Lorne Oliver (1974-)Was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada His writing journey started at the age of ten because of Mrs. Staples, a great school librarian, and something called The Young Authors Club. Because of his love of Sherlock Holmes stories he started writing short mysteries and then Lorne changed to romance from a male perspective. He enjoyed books written by the likes of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity and Karen Brichoux's Coffee and Kung Fu. While in PEI, thanks to his wife, Lorne had the opportunity to interview several members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It gave him the chance to write a story based on the idea he had for a long time of showing the officer chasing down a serial killer while letting the reader see how a little kid could grow up to be a monster. That is done, but there are more monsters that need to speak.
