We’re excited to officially introduce In the Wake of Betrayal, my latest suspense novel—a story that’s already gaining attention and was recently featured on IssueWire.
This gripping psychological thriller unravels the events of a single, harrowing week. A young boy is kidnapped—not by a stranger, but as part of a chilling plan devised by his own father. What follows is a tense, emotional race against time, told through the perspectives of the grieving mother, the calculating kidnapper, and the father who set everything in motion.
Originally drafted in 2005, this story has been reimagined with a sharper lens and deeper emotional resonance. I never imagined that a brief revisit to an old manuscript would evolve into a full rewrite—but the result is a novel I’m truly proud of.
At its core, In the Wake of Betrayal is about what happens when trust is broken, and how far we’re willing to go to protect the ones we love—even when everything feels lost.
