Hey there! I'm Bryan, your friendly neighborhood storyteller from the charming city of Preston in Lancashire. Picture this: a rollercoaster ride of a life, filled with twists, turns, and a sprinkle of magic. As a little tyke, I hopped from one foster home to another, it was like playing musical chairs, but with homes!

Each stop on this journey wasn't just a challenge; it was a treasure chest of stories, brimming with hope and heroism. Fast forward to my teen years, where I dived headfirst into the enchanting realm of historical dramas. Think of me as a pint-sized Indiana Jones, minus the hat and whip, dreaming up escapades and mysteries. My storytelling quest whisked me away to the rugged terrains of Iraq and Afghanistan, under starlit skies where my imagination ran wild. And voila, Darkleich was born, a world as mystical as it sounds!

I didn't stop there. Armed with a pen and a truckload of ideas, I crafted the 'Black Watch' series and a standalone gem, 'Blood & Tequila - The Devil Never Makes A Deal'. My tales aren't just stories; they're beacons of light, whispering a powerful mantra: "No matter the storm, we've all got an inner superhero ready to shine.”

Now, let's teleport to my cozy nook in Falls Church, Virginia. My home is a wonderland, bursting with love, giggles, and a fantastic furry brigade – Otis, Mr. Humphreys, Elim, and Miss Slocombe. Imagine the aroma of my culinary experiments wafting through the air, intertwined with the timeless tunes of Neil Diamond and John Denver.

Pull up a chair by our fireplace or join us at the dinner table. As we break bread, I'll take you on a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about sun-kissed summers with my grandparents and escapades in the Lake District. When you dive into my books, you're not just reading; you're hopping aboard a spaceship to a galaxy of my life's adventures and heartfelt stories. So, welcome aboard, fellow explorer! Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride. Happy reading!
