They say everyone’s favorite subject is themselves. This may be true, but I’ve always felt awkward writing about myself and my personal life. I don’t usually find myself reading the “about the author” section in other writer’s works. They bore me. Although, I read a fantasy novel recently where the about the author section simply listed information about their dungeons and dragon’s character. Well done.
As I am not a level 46 elf-fairy hybrid with magic spells, I’ll tell you a bit about myself. My name is Brian Gates. No pen name. I enjoy many activities, with reading topping out the list. Please try to contain your shock. A writer who enjoys reading? Preposterous. In the literary world I find myself reading Dean R Koontz more than probably any other author. I’ve always admired his style, the way he can blend genres seamlessly. Many others have influenced me too, including but not limited to: George Orwell, Stephen King, D.J. MacHale and Andy Weir. For other activities, you’ll either find me playing video games or hiking. I’ve been informed that drinking is not an appropriate hobby to list in this section. So I shan’t mention it.
I live in Northeast Ohio, graduated from Kent State in 2014, and currently have one cat and one dog. The dog is a chihuahua. If you ever encounter it, she probably won’t like you. I also live with my fiancé. She’s very supportive and gracious enough to inform me that I need to retake my author photos. Apparently, neon is tacky. Anyway, this has gone on quite long enough. Back to work on the Project Renaissance series. I think you’ll like this one.
