The age of the Roaring Twenties is marred by the outcome of the Civil War. The victory of the South marked the beginning of a new political regime: slavery is thriving, and the judge needs but one thing-the 'Slave Theory'-in order to deprive an innocent man of all rights of property, and to condemn him to penal servitude.
Steven Keyle, a disgraced abolitionist and convicted criminal, finds himself in the very heart of a vast political conspiracy, while trying to unravel the dark mystery surrounding his owner.

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
The Collar Is Back (Systematic Slavery)
In the year 2200, the world is spotles, cities gleam with perfection, and technology serves every citizen-but beneath the surface lies a system of quiet control. Every person wears a collar-not just a device, but a symbol of ownership, obedience, and systemic oppression disguised as order. When a robot nurse tries to kidnap a newborn girl, it sparks a fire in Trump, a tired but unbreakable worker, and Jane, a rebellious rockstar mother. As the city's robotic police hunt for scapegoats, and 10 babies vanish without a trace, one man-Nine, a collar-hacking priest with a buried past-begins cracking the system open from within. This isn't freedom. This is slavery reborn, upgraded, and sanitized. The collar is back. And this time-it's personal.
