Thorton

He doesn't confess.He corrects.For decades, Gregg Thorton lived many lives under many names; husband, father, neighbor, provider. A man who blended in so completely that no one questioned the structure he built behind closed doors.Until everything burned.Thorton is not a true confession. It is something far more disturbing.Told entirely in Gregg's own voice, this fictional memoir forces readers inside the mind of a man who never believed he was wrong. A man who reframes violence as discipline, control as love, and murder as necessity.From his first kill at six years old to the marriages that defined and destroyed entire families, Gregg walks you through the life he insists was lived correctly.He does not ask for forgiveness.He does not seek understanding.He offers you his truth.And dares you to prove him wrong.As Cole King prepares to tell his story through the upcoming documentary Obedient: Masks and Murders, Gregg takes control of the narrative one last time, revealing just enough to disturb, manipulate, and linger long after the final page.Because the most terrifying part of Gregg Thorton isn't what he did.It's that he still believes he was right.This is a work of fiction inspired by true crime themes. Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness.As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work.Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
