Book Description:

When Frank Devlin walks into Justin Wright's office, the renowned New York City psychiatrist decides to take on one of the most challenging cases of his career.

 GUEST POST 

Where Do My Twisted Ideas Come From?

People sometimes ask where I get the ideas for my psychological thrillers.

I usually tell them I have a dark and mysterious imagination. That sounds much better than admitting I spend an unreasonable amount of time wondering what could go wrong in perfectly ordinary situations.

A stranger enters an office. What could go wrong?

A family welcomes someone into its life. What could go wrong?

A psychiatrist decides he can help a deeply troubled patient.

You can probably see where this is heading.

The inspiration for ALTERED began with my fascination with the human mind and a simple question: What would happen if a psychiatrist took on a patient whose alternate personalities were not confined to the therapy room?

Frank Devlin comes to Dr. Justin Wright seeking help. Justin is caring, compassionate, and genuinely committed to his patients. He wants Frank to live a stable, fulfilling life. But Frank’s alters have needs, motives, and plans of their own—and Justin does not realize how closely his professional and personal worlds are beginning to overlap.

That is where many of my stories begin: not with a crime or a shocking twist, but with a question about people. How well can we really know someone? What happens when compassion overrides caution? Can a person make a completely understandable decision that leads to devastating consequences?

Once I have the central question, I begin building characters who will be forced to answer it under increasingly difficult circumstances. Then I add secrets, emotional complications, and enough trouble to make any sensible character consider changing his phone number and moving to another state.

The best inspiration often comes from ordinary human emotions—love, guilt, jealousy, fear, grief, and the desire to protect the people closest to us. Those feelings are familiar. What makes a thriller exciting is pushing them to an extreme and asking what someone might do when there is no painless choice left.

ALTERED became the first book in the Justin Wright Suspense Series because its consequences were too large to fit inside one novel. The later books follow the Wright family as old dangers return, buried truths surface, and new threats emerge from decisions made earlier in the series. Each installment expands the characters’ world while tightening the suspense, and readers often tell me that once they begin, they cannot put the books down.

Apparently, wondering what could go wrong has its advantages.

Book Title: JADED (JUSTIN WRIGHT SUSPENSE SERIES Book 2) by Rob Kaufman
Category:  Adult Fiction (18 +), 246 pages
Genre: Psychological Thriller, Suspense 
Publisher Rob Kaufman
Release date:  March 2023
Content Rating: PG-13 +M

Jade, a beautiful young woman suffering from depression and despair, is trying to escape her past… a former life that catches up with her during every full moon. Justin’s biggest obstacle to helping her is Jade herself. The closer he gets to the root of her problems, the further away she pushes him — leaving Justin questioning both her sincerity and his own professional skills.

As with “Altered”, this novel is packed with suspense and emotion, mainly due to people from Justin’s past, including Frank Devlin, the man who has made himself the bane of the Wright family’s existence.
Once again, readers are led down a road that keeps them wondering what is real, who did what, and when will Justin and his family finally find the peace they deserve?

Book Title: AVENGED (JUSTIN WRIGHT SUSPENSE SERIES Book 3) by Rob Kaufman
Category:  Adult Fiction (18 +), 256 pages
Publisher:  Rob Kaufman
Release date:  June 2023
Content Rating: PG-13 +M

SO MANY THINGS START TO MAKE SENSE IN "AVENGED" — BOOK 3 of the Justin Wright Suspense Series.
It all starts with Richard Davis, Justin's new patient seeking help for uncontrollable anger and hostility. He can barely walk a New York City street without exploding at the people around him. Can Justin relieve him of his negativity or is he too consumed with his own son Michael — a boy found after seven years in captivity who is now void of any compassion or joy?
As with the first two books, "Avenged" is teeming with emotion and suspense, not only because of Richard Davis and Michael's issues but because Frank Devlin and Jade continue to haunt Justin and Mandy from afar. As with all Rob Kaufman books, readers get the ride of their lives on a roller coaster of thrills and uncertainty until the very last page.

IT’S BEEN 15 YEARS SINCE JUSTIN’S NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, and life has changed dramatically for the Wright family.

Michael, now a psychologist, has a past that’s catching up with him at the same time an unsatisfied patient is planning his revenge. Justin, now practicing from his home office, has a patient consumed by the fear of death — a young man scared of just about everything — including fear itself.

As both father and son deal with their patients’ problems and their own internal challenges, they also struggle daily with Mandy’s health issue, a potentially deadly illness that threatens to take away the most important woman in their lives.

Like every other Justin Wright book, “Scared” brings you into a suspense-filled world loaded with emotion, uncertainty and, of course, mind games. It’s a story rife with complicated people, some who are not only vengeful, but scared — of both life...and death.
