Hello, reader!

This post lists the emotional and psychological triggers you’ll find in my novel SEE RED. This list includes spoilers. Read on as you see fit.

As the book’s author, my goal is not to sensationalize any of these topics, but to use them as part of a compelling, logical story that thrills my readers. If you believe this list of triggers for SEE RED is incomplete, please let me know using the contact form in the menu above.

• Lots of profanity
• Lots of physical action and violence: occurs on-page
• References to self-harm (specifically, cutting and suicide): no self-harm occurs on-page, but it is described as a ritual for emotional control over a character’s anxiety
• References to child exploitation; no acts occur on-page, but there are brief descriptions of candid photographs that are discovered
• References to sexual assault; no acts occur on-page, but this topic arises as unknowns concerning some of the characters (eg, a character wondering if another has been assaulted); there are several scenes of rising tension suggesting that a sexual assault is going to occur, but it never does
• Discussions of the loss of a child to suicide, and the impact that has on the family
• Discussions of the long-term emotional and dynamic impact that a sexual assault has on a family
