New release: Escape from Oblivia, One Man's Midlife Crisis Gone Primal
I have a new release, a stand-alone adult fiction novel called ESCAPE FROM OBLIVIA: One Man's Midlife Crisis Gone Primal. The description:
He fantasizes about saving damsels in distress and battling beasts. He’d better be careful what he wishes for…
Will Kirby has hit his mid-life crisis at full speed. Once a rugged outdoorsman, he’s now soft around the middle and trapped in the banality of minivans, suburbia, and his eight-year-old’s dance recitals. But his constant daydreams of heroic adventure suddenly fall within his grasp when an old pulp author’s journals reveal a portal to another world.
Immediately forced to rescue two gorgeous babes from attack by a Japanese Zero, Will lands ashore on an island paradise brimming with adrenaline-pumping action and consequence-free sex. But with danger around every turn and the faint call of his former life tugging at his mind, he wonders if his fantasy has turned into a deranged nightmare.
Can Will discover what it really means to be a man before he’s forever lost to an illusion?
Escape from Oblivia is a hilarious exploration of the male psyche. If you like absurdist fiction, irreverent irony, and satirical stabs at tired tropes, then you’ll love Brian Kindall’s racy romp into freedom.
Read it and let me know what you think!

New Release: SPARROW, middle-grade fiction novel
I have a new middle-grade fiction novel coming out tomorrow, February 1, 2022! Foreword Clarion rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
A boy. A wish. A secret desire gone horribly wrong.
Timothy Sperling misses his mom and dad terribly. Left behind with his morose uncle while they’re off on an expedition to avert an environmental crisis, the bird-boned boy would give anything to see them again. But when he spies a shooting star, instead of wishing to be reunited with his parents, he falters and asks for snow… only to conjure up a blizzard that won't quit!
As a town that never sees winter is buried in mountains of white, Timothy teams up with a wise explorer to figure out how to stop the relentless frozen flakes. And with all the blame being shoveled on his family, the clever kid’s connection to sparrows may be his one chance to pull the city out of its deep freeze.
Can Timothy undo his fateful wish and bring back the sunshine?
Sparrow is a high-flying middle-grade novel. If you or your child like relatable characters, timeless settings, and high-stakes adventure, then you’ll love Brian Kindall’s feathered flurries.
