I'm the author of psychological thrillers, including the DCI Tom Douglas and Stephanie King series. I began writing after a career in the tech industry, and my debut novel, Only the Innocent, was self-published and went on to become a #1 Kindle bestseller. Since then, my books have sold over four million copies and have been translated into more than 20 languages. I love writing stories that dig deep into human behavior, especially when characters are forced to make impossible choices. I split my time between the UK and Italy, and when I’m not writing, I’m often walking my dogs or thinking up my next twist.
I never imagined writing would become my second career, but after moving to Italy and restoring a monastery, I found the time and inspiration to write Only the Innocent. I published it myself, and to my surprise, it became a Kindle bestseller. That first book launched a series featuring DCI Tom Douglas, and I’ve since added the Stephanie King novels as well. I love crafting stories that make readers ask, “What would I do in this situation?” Writing psychological thrillers has been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful every day that I get to do what I love.
