THE WRITERS LOUNGE PRESENTS: BRANDON FORD

Join hosts Tom & Lou Riddell as they welcome author Brandon Ford to The Writers Lounge. Sit back and relax as Brandon discusses what it's like to be a writer and he will also talk to us about his book: DECAYED ETCHINGS- a compilation of 18 short stories that will keep you in the spirit of  Halloween.

 Brandon Ford grew up in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he still resides. He started writing at the approximate age of 8. He wrote dramas, comedies, essays, plays, and, of course, thrillers. There were few things he took pleasure in crafting more than a good old-fashioned scary story.

Throughout grade school, as well as high school, he continued to build his portfolio with various works (mostly short stories and novellas, but a few plays here and there). A few months shy of 23, he sat down to pen his first novel, which became Crystal Bay.  Arctic Wolf Publishing, a small press based in Georgia, picked the book up a few years later. Shortly thereafter, he completed Splattered Beauty, an ode to his favorite Scream Queens. In 2009, he teamed up with Alan Draven and Jessica Lynne Gardner for Creeping Shadows, a collection of three short novels. Ford’s contribution, Merciless, was heavily inspired by a real-life kidnapping that took place in California in 2002. In March 2010, Arctic Wolf released his third novel, Pay Phone. Ford has also contributed works of short fiction to several anthologies. In July of 2011, he released Decayed Etchings from Black Bed Sheet Books- this his very first collection of short fiction.
