Eight Choices

Since I have eight book length manuscripts I could focus on, which do you like best?

ONE When The Music’s Over.
When The Music’s Over is a literary suspense novel with strong emotional stakes, centered on aging, regret, courage, and the long afterlife of missed chances.
At a rock venue dominated by the young, sixty-eight-year-old Ray Evans seems like a ghost from another era—lonely, overlooked, and carrying a photograph of himself as a teenager, proof that he once belonged to youth and possibility. When narrator Jim Thorpe strikes up a conversation with him, Ray begins to tell the story that has haunted his life and asks for Jim’s help in proving a hidden truth about women.
TWO Circle of Mysteries is an adventure-thriller with literary undertones about aging, identity, and rediscovering purpose through danger, intellect, and love.
Arthur Plumb, a once-legendary adventurer now living a quiet, sedentary life in New York City, gathers his family to reveal a shocking truth: his long-missing wife, Caroline, is alive—and she wants to be found.
A cryptic letter, sealed in wax and written in Caroline’s unmistakable voice, launches Arthur into a layered puzzle involving encrypted websites, hidden codes, and a mysterious network known only as “the Circle.” Each clue is carefully designed—not just to lead Arthur across continents, but to force him out of the safety and stagnation he has embraced since Caroline disappeared.
THREE The Circuit
The Circuit is a coming-of-age literary drama set against the neon-lit world of small-town car culture, where identity, love, and self-worth are tested at every turn of the circuit.
Marty Field is known for one thing: his pristine ’67 Barracuda. On Friday and Saturday nights, he cruises “The Circuit,” a mile-long loop where teens show off their cars, chase attention, and try to become someone worth noticing. Behind the wheel, Marty feels powerful, admired—even important. But outside the car, he struggles with insecurity, loneliness, and the fear that no one truly sees him.
When he meets the unpredictable and magnetic Tiffany Flash—who later reveals her real name is Alyssa—Marty is pulled into a volatile relationship built on attraction, illusion, and emotional risk.
FOUR Forbidden Truth follows Kent Karlson, a disillusioned journalist trapped in a collapsing media ecosystem where truth has been replaced by monetized deception. At The Sentinel, Kent is forced to write misleading advertorials disguised as journalism, promoting fraudulent products designed to exploit vulnerable readers. When his own neighborhood falls victim to a crypto scam known as the Crypto Profit Booster Bot, Kent begins investigating, only to uncover a vast, interconnected system of manipulation led by billionaire Stephen Biltmore.
After clicking on a suspicious ad, Kent is violently silenced by corporate enforcers, warned to abandon his investigation. Instead, he doubles down. With the reluctant help of fellow reporter Alice Durham and an unlikely coalition of neighbors—ordinary people who have been scammed and humiliated—Kent launches an independent investigation.

FIVE Bedtime Stories for the Awakened

Bedtime Stories for the Awakened is a psychological techno-thriller that explores the hidden systems shaping modern identity, trust, and power.
Nick Barnes is a successful, charismatic financial figure whose life appears meticulously constructed—until it is violently stripped away. After a mysterious encounter, Nick awakens to find his identity stolen, his wealth gone, and his place in the world replaced by another man who wears his life like a costume.Pulled into the orbit of a secretive organization resembling Skull and Bones, Nick discovers a deeper truth: his rise—and the catastrophic collapse of the company he helped build—were not accidents, but part of a larger engineered system. Beneath the surface of finance, politics, and social influence exists a predictive machine—the “sanctuary”—designed to model, shape, and manipulate human behavior at scale.
SIX Hate Triangle. A serious writer is stuck processing insurance claims. Can he pull himself out of the office hate culture before it breaks his spirit? Not if he can’t get up and convince a listening audience that he’s their man. Set in San Francisco with a significant comment on the level of self hate that leads to homelessness.

SEVEN Overmodulated
Overmodulated is a historical suspense/drama with a tech-philosophical edge, set during Prohibition in the 1920s.
A secret alliance between city officials transforms a speakeasy into a hidden intellectual proving ground, where gifted young minds are challenged to solve real engineering problems—potentially leading to the invention of television.
EIGHT Obsession.
Limerence is an involuntary state of intense romantic infatuation, obsession, and emotional dependency on another person (the "limerent object"), often characterized by intrusive thoughts, fear of rejection, and a desperate need for reciprocation. It is more severe than a crush, often lasting months or years, and involves significant emotional highs and lows based on the perceived interest of the LO.
Limerence often manifests through specific, intense behaviors and emotions and Intrusive Thinking: Constantly imagining scenarios, or replaying conversations, making it hard to focus on daily tasks.
