About Brian
Brian Naslund was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where he never quite learned to love crab cakes. As a technology-soaked millennial, his first taste of fantasy wasn’t from Tolkien or the other amazing fantasy writers he now loves, but instead from watching his older brother play video games in the basement; he developed a lifelong obsession with flawed characters lugging swords around in the wilderness.
Brian spent his early twenties living in Manhattan and subsisting off ramen and cheap vodka, and now lives in Colorado. He still eats ramen but traded the vodka for craft-brewed IPAs. Brian is now a product director for a tech company, and first started writing about dragons to escape the crushing boredom of his incredibly long bus commute.
Blood of an Exile is his debut novel, and the first in The Dragons of Terra series; 2020 saw the second novel in the series, Sorcery of a Queen.
For our advent calendar, Brian muses on chess injuries, Wolverine and campside banter.
