Excerpt of Battered Mind Hidden Scars...


Excerpt of Battered Mind Part one:

The Scars of my past


As I sit here and wonder about my life, I am confused as to what led me to this 

place.   I mean am I supposed to know why everyone is looking at me like I am 

some sort of monster.    I look at all of my surroundings, and I have no 

recollection of anything.   So why am I here?  Can Someone please tell me?


Oh you know why you are here!”  “You can’t deny it anymore!”


Huh? Who Said that?  Goodness on top of   being confused, now I am going nuts 

also!  



“Come on Sadie!”  Own up to it!”   

Who freaking said that?  Answer me!  Well I thought I heard something, but I 

guess I am just letting all of this get to me now.    


“Sadie, you know you killed him! “ You know you did!”

Stop!  Stop!  Come on I am tired!   Please leave me alone!

Excerpt : John Marshall Law School

The day finally arrived.  I  was going to be attending John Marshall Law School in Atlanta.    This was one of the proudest moments of my father’s life.   He was absolutely thrilled, that his  only child, a daughter had been accepted.    This made my father very happy and he just thought  it was so poetic, that I would soon be a member of such an elite group as he was.  After all, my father Jackson Martin had been an alumni of John Marshall Law School and  maintained a perfect 4.0 gpa and had been one of the top in his class.   He always wanted  to keep his legacy going and now all eyes were on me.    I was excited in being able to finally start at John Marshall so that I could finally have my  freedom or so I thought. You see my father did not like the fact that I had chosen to live with my boyfriend Dante  Caryle.  He was furious and always had his reservations about our relationship.   To say that my father and I were at a crossroads

Shades of a Battered Mind by: Sylvia Stein

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a tease of my upcoming book which I am working very hard on:  This is my WIP: I hope you enjoy! Shades of a Battered Mind  by Sylvia Stein  Chapter 1   “ The Normal Life “ As I lie here holding on to my sanity.   I have to say never in a million years would I have thought all would turn out the way it did.   You see for most of my life I had been searching and hoping that one day I would find the one  and be able to finally lead a “ normal life.”  However nothing could be farther from the truth.  My name is Sadie Martin Carlyle and  on May 27, 2010 I was charged with the murder of my husband Dante Carlyle.   The thing that makes this so horrific is that  I do not even remember  committing the crime.    All I know is that when I awoke the next morning,  My husband Dante was dead and I was found  next to his body and the murder weapon.   As of now all I can do is await my trial which will not be for a few months.   Sadly
