About

Dwayne Kavanagh, as a child, found comfort in the dark corners of his imagination. In 2005, he sat down in a small home office and let the stories transfer from those lightless caverns to the bright screen of his laptop computer and has been scribbling every day since. Dwayne was born in Toronto and raised in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. He lives with his Fiancée, Nicky and her sports fanatic son Lucas, and with unconditional love for his beautiful daughters Megan and Emily, in southern Ontario.

Dwayne has shown that he knows how to put together a complicated plot that holds together and rings true right from the outset. <br />Not wanting to give too much away, I'll just say this: it starts with the story of Tim Hadler, a creepy but not necessarily so unusual character in our world today. At the same time we learn that a serial killer with a bizarre signature is killing seemingly random women. Is Tim the killer? Is it someone else? Who is going to die next? Is it someone we know or a stranger? <br />It's hard for me to say any more without telling you too much, and you are going to want to find it out for yourself as you turn these pages. One tip though: don't read it before you go to bed. <br />I'm looking forward to a long career for Dwayne. He'll have a place on my bookshelf anytime. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
