The total number of Pages in the Series thus far is approximately.>>> 3,241.
The total number of words to read in the six books is approximately.>>> 1.1 Million.
The acronym N.I.A. stands for the stigmatizing phrase The Napa Insane Asylum. I realize that term is passe, antiquated, and not politically correct any longer in this new era we are living within. Our society shuns words and phrases that are not deemed to be compassionate and empathetic to all people’s feelings. This predisposition of not judging people makes for an improved society. In my opinion, ‘IMO’ this is a net positive.
When I started formulating my first attempt at writing a book, I wanted it to be fun and exhilarating to read. I have been asked dozens of times what genre and themes can you find in the NIA Series of books. Well, I must confess I’m confused about which genre is best to label the first book, ‘Feral Eyes,’ when writing and dreaming up the characters, everything just flowed from my imagination, and my pen never stopped moving. It was like I was in Auto Drive. I never set out to choose a genre, but now in retrospect, I must categorize each book as being melded or merging through a gambit of genres. Here’s my best breakdown of each novel.
‘Feral Eyes’ was written originally based on ‘Fantasy,’ then morphed into Adventure Fiction, then moved into Crime Fiction; in the middle of the story, we visit ‘Mystery’ with intriguing characters. At the end of the story, Action Fiction/Military Fiction blends into some of the plots. There is a touch of Quirky Humor and Romance for sure to be had, along with natural jealousies. 😊. Although if I had to pick the prevalent genre, I’d call Feral Eyes, Fantasy, and Adventure Fiction. This book is rated PG-18.
‘Feral Eyes 2…’ This book brought out some of my inner demons, locked up in Prison in a wheelchair, an aggressive mantra that existed and, in many cases, is quite the opposite storyline from Feral Eyes. I developed unique characters to be… from my demented mindset. This book was written with a twisted, conniving, and sinister style that displays a warped sense of direction. Genres, Psychological Thriller, Fantasy Fiction, Action Fiction, Horror Fiction, Crime Fiction that is close to reality-based. This is a scary story that continues Wendi Feral’s life story, involving her menacing brother Mark Feral. This Book is rated PG 21.
‘Sara,’ Oh my SARA, this one breaks all molds. ☹If ‘Feral Eyes 2’ brought out inner demons, this book eviscerates all dignity and decency. Sara is a mess; this story is my favorite of the six. It is nothing like the first two books. There are so many curves that if this book were a road, it would be competition for the famous one-way block in San Francisco named the most crooked street in the world, ‘Lombard Street.’ Sara is absolutely an enigma and drips of vile contempt… ahhhh, enough. A pre-warning, this book isn’t to be read or listened to unless you’re a secure individual and can realize that fiction is not even as close to the evil that non-fiction can bring to our plates. Jeffery Dahmer, Harold Shipman, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, and Sara. The narrative in this story could be called a Psychological Thriller, Detective, Crime Fiction Thriller, Horror Fiction, Violence, and Twisted Mystery. This fast-paced story takes you down to the depths of human nature. Sara is plain Insane and best described as a wicked, deviant, and depraved woman. If you looked up Moral Turpitude, Sara maliciously would be staring right through You…. This book is rated PG-25.
‘Kam One,’ Sweet Kamryn Yep, she is definitely in a quagmire, slipping into Swampy Quicksand, uhm, can Kamryn survive? Unfortunately, I had to split Kam into two books because of the total number of words in this manuscript.
Kamryn found herself upside down, and she either fought for her sanity or regressed into the bowels of Hell. Kam is also in the same vein as Sara, so please read the above captions. Kam is a little easier on the reader’s Psyche, and she tries vainly to live by her standard of Integrity. This book is rated PG-23.
‘Kam Two,’ Kamryn’s story continues in the Psychological Thriller mode… Kam has to be ingenious in each and every move she makes. Kam has to Mastermind a way out of her purgatory, she has the strength of conviction, knowing that if goodness and righteousness win, then in the end, she will be standing outside the walls of inner turmoil, and her partitioned mind could be freed. Is there such a thing as Happily Ever After… I think not. This book follows the same genres as Sara and Kam One. This book is rated PG-19.
‘Covid-57,’ Without question, this manuscript breaks all the molds of the previous Five books. It is unlike all the rest of the story’s that I’ve written. I wrote this story during the 133 days I was quarantined in the Sacramento County Jail during the Covid-19 pandemic. I was in solitary confinement. The events of what happened to me will be detailed elsewhere. But suffice it to say I was locked up alone 24/7… and never left the Jail cell. At the beginning of Covid-19, paranoia was everywhere. I was locked down. I hadn’t a window, nor couldn’t see out the solid steel door. There was a slot in the door for food trays, but I didn’t see anyone; claustrophobia was always straining my senses. The jail cell was 48 square feet with dimensions of 6 feet by 8 feet. After a week of this mental torture, I made a deal under my door with a roving Trustee and received a couple of writing tablets and several pencils. I disappeared into my distraught mind and wrote Covid-57. My fingers would cramp up, but I kept insanity at wane, living in the narratives within the 711 Thousand words plus Saga Covid-57. ☹
‘Covid-57 Part One,’ Well, this manuscript has about everything like a Heinz-57 blend or call it a pot-porri mix or a miscellaneous fusion of genres. Here’s my overview… True Fiction, Crime Fiction Thriller, Quirky Romantic undertones, Psychological Thriller, Adventure Fiction, and Action Fiction, with Military Fiction. I guess you could toss in Science Fiction and Historical Fiction. This book is rated PG-18.
Okay, that’s the best that I can do at this time, describing the six books that are going to be released at the exact same time. The first two Feral Eyes novels are written to warm you up for what is to Cum. If you want to jump into the inferno, start with Sara and finish the double set of Kam books.
I printed out a few copies of the first five books for some Beta readers called ACR ‘Advanced Reader Copies’ I learned quickly that my manuscripts needed to be edited, geez, I had so many run-on sentences. Omg. They were filled with errors. I’m not promising that these will be close to perfect, but they’re the best I can do for now. I am the culpable person for any mistakes in these books. ☹.
Each of the six books in the NIA Series… share familiar characters, and they follow the theme that has been developed aligning with the hierarchy within NIA. These books make up my Debut in the publishing world. I am grateful and feel a sense of accomplishment. I hope that you enjoy these books. Thank you for your precious time.
