The author spent a good portion of his childhood growing up in the back country of Canada. His tracking skills gave him an advantage in his career as an undercover detective and as a bodyguard, a profession which extended until his retirement in the 1990's. He took what he learned in the country and applied it to working the streets; it was just a different forest to play in. Writing much in the manner of the master authors late Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, Baker captivates the reader with interesting characters and intriguing plots filled with mesmerizing twists and turns. "Writing fictional books is like sailing through different worlds that may not be afforded us in real life. Authors command the adventure and realize the result without giving in to status quo. Putting the words to paper is scaling the impossible and immersing oneself in a dimension of imagination. It is a mind drug with incredible side effects." - Bryce A Baker
