Pen Name Books

Well Done - You Have Found My Secret.

If you’re here, you’ve uncovered the other side of my writing life.

As Paul Iddon, I craft horror and thrillers filled with atmosphere, tension, and the kind of unease that lingers. But under the pen name P. I. Thomas, I explore a different intensity altogether — romance, desire, and the emotional heat that comes with it.

Two genres, one storyteller.  

Whether you’re drawn to the shadows or the sparks, I’m glad you followed the trail this far.

Welcome to both worlds.

The Velvet Garden

Step beyond the ordinary into a world where passion blooms and boundaries fade.

Gemma and Daniel Harris have spent years building a life together—a life of comfort, love, and routine. But as the spark in their marriage dims, Gemma’s yearning for something more ignites a daring journey into the unknown. When an unexpected invitation leads them to The Velvet Garden, an exclusive and secretive club dedicated to exploring the depths of intimacy and connection, their world is forever changed.

Guided by the enigmatic Madame Velvet and surrounded by a diverse cast of couples and individuals, Gemma and Daniel discover the beauty of vulnerability, the thrill of rekindled desire, and the transformative power of trust. From sultry conversations to exhilarating new experiences, The Velvet Garden challenges them to redefine love, uncover their hidden selves, and reignite their passion for one another.

But beneath the sensual allure lies a deeper truth: every rose has its thorns. As they navigate this lush and liberating world, Gemma and Daniel must confront their fears, embrace their desires, and decide what they’re willing to risk for the love they’ve always dreamed of.

Sensual, heartfelt, and provocative, The Velvet Garden is a story of love, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to bloom.
