"When I face writer’s block, I step away from the page and go talk to people. Conversations have a way of sparking ideas, offering new perspectives, and reigniting creativity. Everyone has a story, and sometimes, hearing someone else’s experiences or thoughts is exactly what I need to break through the wall. It’s in those genuine, unscripted moments with others that I often find inspiration lurking, waiting to be woven into my work. Writer’s block isn’t a dead end—it’s an invitation to explore the world beyond your desk."

"The best thing about being a writer is the power of your words. As a writer, you have the ability to bring stories to life—stories that need to be told and heard, stories that can move people, inspire change, and give a voice to the truths hidden in the shadows. Writing allows you to connect with readers on a deeply human level, creating worlds and emotions that linger far beyond the final page.
And perhaps the most profound part of being a writer is the legacy it leaves. Long after we’re gone, our words remain, etched in the hearts of readers and preserved for generations to come. Our stories outlive us, carried forward even when we’re encased in stone. Writing isn’t just storytelling; it’s immortality."

"My advice for aspiring writers is simple: love what you do. Writing isn’t just about creating stories; it’s about living them, breathing life into them, and letting them consume you. If you’re writing for money, you’re starting with the wrong motive. Do it because you have a story that needs to be told—because the words inside you demand to be heard.
Writing is about embracing the power of your words. They have the ability to heal, inspire, and reveal truths that others are too afraid to face. Don’t shy away from the dark corners of your mind; often, that’s where the most compelling stories are hiding. Write with authenticity. Pour your pain, joy, fears, and dreams onto the page. Raw emotion will resonate with readers far more than anything perfect or polished ever could.
Don’t fear failure. Rejection, critique, and missteps are simply chapters in your own journey as a writer. Every experience, every emotion, every moment of doubt fuels your growth and strengthens your craft.
Above all, write because it matters to you. Write boldly, fearlessly, and unapologetically. When you write from a place of passion, the rest will follow."

"I became inspired to write at a very young age, captivated by the idea that words hold immense power. Words are wisdom; they are knowledge, and with them comes the ability to shape minds, provoke thought, and inspire change. Writing became my outlet, my way to make sense of the world’s chaos, and my weapon against its darkness.
Growing up, I realized that stories—especially the ones that lingered in shadows—had a way of revealing truths people often ignore. The idea that a single sentence could move someone to tears, or a single paragraph could spark courage, fascinated me. Writing allows me to create worlds where justice isn’t always black and white, and the characters, much like us, fight to find meaning in their struggles.
Every experience I’ve had—whether as a forensic psychologist, a correctional officer, or simply a human navigating loss and resilience—has fueled my need to write. My stories come from a place of reflection and transformation, exploring how the power of words can both destroy and heal. Writing isn’t just something I do; it’s how I breathe."

"My stories come from the shadows of real life—moments most people would rather forget. The Forgotten Files was born from the dark corners of my time in the criminal justice system, where the line between right and wrong often blurred into nothingness. It started with a question that kept me awake at night: What if the truth we’re told is just a convenient lie?
I’ve seen cases that don’t add up, files that vanish, and tragedies that feel too orchestrated to be accidents. Those lingering doubts—the ones you bury deep because they’re too unsettling to face—became the backbone of this story. Twisting real-life events into dark fiction allows me to dig into the things we fear most: betrayal, corruption, and the terrifying idea that the people we trust might be the ones pulling the strings.
The Forgotten Files isn’t just a story; it’s a descent into the kind of reality we hope doesn’t exist but secretly know does. Every detail is rooted in a truth I’ve seen or heard—only twisted into something far more sinister. After all, the scariest fiction is the kind that might just be real."

“Did you really think you were safe?”
Tina S. Transformation thought she had left the shadows of her past behind. A forensic psychologist with years in the criminal justice field, she’s no stranger to the darkness of the human mind—or the broken system that houses it. But when a cryptic letter arrives on her desk, referencing an inmate’s suicide from years ago, Tina is thrust into a nightmare that forces her to confront the cracks in her own memory and the terrifying secrets buried in her files.
Case #49217 was supposed to be closed. The inmate’s death was ruled a suicide, and Tina’s evaluation sealed his fate. But someone knows the truth: it wasn’t suicide. As Tina digs into the case, unsettling discoveries lead her to Ravenwood Correctional Facility, an abandoned prison shrouded in rumors of unethical experiments and silenced inmates. Each clue takes her deeper into a conspiracy that ties the inmate’s death to her own life—and to her late husband, whose suicide may not have been what it seemed.
Tina’s investigation unravels everything she thought she knew about her career, her family, and herself. Missing evidence, erased memories, and chilling recordings hint at a sinister organization pulling the strings from the shadows. The closer Tina gets to the truth, the more she realizes that she was never just an observer—she was a part of it.
Dark, gripping, and relentlessly suspenseful, The Forgotten Files explores the blurred lines between justice and corruption, memory and manipulation, and the horrifying cost of uncovering the truth.
Some mysteries are better left unsolved.
