What inspired you to write Memoirs of Heath Allen?
I’ve always been fascinated by the moral ambiguity of vigilante justice and the psychology behind those who cross ethical lines in the name of doing “what’s right.” Heath Allen isn’t your typical serial killer—he’s articulate, methodical, and disturbingly rational. I wanted to explore what happens when someone believes they are justice, and how that belief can seduce even those meant to stop them.
Katie Holbert is a compelling character in her own right. What drew you to write her?
Katie represents the part of us that wants to understand darkness without being consumed by it. She’s brilliant, disciplined, and emotionally scarred. Her journey is one of internal erosion—trying to hold her ground while being psychologically dismantled by someone who sees through every weakness she tries to hide.
How did you approach writing the dual perspectives of Bordtello and Messa?
Writing from both perspectives allowed me to deepen the psychological intensity. It gave readers a chance to see not just what’s happening, but why. The contrast between Matt’s search for justice and Messa’s spiral into madness enhances the tension and complexity.
If your book were adapted into a film, who would you cast as John Messa?
Without a doubt—Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone has that brooding intensity and physical dominance that would make John Messa genuinely terrifying on screen. He’s got the presence of a man who’s lived through pain, and he can portray that mix of cold-blooded menace and tragic depth that defines Messa. You’d believe he could break a man—and carry decades of rage while doi
