"There are so many layers to the human condition that writers need to pay attention to, because those layers are what make fiction feel real." - Oliver

LOS ANGELES, CA, December 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Celebrated novelist Kay A. Oliver has once again captured the attention of readers and critics alike, earning two prestigious Literary Titan Fall 2025 Awards - one for her gripping series and latest installment in Dark, Cold Eyes, and another for her psychological thriller Fear Struck. These honors highlight her achievements, inspiring readers with her success and dedication.

Known for her layered storytelling, emotional depth, and cinematic pacing, Oliver continues to push the boundaries of character-driven suspense. The Literary Titan judges praised her work for its sharp insight into the human psyche and her ability to create immersive, unforgettable reading experiences, encouraging the audience to admire her craft. In addition, Oliver was chosen as Fiction Author of the Year 2025 by IAOTP.

Reflecting on her process, Oliver shared:
"There are so many layers to the human condition that writers need to pay attention to, because those layers are what make fiction feel real. In Fear-Struck, I delved deep into the debilitating impact fear can have on a person. It doesn't just consume the main character. The suspect gets overwhelmed by it, too. Even the characters in the prison around him react out of fear."

Fear Struck, celebrated for its psychological complexity and twist-driven narrative, continues to build a dedicated following. Meanwhile, Dark, Cold Eyes, part of Oliver's acclaimed Shaws Investigation mystery series, has been recognized for its richly crafted world, brilliant pacing, and the unique way it marries emotional tension with investigative intrigue.

These dual wins further highlight Oliver's ability to connect with audiences across genres, from psychological thrillers to cozy-leaning mysteries with depth. Her work consistently captures the nuances of human emotion, the quiet power of internal conflict, and the resilience of her unforgettable characters.

With more novels in development and a growing collection of literary honors, Kay A. Oliver continues to shape the landscape of contemporary storytelling, inspiring the audience with her ongoing dedication and promising future achievements.

ABOUT KAY A. OLIVER

Oliver's journey through Hollywood's dazzling yet demanding world reignited my true passion, storytelling. When studio executives dismissed her female-driven screenplays as "unmarketable," she did not step back. She stepped forward. Surviving breast cancer gave her a renewed purpose: to celebrate women's resilience, courage, and strength through unforgettable stories.

After more than 30 years in Hollywood, Kay A. Oliver traded scripts for novels, embracing the boundless creative freedom of fiction. Her debut, Disturbed Tombs, burst onto the literary scene, earning four prestigious awards and proving that women's stories do sell. That success opened the door to Road to Elysium and a growing collection of award-winning novels that keep readers turning the pages long into the night.

Now honored in Who's Who in America 2024 and named Fiction Author of the Year 2025 by the IAOTP, Oliver continues to craft tales that uplift and empower. Her stories explore triumph over adversity, celebrate authentic relationships, and reflect the wisdom learned from navigating a male-dominated industry.

Readers often tell her that her novels do not just entertain - they linger, resonating long after the last chapter. Each story is a testament to the power of hope, the beauty of resilience, and the strength of the human spirit.
Read. Feel. Be inspired.
