Along with writing under her own name, Meg's pseudonym is Gem Wodahl a Toronto-based psychological thriller author writing under the Darkside Thrillers Productions banner. Her fiction is sensory-driven, morally complex, and structurally unconventional — built for readers who want a thriller that stays with them long after the last page.
KEPT, Gem's debut novel, exists at the intersection of psychological obsession, criminal intent, and points-of-no-return. KEPT begins Darkside Thrillers multi-season, serialized universe. It exists as a novel in eBook and paperback and a free eight-week audio drama designed as an immersive experience with a guest host, sound design, and original music, and lyrics.
Additional novels — The Swimmer Her Murderer and the Orphan, The Cellist, and When Bones Call Out — are releasing soon.
Previously, in 2023 World Castle Publishing released 'Someone Died In My House. We are thrilled to receive 4 and 5 star reviews and The Literary Titan Award. Thank you, book reviewers.
