Derek Rush was born in Massachusetts in 1973. There, he grew up amidst the East Coast chaos with a fondness for all things horror, delving into the works of King and Koontz for future inspiration.
An accomplished artist, he has had several drawings published within and on the covers of various historical publications, such as America's Civil War, Military History, and World War II.
After serving a brief stint with the Marine Corps in the early 90's, he now works as a truck driver, writing and creating art in his free time.
