“S.A. McEwen has a knack for understanding the small idiosyncrasies that factor in to how people think. These observations lead to an intricate tale that should not be missed." Author K. Moore

Welcome, reader

Thank you for your interest in my work.

I write dark, smart and twisty thrillers and romantic suspense novels. They’re for readers who like to delve into the human psyche, and topics that are sometimes uncomfortable. My MCs aren’t perfect, and they’re sometimes hard to like. 

I’m a social worker and mental health clinician, and I like to explore aspects of human relationships that interest me, especially within families. Families leave us with stuff. It’s universal. And often rather
dark. 

I don’t shy away from subjects such as sex work, the refugee experience, disability, and the painful repercussions of parenting choices. If you’re looking for a light read, these are not your books!

Here you will find up-to-date information about my writing, bonus scenes, resources mentioned in my books, and more. In my newsletter I talk more about particular characters and what inspired them or where I think they might be after the last page. If this interests you, you can

Happy reading! (Or, you know…dark and brooding
reading…) 

S.A. McEwen

“…amazing, gritty and emotionally charged.” ★★★★★
