This year has pushed us all to the point of breaking. You’re not alone in falling apart. But psychology contains secrets. About what happens when we break, what that brokenness can give us, & what comes next. We can make it through this!

We know what a psychopath is. At least, we think we do. In these troubled times, it feels like psychopathy is everywhere, corrupting all that makes our societies good. We need the truth more than ever.

In this non-fiction, we will talk about the psychopath & why what we know about them is wrong. More importantly, we will talk about what they do to us. How they change the way we see the world & ourselves. Knowledge is power.

And the psychopath only wins, if we are blind to their tricks. Through stories & science, let’s move closer to the psychopath together & pull that curtain back.

Black Thorn is insanely cheap for the whole of February. If you fancy reading a slow-burn psychological thriller with an autistic main character, fill your boots 🧡

Happy publication day, lovely lady!

What a week to have a book out about political corruption and powerful, abusive men! At least in my novel they get their comeuppance.
My first Anna Sharpe thriller. Out today in all formats in the UK, and in eBook and audio in the US.

This is a really insightful substack post from @EmmaLK and once you’ve read it do pre-order her book The Time Of The Fire which is out at the end of the month.
