About the Book

A serial killer stalking actresses. A woman desperate for fame. A dark family secret about to erupt...


Actresses are being murdered all across London, and as the footage of their deaths is seen around the world, the modus operandi of the killer becomes horrifically clear.

The Artist forces actresses into a perverse trade off. They will be kidnapped, strapped to a chair, and given fifteen minutes to live before a bullet will rip through their heads. In return, the footage will be sent to the media.

They will acquire Andy Warhol's prophesied fifteen minutes of fame, but it will be the last performance of their lives.

Meanwhile, Kimberley - a struggling actress - goes to ever more desperate lengths to get her big break. Her daughter Kaylin knows that actresses are being killed, and begins to fantasise about protecting her mum - by any means necessary.

As the death toll rises, it becomes clear that Kaylin and The Artist have a number of traits in common.

Could The Artist be Kaylin's estranged father? If so, what does that mean for Kimberley?

And just who is following Kaylin to school?

The truth is more horrific than they could possibly imagine...

(Very) Quick Author Q and A

What inspired you to write this story?
The Artist came from a combination of my experiences as a struggling actor/comedian, and my interest in criminal and forensic psychology.

The story revolves around the 'fame game' - which every year a billion people play but only one or two ever actually win - and the countless people obsessively chasing the dream of being rich and famous.

I love reading psychological thriller novels and behavioural science books, and have always had an interest in the 'why?' of crime, so it was interesting for me to explore how - taken to an extreme - pursuing fame could lead to some pretty dire consequences.

It's a Hollywood-meets-Silence of the Lambs kind of novel...!

Who will enjoy this book?
Anybody who likes forensic psychology books, novels with a twist, and thrilling stories. Oh, and anybody who doesn't mind getting into the mind of a serial killer.

And, let's be honest, who doesn't...?
