At the top of this page you’ll find something I have been quietly working on in the evenings over the last week. Yes, it’s my online radio station. Why, after three previous attempts to make it viable? Because my supporters on Patreon overwhelmingly encouraged me to do so.

Women In Horror Year: Day 16
Bishop by Candace Nola
Hardcover - Paperback - eBook - Audiobook
"Caught between an ancient evil and a man with nothing to lose, a young girl's fate hangs in the balance."
Erin Rogers and her daughter Casey have been missing in the Alaskan wilderness for five days. Troy Spencer is determined to find his sister and niece at any cost. Once there, a local tells Troy about a loner, Bishop, a man shrouded in secrets, who may be his only hope.
As Troy sets out to find the mysterious Bishop, Casey is lost in the woods, alone and frightened, seeking help for her gravely injured mother. But she is not alone, something ancient stalks these forested trails, something evil that hungers for fresh blood.
The trio soon finds themselves caught in a struggle against time as an ancient rivalry is renewed.
Okay, first of all, if you’re looking at the cover and saying, “Oh, a werewolf novel!” then — spoiler — you need to look closer. Yes, shapeshifting and supernatural lycanthropy form the basis of this horror adventure novel, but there’s much more going on that what that first glance at the cover might suggest. Candace has a confident voice and is great with her visual action descriptions and internal emotional motivations. But what really spoke to me with Bishop is her mastery of using setting and place to help drive the story. The Great Northern wilds are so vividly detailed and fleshed out here, the wilderness very much feels like one of the main characters of the book. A fun, white-knuckled read. Bishop is available in hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook from Uncomfortably Dark.
Also note, as of this writing, Candace is undergoing a medical crisis and needs blood transfusions. A single mom, indie writer and publisher, she could use your help. Visit here for more details.
