Bishop Bear aims to “enable emerging storytellers,” launches Brandon Jozef’s debut novel Heroin Highway

January 14 22:54 2022

Founded in 2021 as a passion project by a collection of aspiring creative artists, Bishop Bear is the culmination of a shared mission to help new voices achieve their independent publishing goals by enabling emerging storytellers—and providing a platform to help them be successful so they can give back to the causes that inspired them to turn to the page, screen, or booth in the first place.

“One common thread between the founding members of Bishop Bear is having been raised by a village a women—many of them educators—and now having daughters themselves. Even with this debut thriller from Brandon Jozef, Heroin Highway, the emotional heartbeat of the story is truly the strong female characters that serve to push the storytelling progression and kick up twists throughout. Our next planned title is a children’s book currently in development that features a young girl showing her parents the ropes at bedtime through song, and our goal is to publish across the genre spectrum throughout 2022 and beyond,” a Bishop Bear spokesperson said.

A portion of the proceeds with be donated to an organization of each author’s choosing.

From Heroin Highway’s back cover:

The Hit. The Hunt. The Hustle.

An uprising, hidden in the streets of Juárez, Mexico, spills across the border. The Mexican cartel infiltrates our highest institutions, and a hitman targets the only thing Braxton Barrett holds dear – all to cover up… Lexington, Kentucky.

Barrett, a former Army Ranger turned police detective, uncovers layers of betrayal to save those he loves, while everyone around him suffers for knowing his name.

Nothing is sacred. No one is safe. Lexington, will never be the same.
