Rowan Merrick

Rowan Merrick writes psychological thrillers about fractured minds, generational violence, and the lies families tell to survive each other. He's drawn to morally complicated protagonists, slow-build dread, and stories where justice and mercy refuse to be the same thing — with a particular interest in trauma psychology, the ethics of memory, and the long shadow that cycles of violence cast on the people left behind.

He lives in Texas with too much coffee, a dog who doesn't respect his deadlines, and a growing collection of true crime books his wife refuses to keep in the bedroom. Most of his writing happens late at night, which his characters seem to prefer.
