Brandon Barr is an American author living in Southern California. He writes in the genres of science fiction and fantasy and often combines the two, preferring stories where the science is soft, the fantastic is vivid, and the flesh and soul characters are front and center. The Boy and the Beast Series is his breakout, genre-blending science-fantasy drama set in a vast fantasy universe where elements of science fiction are dominated by gods and monsters, visions and gifts.Barr has written dozens of short stories, many previously published in SF/F magazines and anthologies. He dabbled in writing modern YA and adventure fiction with a co-author, but has returned to his first love, sci-fi and fantasy.For updates on new releases, promos, freebies and giveaways, subscribe to his mailing list and connect with him at www.brandonbarr.com
