins. This story is about one of those nine who rose to the center position, his family, and the poisoned legacy he left behind.
