Bradley P. Beaulieu began writing his first fantasy novel in college, but in the way of these things, it was set aside as life intervened. As time went on, though, Brad realized that his love of writing and telling tales wasn't going to just slink quietly into the night. The drive to write came back full force in the early 2000s, at which point Brad dedicated himself to the craft, writing several novels and learning under the guidance of writers like Nancy Kress, Joe Haldeman, Tim Powers, Holly Black, Michael Swanwick, Kij Johnson, and many more.Brad and his novels have garnered many accolades and most anticipated lists, including two Hotties--the Debut of the Year and Best New Voice--on Pat's Fantasy Hotlist, a Gemmell Morningstar Award nomination for The Winds of Khalakovo and more:* Top Ten Book and Debut of the Year for 2011 on Pat's Fantasy Hotlist for The Winds of Khalakovo* Best New Voice of 2011 on Pat's Fantasy Hotlist* 2011 Gemmell Morningstar Award Nomination for The Winds of Khalakovo* Top Ten Debut for The Winds of Khalakovo on Ranting Dragon's Best of 2011* Top Ten Debut for The Winds of Khalakovo on Mad Hatter's Best of 2011* Honorable Mention for The Winds of Khalakovo on LEC Reviews Best of 2011* Top Five Book for 2012 on Pat's Fantasy Hotlist for The Straits of Galahesh* 2012 Most Anticipated for The Straits of Galahesh on Staffer's Book Review* 2012 Most Anticipated for The Straits of Galahesh on The Ranting Dragon* 2013 Most Anticipated for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh on The Ranting DragonIn addition to being an L.
