It's not my fault!
Nobody wakes up believing they're the villain.
Not the liar.
Not the addict.
Not the thief.
Not the adulterer.
Not the murderer.
Everyone has a reason.
Everyone has a justification.
Everyone has an excuse.
When journalist Katie Holbert is granted exclusive access to convicted serial killer Heath Allen, she expects to interview a monster. A man whose crimes are beyond explanation. A man whose choices should be easy to condemn.
She is wrong.
What begins as a prison interview becomes a psychological battle unlike anything she expected. Rather than defend his crimes, Heath dismantles the stories people tell themselves every day. Stories that justify betrayal. Rationalize addiction. Shift blame. Avoid responsibility. Stories that allow ordinary people to cross extraordinary lines while convincing themselves they had no choice.
With every conversation, the questions become more unsettling. The line between interviewer and subject begins to blur. The closer Katie comes to understanding Heath, the more she is forced to examine the stories she tells herself.
And so is the reader.
As the interviews unfold, one disturbing possibility refuses to disappear:
What if the difference between a murderer and everyone else isn't as wide as we'd like to believe?
It's Not My Fault is a psychological thriller about accountability, choice, and the stories we tell ourselves to live with our decisions. It is an exploration of guilt, responsibility, and the uncomfortable space between what shaped us and what we choose to become.
Because nobody believes they're the villain.
Everyone has an excuse.
But sooner or later, every excuse gives way to the same question:
Now what?
