Gemma Rogers
Gemma Rogers lives with her two daughters, husband, and beloved bulldog in West Sussex. Gemma writes gritty thrillers with vivid female protagonists.

Her love of writing started early in her teen teen years, inspired by hours spent buried in Christopher Pike, Point Horror, Richard Laymon with the odd Judy Blume tossed in for good measure.

Other passions of Gemma’s include movies, especially horror, since who doesn’t love a good scare, swimming, bulldog walks, and anything that involves cake.

Gemma loves watching stories come to life on the page. When the words that she is writing are flowing and moving the story along. It is compulsive. And her brain is just fit to bursting with ideas all of the time and she absolutely must get them down on paper before they vanish.

She has not suffered writer’s block yet, although typically if she gets stuck on some scene then she will take a long bath or go for a walk. This can usually help her untangle any thoughts and she’s then able to work through what she wants to happen and how she’d be able to get there.

“Stalker” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2019. Eve Harding’s world implodes on a Sunday morning when she gets violently assaulted and raped while walking to a South London train station.

Eve, with vengeance on her mind, is determined to track him down in time and get justice on her terms. In a game of cat and mouse, who exactly is stalking who?

A gritty crime thriller that asks exactly how far would you go in order to seek justice.

Twenty years later, and the group get brought back together when Gareth gets killed in a car wreck and Sophie starts to get threatening messages. Seems that this party they had was not all innocent as everybody believed and now there is somebody that wants payback.

Readers found this to be a beautifully written edge of your seat thriller from an exciting new voice, which keeps you guessing until the very end.
