Psychological Tech Thrillers
The Treatment Room
A psychologist goes undercover to clear his name. By the time he finds the truth, he can’t be sure what’s real anymore.
Perfect for fans of John Marrs and Black Mirror, this psychological thriller blurs the line between therapy and manipulation.
When a patient credits his therapist, Lucas O’Rourke, for guiding his murders, Lucas’s career ends overnight. Suspended and branded the psychologist who shaped a killer, he refuses to accept it.
Buried in his case notes is a detail he once dismissed. His client was also receiving immersive virtual reality therapy at Pinnacle Therapeutics. To find the truth, Lucas goes in as a patient himself. The sessions are unlike anything he’s experienced. And despite every sign he’s losing himself, he’s convinced he’s one step closer to proving his innocence.
His sister Amara, an investigative journalist, is chasing the suspicious death of a neuroscientist. She discovers a connection to Pinnacle that hits closer to home than any story she’s ever pursued. As she gets closer to the truth, she can’t tell whether she’s the one doing the investigating or the one being manipulated.
Two people hunting for the same answer. One of them doesn’t know they’re already part of the experiment.
The World Of The Genesis Project
The Genesis Project (Book 1)
The military found a way to rewrite soldiers’ nightmares and defuse PTSD. Nobody had anticipated how much power they were giving the editor.
Sergeant Blake Powell, a former Delta Force operator, is recruited into the Genesis Project hoping to repair his broken marriage and find purpose closer to home. The project was designed to help veterans confront what haunts them, and at first, Blake believes in what it promises.
Then a senator is assassinated by a soldier who was supposed to be cured.
When the soldier is linked to the Genesis Project, one question becomes impossible to ignore: did the treatment heal him, or turn him into something else?
As Blake delves deeper, the line between therapy and manipulation begins to blur. The technology designed to heal soldiers may have been reprogrammed for something else entirely, and the people behind it don’t leave loose ends.
Blake’s family may be the next loose end.

As floodwaters rise and mysterious personalities lurk in the shadows, Clara rediscovers the passion and danger that first ignited their romance.
From daring humanitarian supply runs to heart-stopping escapes, Clara’s journey forces her to confront not just the forces of nature, but the nature of her own heart.

After investigators fail to break her silence, the team behind Genesis, a breakthrough PTSD treatment system, offers a radical alternative: using their nightmare-altering technology to extract information from her dreams.
For Captain David Guarnere, leading the Genesis mission means navigating both tactical and psychological warfare. As he infiltrates Kurov’s dreams, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving AI weapons and the mysterious Prometheus Guild. But his growing connection to Kurov threatens everything.
The clock is ticking. Thousands of lives hang in the balance. And in the battlefield of dreams, empathy might be the deadliest weapon of all.
