My book
Morality is a luxury for the privileged. Never is a word used by those with options. We all believe there are lines we would never cross, but when desperation strips away your integrity, these lines quickly fade, then they vanish.
What Comes Next is a collection of four interconnected, thriller-mystery stories exploring human reactions to the challenges of migration, poverty and crime. Each narrative explores what happens when ordinary people are flung into the throes of adversity, and the power of human resilience, both physical and psychological, when survival is at stake.
