Author Walter Strychowskyj has always observed people and their personal life stories. He, with his wife, has worked in the real estate business for years. But the market slowdown has also compelled him to become a cab driver. However, there was an unexpected chapter that let him face-to-face with a plethora of personalities full of everyday dramas.

Walter’s love for storytelling quietly nurtured through it all. He used to write short stories as his hobby, but then came the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, he had enough time and the opportunity. This led him to transform one of his favorite short stories into something meaningful. His debut novel, Gifted, is a crime family drama and paranormal suspense story about developing psychic abilities.

It is one of the best psychological thriller books in many ways. You can consider it the honest reflection of Walter’s perspective about people, that they have a story hidden in their heart worth telling. Walter graduated from McMaster University with a Bachelor of Physical Education and lives with his wife in Hamilton, Ontario.
