There was a time when the Shadows would blind humans individually. But, it was very hard, exhausting work. So, a few brilliant Shadows came up with a system that would do the work for them. Even better, a system that the humans would adore, build bigger, and praise, while becoming more imprisoned by it every day.
We live in that system. We work and worship in it. We fight for it.
But one of its main architects wants out. Or so he claims. And he’s found a burned out pastor to listen to him.
If stories make the world go around, this one is going to have the world (and your head) spinning.

Gross inequality, the continued dehumanization of our fellow species, and a total disregard for the planet… maybe it’s not all so random after all. Insipid not only provides an epic adventure into a hypothetical why, it makes sure we understand the true depravity of it all, and the possibility for a better future.

Not only is it a beautiful love story - actually, it’s everything a good love story should be. Romantic love, sacred love, the pain of love and the hope that love will someday do something right in this world.

This is the kind of person you want to write a story. Ryan is angry but not bitter, he’s stirred up but not pessimistic and he’s not upset with anyone, just at the systems that hinder and manipulate us. Insipid is all of that and more.

Let’s just say I can’t stop thinking about this book. Is there anything more important?
- Kari jospeh. LCSW
Deeply engrossing and richly layered, Insipid captured my imagination from the very first page. It also filled my heart. The book feels special, so needed in the moment, and I’m truly excited for others to read it. Open its pages and you may also open to a more nondualistic way of being in the world.
- Robin Bethel, writer and editor
After reading Insipid, I have big questions and very inadequate answers for what I do, what I think, and what I believe. But don’t call me desperate. You might call me on the verge of freedom for the first time.

This is not your father’s Screwtape Letters but it might be the perfect story for a new generation. Yes, it’s dark but it’s not without all kinds of hope. Ehs might be a demon but let’s hope we’re listening to this darkness.
- dr. RICHARD Lewis
If you ever wonder why the world seems so messed up, Insipid may provide you some answers. Be warned, these are not the kind of answers that you’ve heard before. These are not the kind of answers that leave you the same way they found you.

DESCRIPTION
Seth craves more from life.
When a stranger in a coffee shop offers him something extraordinary, he has to listen, even if the oddly normal man claims to be a friendly demon leading one of the most brilliant and successful cons of humanity to ever exist. The man may be crazy but he knows secrets Seth has told no one. He reveals a reality Seth has never experienced.
Seth will question it all: his sanity, good and evil, what is real and what is not. The journey will be fantastic: darker than his nightmares and brighter than his dreams. It may kill him. Then again, it might just save him.
Whether he is aiding a cunning evil or becoming an unlikely force for good, remains to be seen.
Either way, it’s not just his life that hangs in the balance.
