On a rainy Manhattan afternoon, career-obsessed writer and news producer
Kennedy loses the interview that was guaranteed to catapult her to senior
producer status. Hours later, revered and feared book editor Muffin Evans, aka
the Manuscript Eater, shelves the publication of her promising debut novel.
Over a night of tears and too many glasses of wine, Kennedy responds to an
internet ad for a villa on the picturesque island of Hilton Head. She books a
five-week “hiatus from life,” to focus on herself, free from
distractions.
However, soon after arriving on the island, J.P. Long catches Kennedy’s
hesitant eye. Despite a series of serendipitous encounters around the romantic
oasis, Kennedy knows there’s no room in her life for a charming
professional golfer turned businessman who is battling his own personal and
professional insecurities.
But maybe he’s worth the trouble.
If there’s one thing Kennedy’s learned, it’s that life
rarely happens as expected, and sometimes, the best stories unfold when you
stop chasing the perfect headline.

In Breaking Deceptions, Kirk Sassak, a mechanical engineer turned first-time
author, delivers a powerful exposé on the modern media’s role in
distorting truth and reshaping national narratives. From COVID-19
misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up to the media’s
radically different treatment of the 2020 BLM riots and the January 6 Capitol
riot, this book takes readers on a gripping journey through some of the most
controversial events in recent American history.
With the structured mind of an engineer and the creative soul of a poet,
Sassak dissects media narratives with precision and passion—shedding
light on the rise of politically motivated journalism and its impact on
democracy, freedom, and truth.

About the Author
ePowertrain division of a global automotive driveline supplier. With over two
decades of experience applying structured problem-solving and technical
precision, Kirk brings the same analytical mindset to his writing. His passion
for truth and clarity—both in engineering and in public
discourse—fuels his work as a nonfiction author.
Kirk’s journey as a writer began in 2011 during a professional
assignment in Mexico, where he first discovered a surprising talent for
poetry. Though his writing took a backseat for nearly a decade, the events of
2020—particularly media coverage surrounding COVID-19 and major
political events—reignited his creative drive and moral conviction.
Blending the logic of an engineer with the expressive voice of an artist, Kirk
now writes with purpose: to challenge mainstream narratives, spark awareness,
and advocate for journalistic integrity.
When he’s not writing or managing complex engineering projects, Kirk
enjoys exploring the intersections of art, logic, and truth. Breaking
Deceptions is his first published book.
