Writing has always been my way of honoring the unheard, the unseen, and the misunderstood. While Delusional Madness was born from a deep desire to shed light on forgotten voices of the past, my passion doesn’t end there.
Here’s a glimpse at the stories currently taking shape behind the scenes:
📘The Sentence He Shared
The Sentence He Shared
Upcoming Novel
Dirk thought he understood what a sentence was. Years in a cell. A courtroom’s decision. A single act that could not be undone. When his wife dies by his hands and the system offers him an impossible choice, he chooses the island. A place built not for arrivals, but for endings. A place where criminal fathers can keep their children with them. He tells himself it is mercy. He tells his daughters it is an accident. He does not tell them the truth.
The island does not shout its rules. It whispers them. A sound that answers their footsteps. A path that narrows when they hesitate. A presence that never fully shows itself, but always knows where they are. As supplies dwindle and the jungle closes in, Dirk believes he is learning how to keep his girls alive. He teaches Willow to watch. He teaches Sasha to move quietly. He believes caution keeps them safe. The island is learning too. Not what they say, but how they adapt. How much they will give up. How long a child can carry fear before it becomes who she is.
By the time Dirk understands that the island is not judging him, but studying his daughters, the damage is already inside them. Willow, treated as his second pair of eyes, stops asking questions and starts thinking like the system itself. Sasha learns that it is easier for everyone when she erases her needs before anyone has to notice them. The true horror is not what lurks in the forest, but what settles inside a child when a world built on control mistakes survival for consent. As the island finishes its observation and quietly disengages, Dirk faces the choice he has been running from since the night of his wife’s death: will he continue the sentence the island began, or will he finally tell his daughters the truth that might break them both free?
