“The Blackbird” Phoenix Merlo is only a boxer by title, for someone who throws fights for money barely deserves such an honor. For the sake of appeasing his debts, he’s sacrificed his chances at true happiness, all because of one mistake he’s never let go of. What follows is a never-ending cycle of success and failure, rebirth and self-destruction—trapping the Blackbird in an impenetrable cage.
Questioning the meaning of his life, Phoenix desperately tries to find the moment that would make it all worth it—the moment that will finally make him feel special. And in order to break out of the cage, the Blackbird will do anything… even break his own wing.
The story of Everybody’s Special is an existentialist tale of violent proportions, combining the thought-provoking essence of philosophy with the bloody realism of boxing and mixed martial arts.
Earth has experienced a great cataclysm, and the world has changed. Magic, creatures, and races long vanished have reappeared. Deities absent from the old world have joined together to save Earth, and have created a new world order. And the Amersian Age has begun.
Drayton has been elevated to a new position in the Church of the Six. His leadership has given him the task to investigate an attack on one of their temples. What was meant to be a simple investigation turns into a conspiracy that threatens the nation.

Can’t anyone in this family tell the truth?
Young Mickey is determined to uncover the secrets his mother, Dixie Mae, and his family have long hidden. He relentlessly exposes the murky past of two families through three generations entangled by marriage, betrayal, and violence. But in trying to protect his brother and mother from the brutal man who raised him, Mickey does something he fears God can never forgive.
Mike E Reynolds weaves a jarring yet moving 1950’s and 1960’s coming of age story set in a small town near Florida’s Apalachicola River swamp and the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys. Filled with grit and grace, this riveting tale reminds us that faith and forgiveness are ultimately more powerful than the darkness within.
“Mike Reynolds makes a bold showing that clearly places him at the forefront of his generation by authentically capturing the Southern culture in which he grew up. What a great conclusion to a riveting journey.” –Duane K Estill, Minister, Author of A Tin Can Cosmos
“Mike Reynolds has crafted a taut and tense narrative peopled with characters each wrestling with the peculiar demons of violence, loss, and identity. Well written, compelling, and ultimately uplifting.” –Greg Fields, author of Through the Waters and the Wild, and Winner of the 2022 Independent Press Award for Literary Fiction
“A riveting tale of family secrets and unhealed trauma. Reynolds gives us an often difficult yet inspiring story that demonstrates human resilience in the face of trauma.” –Janyne McConnaughey PhD, Trauma-informed author of Trauma in the Pews, Brave, Brave Childhood, and A Brave Life
“The street level writing is not for the easily offended. Then again, neither is the Bible. This is humanity in God’s unblinking spotlight. Darkness Dwells in Dixie is well worth the time.”
–Jerry Wilson, author of God’s Not Dead (And Neither Are We), and host of “Cephas Hour”
“Darkness Dwells in Dixie is a gripping story full of real character- and emotion-driven storytelling. The historical and cultural context Reynolds provides audiences offers an intense read. Definitely a book worth reading!” –Garrett K. Jones, author of The Archives of IcÃnq-Régn
My Very Dear Reader…
If the Universe, Buddha, Jesus, God, or whatever your religion, came together to get this book into your hands, your understanding of the complex world of mental illness will be more advanced, so congratulations!
Any person regardless of religion, nationality, color, or economic power is subject to this disease or its different symptoms, who can also fall into the mistake of believing that absurd, erroneous behavior or outside of what is socially accepted, is part of the personality.
The taboo that currently exists is still bestial, where patients are treated, judged and punished as normal people, that is, with their functional mental capacities. The lack of education in this regard, and the same taboo that has always existed in history, has brought a lot of pain and fatalities in families and societies.
This book describes more than six decades of the author's life where surviving was her only option. The goal is to raise awareness and put into practice in an open, direct and firm way the issue of mental imbalances, and that these issues can be discussed in casual and normal conversations rather than hiding or being ashamed of reality. Or what is worse, attack those people who need help, judge them or abandon them.
Not everyone is ignorant of mental illness, many do nothing about it, even use it for their own interests. So, dear reader, whatever her position, it will benefit her to understand this issue that affects us all equally. These people roam the streets, we either have them at work or certainly in our government.
The most real knowledge about mental imbalances can help you make more calm decisions about yourself, your family and definitely society and your government.
A big hug and deep gratitude from the author for taking her time to light her path and that of others.
Book Review:
This book takes us by the hand to a world where we are shown the harsh reality with which many people have to fight who, although they have a voice and ask for help, are not listened to, or worse still, are ignored or discarded. It sensitizes you, makes you reflect and makes you question how much you are part of the problem or the solution. But it also teaches you something else: it's never too late to learn to heal or make amends. It teaches you to love your past and to have hope in your future, because everything described in this book, and the purpose of having created it, are born from the feeling of love and hope, even after the painful path traveled.

It’s the 1993 L.A. music scene, complete with drugs, parties, alcohol and women, but twenty-seven-year-old Cory Scott is only interested in one thing. The success of his band Suicide King. His best friend died trying to make it happen and Cory will stop at nothing to make their rock star dream a reality. When infamous music legend Alexandra Blake agrees to produce their debut album, all Cory has to do is keep the band together and keep her interested in them long enough to finish the album. Simple enough. Until he meets Alexandra. With one glance at her everything else becomes secondary. Cory becomes so self-absorbed that his bandmates are barely a thought. Jesse’s girlfriend is cheating on him, and Trent’s drug use is bordering on dangerous, but Cory's focus on Alexandra is all-consuming. The deeper he falls for her-and she falls for him-the more torn Cory becomes. When his world comes crashing down will Cory be forced to choose between the bandmates who depend on him, the music he thought he was there for, and the woman he needs more than air in his lungs?

Childhood should be a time of love, safety, and security. Childhood shouldn’t be hard. But for Dr. Christopher Smith, what shouldn’t have been was.
Raised with ten other children in what some suggest is one of the happiest states in the nation, Chris’ Utah childhood was extraordinarily chaotic: plagued by poor decisions of dysfunctional parents, void of even the pretense of financial security, constantly on the move when angry landlords served eviction papers, and devastated by the death of a younger brother. Chris struggled with the deep emotions of this tumultuous life leading him to nearly take his own life at 12 years of age.
Frequent visits to the library took him to worlds far away from the terrible life he endured. Yet the joy found in fictional worlds of wonder proved fleeting when Chris’ family was kicked out of a rental home in mid-winter with no alternate accommodations to be found. Chris’ life reached its nadir as he was forced to spend his nights in an unheated car, where freezing to death in his sleep seemed a welcome option.
Despite being homeless, Chris earned a scholarship to college and married Teena, his soulmate. Although they soon learned that life still had many serious challenges to throw at them, they prospered together and overcame trial after trial, including being victims of identity theft by Chris’ parents and health issues that nearly ended Teena’s life. They adopted two children and had three more of their own. Chris was accepted to medical school and overcame all odds to become a resident physician at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital, eventually becoming a faculty member as a practicing physician. His knack for medicine, strength of will and tenacity for learning led him to become a successful radiologist.
This is the story of Dr. Christopher Smith, the raw and deeply personal account of his journey—From Homeless to Hopkins.
