About G.D. Stickles
My Journey
Born and raised in Welland, Ontario, I have embraced various roles throughout my career. From restaurateur to featured columnist, each experience has shaped my writing and storytelling abilities.
My debut novel, The Purging of Paradise, was recently published by Pegasus Publishing (London, U.K.) and is available on their website.
It is already drawing attention as a gripping, character-driven thriller where paradise collides with peril.
The Synopsis
Set against the sun-drenched shores of Oahu, Purging of Paradise plunges readers into a world where beauty hides darkness. A string of gruesome murders shatters the island’s serenity, leaving residents in fear and chaos. At the center of the storm is Eric Wakefield, a washed-up ex-cop turned private investigator, haunted by regret and addiction.
When a chilling voice on the other end of the line taunts him, Eric is pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse. With each cryptic clue, the clock ticks closer to another innocent life lost. As he chases the killer into the island’s shadowy corners, Eric must confront not only the mystery before him but also the cost of justice itself.
Taut, relentless, and atmospheric, Purging of Paradise is a debut novel that promises to keep readers turning pages late into the night.
