Twisted
Twisted is a sci-fi thriller set in Barbados, where time itself is beginning to unravel.
Recently laid-off journalist Gregory Thompson witnesses a ghostly train along an abandoned railway, a sight that pulls him into a world where past, present and future bleed together. With the help of a brilliant physicist Trudi Barnett and his irreverent friend Pope, Gregory uncovers a dangerous temporal phenomenon, a trail of murders and evidence that a future version of himself is involved.
It’s a story of obsession, legacy and fractured time, blending Caribbean history and speculative science into a tense, character-driven mystery.

Kevin Beckles is a writer from the Caribbean island of Barbados. A former corporate professional, he took early retirement to devote more time to his family, while moonlighting as a writer whenever life allows.
A lifelong storyteller at heart, Kevin has quietly penned poems, short stories, and songs over the years, often tucking them away rather than sharing them with the world. His work gravitates toward reimagining global themes through a distinctly Barbadian lens, blending the local with the universal in ways that feel both familiar and fresh.
In August 2018, under the pen name Kayio Beckles, he published his debut novel, Games: A Crime in Barbados — a gripping tale that marked his first step into the public literary world.
With roots in the island’s rich culture and an eye on the broader human experience, Kevin continues to develop stories that bridge borders while staying grounded in Caribbean soil.
