edit data

Brian is an American fantasy author. Blood of an Exile is his debut novel, and the first in The Dragons of Terra series. The sequel, Sorcery of a Queen, will be published in August, 2020.

Brian grew up in Maryland but hates crab-cakes. He now lives in Colorado.

When he's not writing, he’s usually griping about video games on Twitter, hiking with his dog, Lola, or whitewater kayaking in the mountains. The last activity makes his mother very nervous.

You can connect with him at briannaslund.com.

Looking back on 2019....

Wow. It has been a year.

Some amazing things happened. A few not-so great events. And in general, 2019 was a whirlwind for me. I’ll start with the cool stuff:

2019 Awesome Events:

1. HOLY SHIT MY FIRST BOOK GOT PUBLISHED.

2. Blood of an Exile was also named a “Best Book of the Year” by Kirkus and Amazon. A Twitter alert woke me up with the news, and I truly thought it was a dream at the time.

I fell in love with Kinch on page one. He's a hilarious narrator and I was also touched by his sensitivity. Christopher's world building is unique, precise, and masterfully woven into a page-turning story. I couldn't put it down. There's joyful mischi ...more

I read The Reapers Are the Angels quite a few years ago, but I remember exactly my feelings on it after I finished: "That was badass." I dug the southern-gothic style writing applied to a zombie apocalypse. I dug the tightly-woven adventure and action. ...more

Brian Naslund answered Alaina's question: How many books will there be in this series? Hey Alaina, At least two more. The sequel, SORCERY OF A QUEEN, hits bookshelves August 4th, 2020 in the US (August 6th in the UK). I am also hard at work on Book III.

“That’s what made life such a bastard—guilt rode on your back heavy and hard and relentless. Redemption was light as a feather. Easy to forget entirely.”
