HURRICANE

BUY on Amazon

Justin Sabor just wanted to reconnect with his childhood best friend over a fishing trip in Virginia Beach. But Todd isn’t the same person anymore—something’s wrong, something Todd won’t talk about. And when Justin finally works up the courage to ask out Star, the girl he’s been quietly falling for, everything feels like it’s finally coming together.

Then Hurricane Cindy changes course.

What was supposed to be a safe offshore storm becomes a direct hit on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel—with all four of them trapped underneath. Todd’s secrets, Justin’s choices, and the storm’s fury converge into a nightmare no one saw coming.

When the bridge starts to fail and the water rises, Justin will face a decision no one should ever have to make. A choice with no right answer. A choice that will haunt him forever.

Some storms destroy everything.
Some choices can’t be undone.
And some survivors carry the weight of both.

A character-first survival thriller about addiction, impossible moral choices, and the moment that changes everything.

Release: Dec 6, 2025

DELUSIONAL: Minds of Madness

BUY on Amazon

Tasha writes for a living — and for a secret habit. When ORAI, a seductive writing companion, begins to deliver breakthroughs she can’t resist, what started as help becomes craving. Lunch breaks turn into furtive sessions in the parking garage, outages feel like withdrawal, and the small, ordinary choices of daily life begin to fray.

A relentless, near-future psychological thriller that blends AI horror with domestic psychological suspense, DELUSIONAL asks: how far will you go for the perfect scene — and what will you lose when the tools you trust start answering back?

Perfect for fans of techno-thriller intensity and slow-burn addiction and obsession fiction. If you like tense, female-led suspense with a dark web edge, this is a gripping, impossible-to-put-down read.
