I KILLED MY MOTHER TO BE PERFECT

James Conor, a seemingly perfect 12-year-old prodigy with a hidden, dark side. Raised by his single mother, Rebecca, James has been pushed since childhood to excel in every aspect of his life. His mother's obsession with perfection has molded James into a brilliant but emotionally detached young boy who struggles with severe OCD and a latent psychopathic nature. He lives in a world of control, counting numbers obsessively, repeating actions, and hiding his true feelings behind a façade of normalcy. James harbors an intense, secret crush on Charles, a classmate who remains oblivious to James' feelings. When his affection for Charles is met with rejection and cruelty, James’ fragile mind unravels. Consumed by a need for control and fueled by years of emotional neglect, James spirals into a path of violence, culminating in the brutal murder of Charles. But this is only the beginning. As James' manipulative behavior escalates, he grows increasingly confident in hiding his crimes from the world. However, his mother starts to suspect something is wrong, and when she confronts him about his disturbing behavior, James spins a web of lies and deceit. As the tension between mother and son mounts, Rebecca begins to fear for her own safety, but it is already too late. Silent Patterns explores the disturbing psychology of a child who is pushed beyond the limits of his innocence, revealing the cracks in a seemingly perfect life. As James battles with his need for control, he becomes a reflection of the trauma and manipulation his mother inflicted upon him—leading to an explosive and tragic finale

My Best Friend is a Hybrid

It’s the year 2073, and everything has changed. New high-tech dominates almost all aspects of life. However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister. That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late? Warning: the photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!!!

In Tomodachi, Motosaki Izuna, an 18-year-old American-Japanese military child, transfers to the prestigious Matsugaya High in Japan, eager to reconnect with his roots and finish his final year of high school. Little does he know, his arrival coincides with the onset of a sinister curse—the Tomodachi Curse—an ancient evil that thrives on the bonds of friendship. As Motosaki reunites with his childhood best friend, Aisha Ayami, he quickly forms close ties with Aisha and her four friends: the shy but insightful Rebecca Haruna, the fiery and competitive Emma Chisaka, the serene yet fragile Otsuki Nagagami, and the proud, wealthy Naomi Suzuki. While the group enjoys their time together, a hidden darkness looms. The Tomodachi, a vengeful yokai spirit, preys on the girls’ relationships, driving them to betray one another in a twisted quest for love.

Each wrong choice results in the brutal erasure of a girl from existence, leaving Motosaki in a cycle of despair as he is repeatedly thrust back in time with no memory of the girls he lost. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Motosaki confronts the chilling nature of the Tomodachi Curse and the darkness it brings out in his friends. With each iteration, he grows more determined to save them, piecing together clues and forming new bonds while battling the mounting psychological terror. However, as the curse intensifies, the Tomodachi becomes bolder, taunting Motosaki with haunting memories and manipulating his perceptions of friendship and love. In a desperate bid to save his friends and end the torment once and for all, Motosaki must navigate a treacherous path filled with heartbreak and sacrifice. As the festival approaches, he faces a harrowing choice: risk losing everything by confronting the Tomodachi directly or accept his own tragic fate in an effort to secure a happier ending for those he loves. -------------- To all who know what my novel Shokyo is, this is a reimagined version of my first horror/thriller story, Shokyo!
