edit data

Brandon Hale grew up in a small Virginia town. It was in that town that he met his first love: Horror books and movies. He wrote his first full length novel when he was 17. In the decades since, he has written nonstop, producing multiple novels and short stories.

Brandon's first published novel was The Gods and the Builders. Shortly after that, his second novel - Day Soldiers - was released. Brandon is currently finishing up the second book in the Day Soldiers trilogy (which should be released in late June). The third Day Soldiers book is expected to be released by late August.

Brandon still lives in Virginia with his wife Laura.
