About the author
Aaron L. Bratcher
5 books39 followersAaron L. Bratcher is a multi-genre author best known for the Galaxies Collide series, a fast-paced, first-contact YA science fiction adventure that readers are comparing to the golden age joy of Tom Swift, Heinlein, and Asimov, reimagined for a new generation.
By day, Aaron is a Senior iOS Developer at JP Morgan Chase, where he builds the kind of complex, precision-driven systems that demand both technical mastery and creative problem-solving. That same disciplined imagination fuels every page of his fiction - from the wormhole mechanics of Niton's colony to the mysterious mind-link that threatens to dissolve the boundary between his protagonist Fanar and the alien species known as the Trociabk.
Aaron lives in northern Georgia with his wife, dogs, and fish. When he is not writing, he leads a local writing critique group, volunteers at his church, travels with family, and finds joy in playing games. He is also the author of A Ghost Story, Last Dance, and Creating iOS Apps with Xcode.
His storytelling has been called "a widespread imagination that results in ideas that make you wonder how he came up with them", and whether you are a lifelong science fiction fan or someone picking up their very first space adventure, Aaron's books have a way of making you forget to put them down.
📚 Galaxies Collide (Book 1) — Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook on Spotify
📚 Galaxies Collide: Song of the Boshag (Book 2) — Available in paperback and ebook
