We gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.
--Bruce Cockburn

Hello and welcome to the Dark Stuff. Don't blame me, though. Blame Stephen King. At fifteen, after reading Misery, he's the one who put me on the path of wanting to be a writer. Life gets in the way, however, and I proved no exception to this rule. Fast forward to 2017, when Down and Out Books takes a chance on an unlikely Canadian, and we end up at the beginning of Bishop Rider's story. There have been a lot of miles since that first book. A lot of bodies. All told, I aim to stack a boatload more.  The types of monsters in this world, the rapists, the pedophiles, the human traffickers, the very ones I intend to burn until I can no longer. Like a certain imaginary friend of mine likes to say: Time to go to work.
