Turned onto reading at an early age–the product of bible stories given as punishment for stealing candy from a drug store–Brent Bowen devours books of all genres. Since then, Brent’s first paid, published story was a tweet (per word it’s a pretty good gig), and he’s studied with Elizabeth Bear, Debra Doyle, Steven Gould, James Macdonald, Laura J. Mixon, Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden, and John Scalzi at the 2009 Viable Paradise XIII writer’s workshop. He is also the former executive producer for the Parsec award-winning podcast Adventures in Scifi Publishing and current host of The Hump! Podcast. Brent lives in a Kansas City suburb with his wife, two children, mutt Ripley and Phoggy the pug. Learn more about Brent and his work at HeSaysSheSaysKC.com.
