Charleston, SC, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orphaned at birth, Johnny B cried on the steps of the hospital as his mother watched on from the foliage. His life—which started with struggle—would only get harder.
Johnny B was taken in by a Catholic orphanage in the City and raised by nuns—but ended up in an asylum as he neared adulthood. Despite the nuns’ affection, he’d grown up… different. “Imaginary friends” didn’t pass with age, and some worried he may end up harming himself or others if not properly cared for.
When diagnosed with schizophrenia, the world Johnny knew began to crumble as his institutionalization stripped him of his individuality. He then finds himself on the harsh streets that were once his cradle.
Alone, homeless, and challenged by the sheer will to survive, he adapts. But for how long can he survive on the knife’s edge?
“[Siked] takes the reader into the flow of psychology and gives them a twist at the end. Is it possible for these events to take place? Well…” Samuel said, “I will let the readers decide.”
A riveting blend of suspense, drama, romance, and comedy that encapsulates the paradox of existence, Siked is a stunning adult fiction debut.
Siked is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com and soon to be available on Audible. For more information about the author, please visit any of his social media platforms
