The Looney Bin

About The Looney Bin

The Looney Bin offers a VIP trip behind the doors of a ‘unique’ mental health clinic. This story is not about patients. It is about the clinic’s healers daily struggling to maintain their own stability while dealing with their patients’ emotional issues and coping with their neurotic colleagues.
Meet smug psychiatrist, Jack Rackham whose veneer of self-control crumbles when a tragic patient suicide shatters his illusion of being a master of his fate and propels him into a realm of self-duplicity, disillusionment cutting him off from the people and work he loves.
Other quirky clinic staff members, each lugging emotional baggage the size of a steamer-trunk, daily remind themselves that they are just fine. You’ll meet the rigid religious zealot, Felicity Steele, concealing a deep, long-held secret behind her Bible and the rebel therapist, Hester Snopes, who employs Tarot cards and communicates with the dead in her ‘special’ therapy sessions. There’s also Maximo Hernandez, a psychopathic sexual predator in whom the DEA has a more than passing interest. And there’s passive, over-analytical Jim Bizby agonizing over forbidden sexual desires for a seductive patient and doing the right thing in his marriage to a shrewish wife. This novel will compel one to read on to learn if any of these experts in the human mind will choose to confront their hidden fears or perpetuate the lies they tell themselves each day.
Bonny, Jack’s wife, and Fancy Muwamba, a survivor of physical and sexual trauma in her Congo homeland bring vibrance, strength and sanity to this otherwise confused group.
The Looney Bin is a character-driven, dialogue-rich psychological drama about human beings and relationships. It dives deeply into the intricate, emotional depths of its characters as they grapple with the fundamental human fear of inadequacy. The story reveals the extremes to which individuals go to evade the inevitable reality that perfection is unattainable.

Brace yourself for a mind-bending journey through tangled minds and unraveling truths, exposing the raw intricacies of the human psyche in a thought-provoking exploration of the pursuit of self-acceptance.

The 21 Wives of Goel Ratzon: True Crime Story

About The 21 Wives of Goel Ratzon: True Crime Story

The 21 Wives of Goel Ratzon stands as one of the biggest cult stories in recent memory, yet remains largely unknown outside its origin country of Israel. This story unfolds the disturbing saga of Goel Ratzon, a 59-year-old from Tel Aviv whose arrest in 2010 revealed a secretive cult that included over 20 women and 50 children.

Born an illiterate Yemeni immigrant, Ratzon came under the scrutiny of Tel Aviv’s police force following an outcry from families who had tragically lost their teenage daughters to his cult. These girls, some as young as 16, abandoned their education and families, entranced by the teachings of Ratzon. Portraying himself as the Messiah and claiming to possess every masculine attribute a woman could desire, Ratzon’s enigmatic figure pledged women from all walks of life to erase their egos and join his polygamous family. Oftentimes, whole families were lured to become Ratzon’s wives, such as a mother and her three teen daughters. Ratzon had also infiltrated a wealthy suburban high school by posing as an energy healer and indoctrinated many of its students to join his cult, some ended up as his wives too.
The question that loomed after Ratzon’s conviction and 30-year prison sentence was: How did a working-class, uneducated man so profoundly enchant intelligent, beautiful women, compelling them to bear him up to 9 children each, and fund his opulent lifestyle?

About Lessons from Lad: What My Dog Taught Me About Life, Love, Leadership, and Loss by Christine Nicole Ferris

Lad, a rough collie, was a dream come true. Christine had dreamed of owning a rough collie and naming him Lad since she was twelve. Over twenty-five years later she held her Lad for the first time, and she learned to treasure him more than any other animal she had ever owned. But when Lad was unexpectedly snatched away from her fourteen months later, she felt overwhelming grief. Christine says, “Losing Lad wasn’t just the death of a dog, it was the death of a dream.” When she asked God why, two words came softly to her heart . . . Lad lessons.

Right away she began writing down truths life with Lad had taught her. In fifty-two lessons, Christine Ferris shares the lasting legacy Lad left in her heart. While she describes them as a “gift of loss,” the lessons learned from Lad are joyful, heartfelt, and have much wisdom to impart. From the fourteen memorable months Christine Ferris spent with Lad, she shares what she learned about keeping your paws clean, telling yourself no, treasuring today, leaning into discipline, and inevitable loss. This book invites you to let Lad leave a few lasting paw prints on your heart.

“Lessons from Lad offers a unique window, gleaned through Lad’s daily journey, into the everyday triumphs, trials, teachings, and tragedies of life. Each lesson is practical and helpful as we navigate the terrain of life, and we, too, endeavor to point others to Christ.”
