BETRAYAL OF THE SOUL

One man’s psychological battle against himself

Expected publication - July 2026

Johnny Tinder is the epitome of being one's own worst enemy. Indeed, the handsome, yet ill-starred former local journalist and would-be private investigator wages a personal battle against himself amid a life of emotional turmoil, existential struggle, regrettable misdemeanours, and long-term despair. As with many other poor souls, Johnny’s life had been mapped out for him by negative events that occurred during childhood and throughout his adolescent years.

Now in his late forties, Johnny finally realises it is time to step back, reflect, and work out how to change his ways. He doesn't like the person he has become. Johnny has never forgotten Catherine, a girl he describes as ‘the love of my life’, whom he unceremoniously dumped some twenty years earlier. He wants to put things right, but he feels his long-lost love will almost certainly reject him if he attempts to re-enter her life. In a harrowing twist, he faces a situation far, far worse than that!

PROGRESS UPDATE:

Publication scheduled for Tuesday, 14 July; however, this date may be brought forward!
