About Me:
Brendan's fondest childhood memories are laying in his childhood bedroom in Northridge, CA with his dad reading aloud to him. His love of reading soon eclipsed any amount of reading aloud his parents could do, so they shoveled innumerable books his direction to stop him from asking annoying questions, like 'what's smaller than the smallest thing?', and 'why does blue look blue and not red?'
He picked up writing in elementary school, but fell out of the habit with harsh feedback from his Catholic School teachers that his stories were too outside the norm. He picked up writing again during his undergraduate studies at University of California, Davis, and has continued to write ever since.
Outside of writing, Brendan is a board game designer, woodworker, surfer, and a serial volunteer. He lives with his wife, two dogs, two frogs, and nine lizards.
