About the author

Brendan's love affair with writing started at a very young age. His earliest series, the original crayon and pencil versions of Nukular Wars in Space (originally entitled Nukular Wars in Spac, the 'e' was added later) sprouted from his early love of science fiction.

Ever the creative type, Brendan found what opportunities he could to put his ideas on paper. Choosing creative options on assignments, jotting down poetry, and making up songs with his friends, Brendan laid the groundwork for what would become his true passion.

Though he had attempted on multiple occasions to begin a novel-length work, he never found the inspiration to stick with it until his freshman year of college. While walking through the snow on an empty field on the Villanova University campus, he conceived the beginnings of The Traveler. The first two installments from the series (The Book of Iden) are available now with parts 3 and 4 in the edit stage.

Oh, and he didn't write 'They Loved Him to Death.' Goodreads has ignored his messages about that.
