A teaser and a look into the author behind the abyss
Some stories whisper to you. Mine didn't. It clawed through the dark and demanded to be written.
Glovemaker is a psychological thriller set in a world of wealth, decay, and inheritance where the most dangerous heir isn’t the one with power—but the one who believes he was never meant to be human. Alistair, born of incest and raised in silence, becomes a serial killer the media dubs The Glovemaker, removing the hands of artists to fashion gloves he believes will imbue him with their gifts. What he seeks isn't fame—it's identity. He was mutilated by his grandfather at six, disfiguring his own hands, and in every glove he wears, he tries to rewrite the moment he was broken. But he’s not the only danger.
This story is the legacy of a family ruled by siblings—Estelle and Victor—two deeply bonded, brilliantly manipulative psychopaths whose love is both sanctuary and weapon. The estate they rule is no longer a home but a stage. And the world outside? Something to keep at bay.
About the Author
I spent over three decades in critical care and trauma as a respiratory therapist. I’ve seen what people look like on the edge—the moments that strip away pretense and reveal something primal underneath. That stayed with me. So did the silence. And now, in retirement, I write the things that never left.
I’m a psychological thriller author drawn to darkness—not for shock value, but for truth. I explore characters who don’t ask for forgiveness, who were shaped by trauma and forge their identity through power, control, and survival. My writing is built on psychological realism because I’ve lived in the aftermath of human choices, seen what trauma does to people over time, and felt the stillness that comes after someone’s final breath.
I write about psychopaths because I believe the abyss has rules—and those who live in it are fluent in them.
