Stories often begin with a question.
What would you do if you had the chance to make a different choice?
The Breaking Point Series grew out of that idea. Each book explores the moment when an ordinary person reaches a point where one decision — often made in seconds — changes the course of their life forever.
Rather than following a single character through a long narrative, the series explores multiple perspectives and situations, each story revealing how fragile the balance between control and chaos can be.
What Is the Breaking Point Series?
The Breaking Point Series is a collection of interconnected thriller short stories exploring how technology, memory, power, and human psychology collide in unexpected ways.
Each book focuses on different characters facing impossible decisions.
Sometimes those choices lead to redemption.
Sometimes they lead somewhere much darker.
Across the series you’ll find stories about:
- people trying to rewrite their past
- technology pushing human limits
- moral choices under pressure
- ordinary lives colliding with extraordinary circumstances
The result is a collection of fast-paced, thought-provoking stories designed to be read in short bursts — but which linger long after the final page.
The Books in the Series
Terms & Conditions Apply
This is where the series began.
In Terms & Conditions Apply, the stories explore the quiet power of agreements people accept without fully understanding the consequences.
From digital contracts to unseen systems of control, the characters in these stories discover that the fine print of modern life can shape the future in ways no one expects.
No Time to Forget
The second book explores memory itself.
What happens when the worst moments of your life could be erased?
And what happens when people begin to treat memory like a product that can be modified, replaced, or removed entirely?
In No Time to Forget, the characters must confront the uncomfortable truth that forgetting something doesn’t always erase its consequences.
The Distance Between Good and Evil
Set across London and New York, this collection looks at the thin line separating good intentions from disastrous outcomes.
A single decision can appear harmless at first — until the ripple effects spread further than anyone anticipated.
These stories explore how the distance between good and evil is often far smaller than we believe.
The Last Blackout
The newest addition to the series imagines a world where power fails on a massive scale.
When technology disappears overnight, the structures people depend on collapse with it.
Civilisation doesn’t end immediately.
Instead, it begins to unravel.
And in that slow unraveling, people reveal who they truly are.
Why I Wrote the Series
The idea behind the Breaking Point Series was simple:
I wanted to explore the moments when people reach a point where they can’t go back.
Not dramatic, world-ending events.
Just ordinary moments that spiral into something much larger.
Modern life constantly places us in situations where we must trust systems, technology, or institutions we barely understand.
Sometimes that trust works.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
And sometimes the consequences take years to reveal themselves.
Those moments — the ones where everything could change — are the heart of the series.

Each book can be read individually, but together they form a wider exploration of choice, consequence, and the fragile balance between control and chaos.
Because sometimes the smallest decision becomes the moment everything breaks.
