Welcome to the Silence and Beyond

Survival was just the beginning!

Hi, I’m Jamie Oakley—author of psychological thrillers that twist your perception and management books that challenge how we lead. Two very different genres… with one thing in common: they both dig into what we believe, how we think, and what happens when everything we trust starts to crack.

This blog is where I’ll bring you behind the scenes—whether I’m breaking down the writing process behind In the Wake of Silence, sharing the eerie real-world research that inspired “The Handler,” or unpacking the leadership myths that drive burnout in the hospitality world (yes, I’m looking at you, cross-training culture).

You’ll also find:

• Exclusive character insights and backstory reveals

• Sneak peeks at upcoming projects (fiction and non-fiction)

• Real talk about writing, creativity, and business

• Free downloads, book club guides, and behind-the-scenes content

  
  

If you’ve read In the Wake of Silence—thank you. You’ve stepped into the first layer of something much bigger. And if you're here for the management side of my writing—welcome. Your part of the reason these stories matter in real life.

Let’s keep building something bold, honest, and just a little bit twisted.

Until next time,

Jamie Oakley
