The Grand Illusion: The Art of Power, Manipulation, and Deception by NolanAFrancis
16 parts Ongoing
Power is an illusion-crafted, shaped, and imposed by those who understand its nature. It does not belong to the strongest or the loudest but to those who control perception. You believe you are free, that your choices are your own, but are they? Every thought, every desire, every fear has been influenced, shaped by unseen forces. This book is not a comfort. It will not reassure you. Instead, it will reveal what has been hidden-the mechanics of control, the psychology of manipulation, the subtle hands that guide your every move. The greatest trick of power is making you believe you were never controlled at all. Look around. The world is built on carefully designed illusions. Politics is not about governance but persuasion. Business is not about value but influence. Even love, friendship, and loyalty are bound by unspoken power dynamics. Every interaction is a game-some play it, others are played. The most skilled manipulators do not force decisions; they guide them. They do not impose their will; they make you believe it was your own. True influence is invisible, a whisper rather than a command. Fear, desire, guilt, admiration-these are the strings that pull at the human mind, and those who master them control everything. But this book is not just about them-it is about you. You have been shaped, controlled, deceived. And whether you realize it or not, you have done the same to others. Now the question is: will you remain blind, or will you learn to see? Welcome to "The Grand Illusion: The Art of Power, Manipulation, and Deception". The choice has always been yours... or so you've been led to believe.

*DISCLAIMER* READ AT YOUR OWN RISK: This book deals with serious topics and themes of drug use, PTSD, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. This book contains realistic depictions of opioid use. Recovered and recovering addicts should proceed with caution. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The 12 Steps is a gripping Young Adult novel that follows twin brothers Lincoln and Liam as they navigate the weight of trauma, addiction, and family fractures. Lincoln, a high school senior, is seven months sober and struggling to reconnect with a life that feels just out of reach. He wants to move forward but fears where the future might lead. Liam, also a senior, buries his pain beneath a reckless façade, desperate to outrun the past that haunts him. While one brother fights for control, the other refuses to acknowledge his own unraveling. When a life-altering incident shakes their already fragile bond, Lincoln and Liam must confront long-buried secrets, painful truths, and the damage that has fractured their family. The 12 Steps is a powerful story of resilience, healing, and the journey toward forgiveness-both of others and of oneself. "...there were a lot of things I was forced to learn and that made me resent my family for it. One of them is the fact that I learned more about family at rehab than I ever did when I was home." - Lincoln "I always had this plan. A plan where I would graduate high school with the highest GPA, get a full-ride baseball scholarship to Stanford University, and then work my way to the major league baseball teams. It was a plan I had made with Lincoln when we were younger. A dream we shared to play baseball together. A dream that died when he overdosed." - Liam
Shadows of the Past by wickedempire

"Shadows of the Past" follows the harrowing journey of Ethan Blackwood, a man battling the demons of his past while struggling to navigate an uncertain present. Set against the backdrop of small-town life and haunted by broken relationships, lost family, and personal failures, Ethan's story is one of survival, resilience, and the fight to rebuild after everything has fallen apart. This is book one. Trigger Warnings: This book contains themes and depictions of trauma, childhood abuse, substance abuse, loss of a parent, toxic relationships, manipulation, emotional and psychological distress, and mental health struggles. Reader discretion is advised. "Shadows of the Past" is a deeply personal project for me. Though this work is fictional, many of the events, emotions, and experiences portrayed are drawn closely from my own life. Writing this book has been both a cathartic and challenging process, allowing me to explore and process difficult chapters of my past. While some characters and events are products of fiction, others are reflections of real-life experiences that I have faced. In the same way, the protagonist's journey is a mixture of truth and imagination, offering both insight into the real struggles of those facing emotional battles and the power of storytelling to find meaning in pain. For the sake of privacy, all names have been changed, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental. The first book in this story is now complete, and as you read it, I hope it resonates with anyone who has faced their own shadows and is seeking a way through. Thank you for joining me on this journey. - Chris D.

"...This is a story about addictions and how you never really get over them, you just get better at hiding them. It's about overdosing on your convictions and the affliction you bestow upon others without a care. It's about loving someone so much that the thought of them tortures your soul but you continue to seek that in exchange to feel. To feel something other than your sober mind as you sit in a wallow of shame in a cold bathtub, wondering just how your brother felt when he took his life in this very same room. This, is the Imperial Afflictions of A Sober mind." BEFORE YOU READ. This book will talk about drug abuse, sex, domestic violence, rape, alcohol abuse, murder, anxiety, self-harm among other things. If you are triggered by any of the above, this is not the book for you. Take care of yourself.
