Book Overview
He was supposed to be the perfect son.
A brilliant law student. Heir to a legacy. Loyal, obedient, untouchable.
But Amir Ahmad has a secret buried in blood—and the deeper he climbs, the closer it comes to the surface.
When a violent past returns in the form of Lyra, a ghost with a god complex and a vendetta, Amir’s carefully constructed life begins to fracture. She’s not here for redemption. She’s here to finish what she started: a psychological experiment born in the shadows of government programs, secret files, and family betrayals.
As Amir spirals into a web of conspiracies, cover-ups, and conditioning, he’s forced to confront the truth:
He was never a survivor.
He was the prototype.
Now, with his former mentor—Michael West, a man built from guilt and silence—they must choose: burn down the machine that made them…
Or become the new architects of power.
Intimate and explosive, I’m a Dead Man Walking is a razor-edged descent into control, complicity, and the cost of becoming who the world was afraid you already were.

BIOGRAPHY As a certified life coach with a foundation in paralegal studies, I write and advocate at the intersection of personal transformation and systemic change. My work is driven by a deep commitment to social justice, racial equity, and the power of second chances—especially for the formerly incarcerated.
As a Black father, I understand the weight of legacy, the complexities of navigating identity, and the urgent need to shift narratives in our communities. Fatherhood shapes my perspective and grounds my mission: to uplift, to challenge, and to reimagine what’s possible for those who have been silenced or shut out.
I am the author of The Road to Reentry (2017), Pursuing Redemption (2020), Black Fatherhood (2023), and Reclaiming Freedom (2024). Through these works, I explore the realities of race, incarceration, and redemption—blending personal insight with broader social critique.
Here, you’ll find reflections on growth, healing, justice, and what it means to lead a life of purpose in a world that often misunderstands who we are—and who we can become.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’d absolutely appreciate any advice you have—I'm always looking to improve and grow as a writer. Please feel free to share your thoughts!
