Why I write the way I do
Shards
The first book in the Infinite Mirror series
Something is wrong with Detective Lucas Hale.
He just doesn’t know what—yet.
A series of murders with no clear pattern.
A child who draws what no one else can see.
A mind fraying at the edges, piece by piece.
Called in to consult, forensic psychologist Dr. Rachel Harrow begins to suspect that Lucas isn’t just chasing a killer—he may be circling something much closer. But in a case where the evidence bends and the memories don’t hold, even the truth comes in fragments.
As his grip on reality slips, Lucas must confront the possibility that the darkness he’s chasing might be coming from inside. And the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: someone—or something—has been watching all along.

Explore dark psychological thrillers and short stories from the mind of Edward Wiggins
Great psychological thrillers don’t emerge from thin air. They grow from the cracks in everyday life — the silent voids, the things left unsaid, and the fractures beneath the surface.

About Edward
Edward Wiggins is a first-time novelist who didn’t set out to write a book — he set out to unravel a question: What happens when identity fractures under pressure? That question became the seed of his debut work and the foundation for the dark, emotionally charged stories he now tells.
With no formal background in writing, Edward stepped into the world of fiction with nothing but a fascination for psychology, memory, and human resilience. His work blends grounded psychological realism with slow-burn tension, drawing readers into characters who are as flawed and haunted as they are believable. His debut novel, Shards, was born after surviving the darkest chapter of his life — in the aftermath of personal and professional collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Writing became his path forward. Now, Edward channels his experience into layered characters and slow-burning suspense that respects psychological realism.
