Bio
This biography is a placeholder.
Brad Carson is a 2010 Aurora Award Finalist and currently eligible for the John W. Campbell Award for best new science fiction or fantasy writer whose first work of science fiction or fantasy was published in a professional publication in the previous two years.
Though born and raised on an Ontario tobacco farm, Brad has spent most of his time in cities working in theatre, where he learned the craft of writing dialogue and the value of strong coffee. Currently he can be seen -- or not seen as that is the nature of the job -- as a background performer in movies and television.
He has planted trees, managed bookstores, painted buildings, wheel-barrowed gravel for swimming pools and served as a security guard. These days he lives in Toronto with Arlene Stinchcombe, and a wayfaring cat named Mooch. The former is his collaborator on an in-progress high fantasy and the latter just likes to be scratched behind the ears.
He loves to travel and has heard whispers from hundred year old oaks in Wistman's Woods in Dartmoor, England and wandered Druid paths in Snowdonia, Wales.
He is a proud member of two Toronto writing crews - the Stop-Watch Gang and Robert J. Sawyer's group, The Fledglings.
"Here There Be Monsters" was his first professional sale in the fantasy genre.
