About Brandon Doughty
Brandon lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, daughter and son and their favorite furry family member (Ellen) Ripley. After working at Apple for twenty-five years helping launch such services as the iTunes Music Store and iCloud, and in supply chain launching finished goods devices for the same company, he now writes full time.
You can find Brandon’s short fiction in publications like Punk Noir , Black Glass Pages, Roi Fainéant, Aethlon: The Journal of Sports Literature, Yellow Mama, the anthology Crimeucopia: Totally Psycho Logical and the upcoming winter issue of Thriller. He’s just completed his first novel and is currently querying for representation.
Originally from East Texas, Brandon often draws on that history for some his favorite short fiction. Finding ways to draw out conflicts and harmonies between rural and urban characters in extreme situations. He also enjoys going to the movies and you can find him attending TX Frightmare each year to meet some of his movie idols. Occasionally you’ll find him playing bass, poorly.
New to the scene, Brandon is a member of the Writer’s League of Texas and the Horror Writers Association. He has not made any appearances at writer’s cons as yet, but hopes to begin soon as he promotes his debut novel.
