But the doctrines, practices, punishment techniques (very extreme at times) and experiences of ‘Delilah’, her sisters, “Salome’ and ‘Magdalene’, and The Order in this novel, are inspired by academic research collected on ‘unorthodox’ and extreme New Religious Movements. ‘Heart Recaptured’ is a work of fiction, and as such, some situations have been exaggerated. This novel very heavily focuses on the concept of ‘Brainwashing’, and how coercive persuasion can impact victims’ lives. The female protagonist in this novel, ‘Delilah’, endures situations inspired by survivors of such groups. Here’s to the rest of the Hangmen Series… It’s gonna be a wild ride!Īs with the first novel in this series, ‘It Ain’t Me, Babe’, ‘Heart Recaptured’, was inspired by the testimonies of ex-members from several New Religious Movements, Cults and Sects and the leaders that abused the power they had over their members-especially the women. Without your unwavering support and campaigning for more from our favorite men in leather, Heart Recaptured would never have been.
