The Nova Quadrant
Brian discovered when he was young that he enjoyed writing, but it wasn’t until he was in high school when he realized he had a gift for drawing readers into his stories. Edgar Allan Poe was an early influence; when he saw the reactions of high school classmates when they read his Poe-like stories, he became hooked on writing fiction.
After a TV/Film and writing education at Oral Roberts University, Brian wrote a number of feature-length screenplays; two film shorts have been produced.
After writing commentary for a mid-sized newspaper and an online site for more than a decade, Brian felt the tug back into fiction. His first novel, Children of the Sun, is a story which goes back to his younger days, when he imagined space aliens coming to claim him as one of their own while other aliens tried to kill him.
His fascination with dreams led to the psychological thriller Dead Dreams, and his enjoyment of exploring his characters’ descent into mental chaos served as the basis for Wager of Death. His family ties are reflected in the true World War II story Paper Doll, which follows his grandfather’s family through the deeply challenging years of 1937 through 1945. His most recent novel, The Nova Quadrant, features his dive back into sci-fi.
With a range that runs from sci-fi to psychological thrillers to comedy, Brian does not feel the constraints of a specific genre. The fun is in the story and characters. Over time, for your reading enjoyment, keep an eye out for what is WrittenByBWP.
