Author's Note
on memory, silence, and truth
"This isn't just a book. It's a reckoning."
Why I Wrote This Book
“People aren’t tired of the truth. They’re tired of being lied to.”These novellas are my response — to forgetting, to silencing, to gaslighting.If you’ve ever carried a story alone… this is for you.– Gene Scott
Each novella confronts a different form of buried injustice:
Troublemaker: Truth Versus The Machine
A brutal experiment. A prison built to erase. A nurse who refuses to forget. Inside Black Hollow Correctional Facility, federal witnesses are promised protection—but find themselves at the mercy of Dr. Elena Volkova’s covert behavioral experiment. Delayed medication, orchestrated violence, and cold observation pass as “protocol.” As chaos becomes normalized, one woman—Mama E, the prison nurse—begins documenting the names of the dead in a humble notebook, resisting the machine in the only way she can. Meanwhile, inmate DeShawn Martinez must choose between protecting a vulnerable young man and surviving the system himself. Troublemaker is a claustrophobic, morally charged literary novel that asks: When the rules are written to break you, what does it mean to resist?
The Water Remembers
A fierce eco-thriller where Cherokee memory meets modern corporate greed. Gene Scott tells a centuries-spanning story of betrayal, resistance, and fire carried through generations. Esther, poisoned while retrieving evidence, and her grandmother Ruth, a sharp-witted elder, anchor the narrative with grit and purpose. The prose is poetic, direct, and unrelenting. Think Ceremony meets Erin Brockovich with radioactive fallout. Villains are flat but effective; nuance takes a backseat to urgency. The novel doesn’t hint—it declares: memory is survival, and land remembers. Some mystical touches overreach, but the emotional force lands hard. This is a story of ancestral fire, corporate murder, and the cost of forgetting.
The Testers: What the Poison Remembers
Follows two intertwined bloodlines across five centuries of power and exploitation. In 1521, royal poison-taster Thomas Tester walks a perilous line in Henry VIII’s court, trained by his herbalist grandmother to detect what others miss—until an attempt on the king’s life threatens his family and forces a choice between truth and survival. In 2025 Tennessee, Dr. Grace Blackwood uncovers falsified pharmaceutical data tied to a rising body count and a hidden Tester lineage preserved through recipes, songs, and quiet resistance. As she and Caleb Tester unravel a legacy meant to be erased, past and present converge, revealing how healing and harm blur—and how those who remember become the last defense against systems built on forgetting.
Names Like Prayers
The testimony begins. The names rise. The system isn’t broken—it’s designed that way. Three years after the Black Hollow murders, Desmond Rios steps into the Capitol to tell the truth the country wants to forget. With his brother Malik dead, and new evidence of a nationwide pattern of abuse, Desmond prepares to name names—publicly, irreversibly. As chants echo outside the courthouse and survivors like Tariq find their own voices, Mama E continues her quiet work: sewing names into fabric, preserving memory like scripture. A layered political thriller and elegiac testimony, Names Like Prayers is a novel about bearing witness, refusing silence, and how remembrance becomes revolution.
This book is for the teachers, the nurses, and social workers who carry stories the world tries to silence. This book is for you.
Real Readers, Real Recognition
Author Gene Scott offers readers a brilliant fusion of historical suspense and modern thriller that’s rich with atmosphere and razor-sharp tension.
Gene Scott’s The Testers is a combination of medical thriller and historical fiction with a unique writing style and first-person narration.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories that bridge the past and present and encourage readers to fight against injustice and protect their legacies.
These aren’t blurbs. They’re testimonies.
