Thompson is a retired public relations liaison and currently a Calgary, Canada-based author of three literary/historical novels: (1) No More Blood - Epilogue to the life of Truman Capote & In Cold Blood; (2) Eighteen Minutes to the Beast - a Nixon Watergate Thriller; (3) Sessions - Predator vs. Shrink Who will survive? The overriding theme in B. J.’s work concerns the process of death, where iconic people, disquieting ideals and/or milestone events are tweaked and warped ever so slightly to reveal an answer to a long-held mystery or a societal question. It’s in those final moments in life where the ultimate truth plays the only role. Born and raised in the Lake Country District of southern Ontario, Canada and an only child to an RCMP Constable father and Industrial Accountant mother, B. J. who grew up very Anglo-Saxon, very Northern Irish. Funeral wakes were a large part of B. J.’s life, starting at the tender age of three, so death—its meaning and role in life—took centre stage. This author has done extensive travelling and now lives to swim, hike and fish in the Rocky Mountains, enjoy friends and family, and lead an avant-garde writer's group likened on the 1920s Paris “Lost Generation.” B. J.’s upcoming historical epic, AIR, tells of six US Navy sailors fighting to survive inside the capsized USS Oklahoma after the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. All six, trapped below the sea, find out there can be far worse things in life than death. AIR is due to be released December 7, 2020.

Would you sacrifice your soul to see into the mind of a serial killer for seven days? Justice will be served, but never before like this. Sessions, a mind-bending psychological noir, delves into the minds of two women as they go head-to-head in seven therapy sessions, taking the terms “treatment” and “killer” and flipping them on their heads. Is there a real life family connection to the killer’s evil? And if she has never been caught, is there someone infamous in her life who has? The "Entity" marks its territory through the pastoral environs of Vermont; Mount Mansfield, a Burlington art gallery, a sugar maple farm and inside the psychiatrist’s office, housed within a majestic Victorian mansion eerily familiar to more than one soul. This is not a police procedural, my friends. . . ~~~Are you game to be a fly on this therapy wall? Well, have a seat in the waiting room, won't you? Your Sessions are about to begin…~ If you like tales that leave you disturbed long after you read The End, buy Sessions. What have you got to lose but your mind? ~
