In the quaint, coastal towns of Southern Maine, where the sea whispers secrets to those who dare to listen, Ian Walker is on the brink of becoming a renowned novelist. With every new book, his star rises higher. But Ian holds a secret obsession—an insatiable compulsion to read every review of his work on Amazon and peruse every critique in online literary circles.

The words of his critics linger in his mind, fueling dark fantasies. But when those who disparage his work begin to meet untimely deaths, Ian is confronted with a chilling question: Could his thoughts be manifesting into sinister reality? Each murder forces Ian to question his own sanity and morality. He doesn’t remember committing these crimes, yet a shadow of doubt haunts him.

Detectives John Harris and Lia Morgan are on a relentless pursuit for the truth. As they trace the threads leading back to Ian, the line between guilt and innocence blurs. In a world of deception and psychological warfare, can Ian uncover the truth before he becomes the ultimate culprit?

The Author is a gripping thriller filled with twists and turns, where every review could be a death sentence and every thought a potential crime.
