On Earth As It Is In Hell
A soul falls to her knees in Hell, begging for escape. Satan himself answers; not with mercy, but with a bargain: “If I let you out, will you bring more souls to me?” Her agreement proves detrimental. Released back to Earth with a legion of demons at her side, she carries one command, do on Earth as it is in Hell. On Earth As It Is In Hell is a chilling spiritual thriller rooted in a reality that feels all too familiar. It’s about the portals that don’t just exist within us, but open among us.
In this story, gateways to Hell tear open in real places on Earth; churches, schools, the White House, institutions built on public trust and unprotected hearts. As these portals widen, evil no longer hides in shadows; it moves openly as people are accustomed to seeing it “artificially,” and the most terrifying question isn’t what’s coming… but how much of Hell we’ve already allowed in!
Clara, stops believing in God due to His lack of intervention in her life. Undone by tragedy and His silence, whispers from malevolent forces now enter into her mind; whispers that feel like truth. Toni, her closest friend, is fighting his own quiet war. Coming out of the closet was supposed to bring freedom; but instead it brings fear, rejection, and tragedy determined to push him back in. Every step forward brings him closer to a cost he never anticipated. Nick a compassionate preacher who understands pain and the hunger to belong, finds himself at a crossroad. His desire to help people and to be heard, opens the door to subtle compromises that promise influence, success, and wealth. But purpose twisted by greedy ambition always demands a price.
Three lives, one invisible agenda! Some doors should have never been opened.
Life is scarier than fiction, the fate of the world is scarier than this!

Tears of the Clown
Behind every smile can live a story hidden behind a mask! Tears of the Clown is a raw and transformative autobiography that exposes the hidden realities of entrainment, gaslighting, manipulation, domestic violence and sexual abuse; how it begins, how it traps, and how so many silently endure it while wearing a mask for survival.
Through deeply personal experiences, Cortina Jackson reveals how years of trauma, abuse, and a near-fatal domestic violence relationship with her police officer husband forced her to become an expert at hiding pain behind a carefully crafted smile. To the world, she appeared strong. Behind the mask, she was fighting battles few could imagine.
More than a story, this book is a guide to unlocking purpose, alignment, and success. It reveals how removing the mask and confronting the pain can shift your entire life leading you out of survival mode and into clarity, confidence, power, and intentional living. This is where healing meets strategy, and where your past no longer defines your future. Part memoir and part blueprint for transformation, Tears of the Clown helps readers understand the cycles of abuse, break free from victimhood, reclaim their identity, and discover the hidden gifts often buried beneath trauma. Drawing from lessons of survival, and personal achievements, this book answers the question so many survivors ask: Now that I’ve survived, how do I truly thrive?
If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, disconnected from your purpose, or uncertain about your future, this book offers a path forward. Because survival is not the destination. It is the beginning. You wore the mask to survive. Now it’s time to discover who you are without it.
