Purple State Bruise

"A messy masterpiece in the best way... It reminded me of prestige TV dramas but with a sharper satirical edge." — Amazon Reviewer

“Wickedly funny… every chapter ended with some new disaster or revelation." — Amazon Reviewer

"Couldn't stop reading... way darker and smarter than I anticipated. Great writing and excellent pacing." — Amazon Reviewer

A road rage incident between an insurance heir and a homeless man sets off events that sway a presidential election.

Kyle Edwards has the perfect life on paper, a polished image, a high powered job at his father’s insurance firm, and a face built for commercials. In reality, he is trapped in a life he did not choose, simmering with rage.

That rage explodes in a viral altercation with a homeless alcoholic, David Quinn, destroying Kyle’s career and launching David into the spotlight. When David is revealed to be the illegitimate son of Ohio’s governor, Kyle sees an opportunity for revenge.

He pushes David into a run for governor, not to win, but to disrupt the system and sway the election.

What begins as a stunt spirals into a volatile political movement fueled by media chaos, family tension, and escalating violence. As their influence grows, so does the danger.

As the frenzy builds, a detective begins to uncover a long buried disappearance connected to David, a truth that could shatter everything they have set in motion.

Purple State Bruise is a dark, fast moving political satire about power, identity, and how quickly the wrong people can change everything.
