Writers Block: A Psychological Crime Thriller

By D. Alan Morgan

Every novelist creates a world of secrets. Jim Hayes has spent a lifetime hiding his own.

In Charleston, South Carolina, successful author Jim Hayes appears to have everything: a writing career, a beautiful home, a devoted wife, and a family that believes in him. But beneath his carefully constructed life lies a past he has never truly escaped.

When unsettling events begin disturbing the quiet routines of his household, Jim finds himself struggling to maintain control. His marriage grows strained, his behavior becomes increasingly unpredictable, and the distinction between the stories he writes and the secrets he keeps begins to blur.

Detective JD Mercer is no stranger to deception. But as a disturbing investigation draws him toward Jim's world, he discovers that appearances can conceal far more than ordinary lies. Every conversation raises questions. Every explanation hides another possibility. And the closer Mercer gets to the truth, the more dangerous that truth becomes.

For Jim, protecting his carefully crafted existence may require choices from which there is no return.

For Mercer, uncovering what lies beneath the surface could be only the beginning.

Writer's Block launches The Deadliest Draft, a four-book psychological crime thriller series exploring obsession, deception, murder, and the devastating consequences of secrets.
