The Rideshare Chronicles
Volume I
Part of the Murder Mindset Series
Scott Benson is a hardworking single father of five, trying to support his family in the best way possible.
When his family business doesn’t bring in the money he needs and his finances are a mess, he takes a side job as a Rideshare driver.
Through his journals, Scott chronicles his experiences, and those of his colleagues, as a driver. His short stories encompass both the entertaining and disturbing aspects of his side job.
While he appears to have things under control, underneath his stoic facade, he is quietly unraveling. Scott won’t let anyone see his daily struggles or the things that are building up inside of him. His psyche is brimming with a darkness that would terrify those around him. With the tension building, he doesn’t know how much longer he can hold things together. And what would happen if he unleashes his inner corruption? Scott is afraid the world is about to find out.

The Murder Mindset Series
A trilogy of trilogies
Three strangers. Three vastly different walks of life. Three disparate stories. People that you’d come across every day. However, there’s a darkness brewing beneath the surface of these seemingly ordinary lives. The three are battling their pasts and trudging through their days. In all, these three individuals each have their own trilogy. But when their worlds collide, those who survive will never be the same.
The Rideshare Chronicles
Meet Scott. He’s an average Rideshare driver in Las Vegas. He’s there when he’s needed. He helps people get to where they need to be. But, he’s hiding something.
Scott, a forty-something single father, makes ends meet by moonlighting as a driver. He records his experiences in his journal. He’s struggling to maintain normalcy while he begins to crumble underneath the surface.
Scott’s story unfolds in three volumes. His journal shows how his Rideshare experiences add entertainment, joy, confusion, and ultimately darkness to his life. This darkness unleashed something that will wreak havoc in Scott’s life and will affect all those around him profoundly.
