CALM. DOWN. DEAR.

by Stacy Walsh

Sam wants what he believes most people want, acceptance, love, maybe even a commitment someday. When Sam meets Casey at Westside State University, he thinks he has found the perfect person to start his life with. Sam thinks he has found the woman of his dreams. Follow along with Sam through the years of his union with Casey within a world where the rules have changed. Men are no longer the more powerful gender; women have claimed that role. Explore what happens to Sam within this type of world when he chains himself to an unsafe partner. Experience how a society built on a power imbalance impacts all those that reside within it. How much can one person endure before they descend into madness? How much can one’s own self-worth be suppressed before they snap? Sam is about to find out.

About the author

In the 1980s, Stacy heard her mom say a sentence that would transform into a dream and eventually become her reality. Her mom told her, "I could see you becoming a writer." This statement sparked a possibility in Stacy's mind that would take years to develop into her passion. Fortunately, with the unwavering support of family and friends, the dream she had envisioned years earlier finally came to fruition.



In addition to her love of writing and reading, Stacy has a particular fondness for horror stories, which she incorporates into her work. Her books are published through a small independent publishing company called Solstice Publishing, and they encompass multiple genres, including psychological thrillers, mystery, drama, and, of course, horror!



When she isn't writing or scaring herself unnecessarily, Stacy enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, exploring their home state of Kansas City, or traveling and finding new adventures together. She loves connecting with her readers and sharing her passion for books with them!

very immaturely written and very repetitive imo. if i see one more unnecessary '!' I'll go crazy

Different point of view. I enjoyed how it shows gas lighting and why people struggle with co-dependency

[Makenzie Lyon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the concept of this book! The societal role reversal concept was something like I’ve never read before. The experiences between Sam and Casey could be seen by some as ‘extreme instances’ but it’s so real and tells the story of so many of those who are silenced and forced into their abusive relationships.

Great, quick read!
