Award-winning author Julie Lomax returns with another chilling masterpiece, A Pawn’s Game, a standalone psychological thriller that explores how far one man will go to protect his family when faced with a sinister challenge that blurs the line between strategy and survival.
The novel follows David Morgan, a man eager to start over in a new city with his family. When he begins playing casual chess matches with a mysterious stranger, the games quickly spiral into something far darker—each move echoing through his real life with deadly consequences. As the tension mounts, David must uncover the truth behind the twisted “game” before it claims everything he holds dear.
Lomax masterfully weaves themes of control, manipulation, and accountability, asking readers to consider how easily ordinary people can become pawns in someone else’s scheme. The story’s central message—that life is all about consequences—is both haunting and thought-provoking, offering a deep psychological exploration of human vulnerability and the cost of surrendering personal agency.
"A Pawn’s Game was inspired by a vivid dream,” Lomax shares. “I wanted to capture that unsettling feeling of being trapped in a situation where every decision counts—and where someone else may be moving the pieces.”
With a writing career that began in 2020 following a distinguished 31-year service in the Army Nurse Corps, Julie Lomax has become known for her sharp, suspense-driven storytelling. Her debut, The Costly Wish, launched an acclaimed thriller series continued by The Teedle Doll and Malediction, with a fourth installment expected in 2026. Her standalone novel The Adjudicator recently earned a Global Impact Award, further cementing her reputation as a rising star in the genre.
Outside of her psychological thrillers, Lomax also writes award-winning children’s stories, including the Melissa Moo Moo’s Special Lesson series and The Thing About Imaginary Friends. Balancing multiple projects at once, she aims to publish three to four books annually—a testament to her dedication and creative drive.
