About the author

Brett Davis is a lifelong writer of both journalism and fiction. Growing up in north Alabama, he learned both about the Tuskegee Airmen and the German rocket scientists in Huntsville who helped put men on the moon. He’s glad to be able to bring their stories together in his latest novel, The Moon Above.

Brett is the author of five science fiction and fantasy novels but spends most of his time writing nonfiction about robots and drones. He studied journalism and photography at the University of North Alabama and the University of Missouri and has lived in Washington longer than anywhere else, but it doesn’t seem to have done him any harm.

He’s an avid runner and biker and likes to spend as much time underwater as possible. He also bakes a mean scone. Follow him on Twitter at Brett_Davis and Instagram at Bsivad.

Reviews

[Fionn Fellin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun read, with many pop culture references, although there were a few elements that could have been executed better. The ending was satisfying for the heroes, but also confusing, as there appeared to be a few loose ends left in the plot, but overall it was a good story.

[David Palazzolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave The Faery Convention a five star rating in spite of some of its flaws because Brett Davis makes accessible a complex world with complex situations and gives the whole thing an air of plausibility. This is an incredibly fun read, and gives me an idea what it would be like if Vince Flynn of Brad Thor wrote a fantasy novel. The major problem with the book is that it is too short, so there isn't enough delving into the alternate history of the setting and we also have a very rushed climax. But don't let that stop you from picking up one of the best urban fantasies I've read in a long time. Enjoy!!

this was a fun read I picked up for the fantastical creatures/people who appeared.
