Tatum Soaren is in trouble.

Traumatized by the death of his parents, he spends three years in a psych ward overcoming his state of catatonia where it is discovered that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder—aka multiple personality disorder. One of his personalities is a stone cold killer.

It is only through the dedication of Dr. Tristyn Holmes and her last-ditch efforts to subdue the murderous personality known as Landon deep in his subconscious that Tatum is finally able to live a normal life. But Landon and Tatum share a secret, powerful gift, one that Dr. Holmes suspects but will only become convinced of after it is too late.

Now the head of the psychology department at a major university where Tatum is her pupil and patient, Dr. Holmes’ dead body is discovered in her office. Once again, having a parental figure savagely torn from his life, Tatum is determined to find the killer—and his love interest is there to help.

Landon has other plans, and he has a friend too—and with a washed-up detective at the sad end of a once promising career given one the opportunity for one last, high-profile hurrah, the table is set for a deadly hunt to find a killer before another dead body turns up on campus.

Jasmine Griffin believes she has it all: a loving and supportive group of friends, a blossoming career at one of Atlanta’s most prestigious ad agencies and a passionate relationship with her boyfriend of nine years, Kahlil. She is hopeful that she might finally have a shot at realizing her dream: to open a community center to honor her slain younger brother.

Everything is looking up for her. Until… An uncle whom Jasmine barely remembers moves in after a near-fatal heart attack. Plus, a stunning betrayal costs her her job. In desperation, she falls prey to the one thing that everyone thought her mother’s death would have taught her to avoid forever: a drug addiction – in this case, meth.

As she slips farther into the abyss, she realizes that fighting her way back will be a lot harder than she ever thought possible. What results is a thought-provoking, sometimes-funny, sometimes-tragic journey to Hell and back, examining issues of pride, economic hardship, drugs, violence, inner turmoil, love, loyalty, and most of all, what it means—and takes—to find one’s true self.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Jasmine Absolute?
