Brian Kindall is an author living in the mountains of Central Idaho, a world with long winters perfectly designed for holing up and writing novels. His books range in diversity from classically evergreen middle-grade novels - BLUE SKY, PEARL, and SPARROW - to the ongoing absurdist adult fiction series, The Epic of Didier Rain novels, DELIVERING VIRTUE and FORTUNA AND THE SCAPEGRACE, and a men's adventure satire, ESCAPE FROM OBLIVIA – One man’s midlife crisis gone primal. His accolades include the Gold Medal in Children's Fiction from The Moonbeam Children's Book Awards (SPARROW), The Global E-book Awards Gold Medal in Juvenile Fiction (SPARROW), starred reviews at BlueInk and Foreword Reviews, a finalist for ForeWord Reviews literary novel of the year award (DELIVERING VIRTUE), A Seal of Excellence awarded by Awesome Indies (DELIVERING VIRTUE), and Editor’s Choice at the Historical Novel Society (DELIVERING VIRTUE). Twisted humor, unusual mise-en-scene, and unexpected plot turns are a given in Brian’s work, as those long winters mentioned earlier tend to drive a writer slightly mad.
