Insanity: The Novel

Insanity #1-4

by Omar Tyree

We are all just one step away.

Omar Tyree, best known for his gritty urban novels, depicting the sex and drama-filled lives of African-American women from Flyy Girl, For The Love of Money, Leslie and Diary of a Groupie - all New York Times bestsellers - returns to his female base with Insanity, a powerful modern day drama, uncovering the disastrous dark side of a woman with cold-hearted and seductive ambitions.

Queen Tillis-Thompson, a nympho wife, a calculating mother and a social climbing professional from the tough city streets of West Baltimore will stop at nothing in her rise to the top, even if it means sharing a few beds, stepping on friendly toes and smashing her enemy egos.
She boldly states, “Don’t underestimate me. If I need to be that -----, I will be. If I need to be that --, I will be that. And if I need to be a studious nerd, virgin or whatever to get what I need, then I will be that too.”

With unapologetic zeal, Queen uses her education, street smarts, banging body and her iron will to survive every challenge, while bull-dozing her way to the life she wants to live—all while using and abusing family members, friends and lovers without hesitation or sympathy. She wants what she wants by any means necessary…until it all falls apart.

With Insanity, Omar Tyree writes his final drama-filled urban tale with twists, turns and seduction in chapter after thrilling chapter. They don’t call her the “Queen” for nothing. Find out for yourself and SPREAD THE WORD! It’s the last urban hurrah for the legend of Omar Tyree.
