How Gregory Galloway’s crime novel ‘All We Trust’ emerged from personal loss

On August 1, 2025, Gregory Galloway and Paul Tremblay appeared together at a bookstore event in Kent, CT, where they discussed Galloway's latest novel, All We Trust.
Galloway developed All We Trust inspired by his longstanding interest in crime fiction and the recent passing of his 94-year-old father.
The novel follows two small-time criminals, Al and Peck, whose partnership deteriorates amid a fire, a missing hard drive, and growing mistrust involving Peck's teenage daughter, Sara.
Galloway explained he redacted some names for realism and sought to reshape the femme fatale trope through Sara, who is smart, sensible, and not sexualized, saying, “I saw this as an opportunity to flip it.”
Galloway's father's encouragement with “Keep writing” continues to motivate him, and the novel’s themes suggest a focus on ordinary people facing desperate, abnormal situations.
