B.W. Prulhiere has spent much of his life asking questions, taking things apart, and occasionally putting them back together. His interests are varied, but his love of storytelling has always been a constant. His debut novel, PANOPTICON, grew from a question that fascinated him: What if someone could experience thirty years in prison while only a few hours passed in the outside world? What began as an exploration of technology and human perception gradually became something much darker. He writes science fiction, psychological suspense, and horror, drawn to stories that challenge what we think we know about reality and what happens when the familiar suddenly becomes frightening.
