More about When Karma Comes Calling...

A deep literary thriller about forgiveness and the chains of guilt that bind us... 

When tragedy strikes, the McIntyre family's idyllic staycation takes a devastating turn, leaving 11-year-old Rhys and his father Jonny drowning in guilt and remorse.
 

Amid their turmoil stands Elizabeth, a mother doing everything she can to hold the family together as they navigate their new reality — all while secretly searching for her long-lost sister, Elisa, who vanished nearly two decades ago. Little does Elizabeth know that Elisa is closer than she ever imagined. And she’s nursing a profound grudge and plotting revenge that will strike at the heart of the McIntyre family.
 

As the fates of these intertwined characters collide, Karma herself intervenes with a monumental task at hand… to navigate a web of destiny, guilt, and vengeance before it is too late.
 

For fans of Alex Michaelides' The Silent Patient, Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies, When Karma Comes Calling is a riveting story of redemption and resilience and pushes the boundaries of contemporary speculative fiction, delving into themes of guilt, forgiveness, and the enigmatic power of fate.

Prepare for a journey that challenges perceptions and leaves you pondering the intricate workings of karma itself.

My story...

Hey! 👋 I'm Tom, and I'm an East-Midlands-based Amazon best-selling writer who has spent his career up to now working in public relations. A father and husband with a mild coffee addiction, When Karma Comes Calling was my first novel and will be accompanied by three novellas: The Crash, Black And Blue, and Keep On Digging in 2025 and 2026.

I describe the When Karma Comes Calling collection as the greatest experiment of my career. When I started to write these books in 2020, I knew I wanted to explore a series of ideas that fascinated me. The first - surprise, surprise - was the idea of Karma. Not in the 'Karma is a b***h' sense, but, actually, what Karma is supposed to be, a balancing of our actions, both good and bad and a force for guidance. 

These four books also delve into areas and questions I have considered a lot. Including:

  • Our relationship with self-guilt

  • How a simple mistake can alter your whole life

  • How we never truly know what is happening behind closed doors

They made for fascinating topics to explore with my cast of characters and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.​
