Author Bio:
Brendan Corbett grew up in a military family, always on the move, living in North Carolina, Virginia, Rhode Island, and Okinawa, Japan all before he was ten. Books were both the foundation of stability and the ultimate escape, companions to other worlds that could journey with him even when friends could not. He has always been drawn to fiction and more particularly fantasy, offering the ability to travel in his mind when the traveling of his feet grew tiresome.
As an adult his career turned away from the arts. He worked in places ranging from job shops to plastics manufacturing to nonprofit operations. While these roles were fun and fulfilling in their own ways, through all these experiences he’s been driven to return to his love of writing.
He now resides in Oregon with his wife, son, and dog. While writing consumes much of his time, you may also find him at one of my many other pastimes – cooking, gardening, hiking, playing piano, building LEGO, attending a show, gaming, practicing archery, volunteering, or woodworking.
