Bradley P. Beaulieu fell in love with fantasy from the moment he began reading The Hobbit in third grade. While Bradley earned a degree in computer science and engineering and worked in the information technology field for years, he could never quite shake his desire to explore other worlds. He began writing his first fantasy novel in college. It was a book he later trunked, but it was a start, a thing that proved how much he enjoyed the creation of stories. It made him want to write more. He went on to write The Lays of Anuskaya series as well as The Song of Shattered Sands series. He has published work in the Realms of Fantasy Magazine, Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, Writers of the Future 20, and several anthologies. He has won the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Award and earned a Gemmell Morningstar Award nomination
Praise for The Song of Shattered Sands series:
“Çeda and Emre share a relationship seldom explored in fantasy, one
that will be tried to the utmost as similar ideals provoke them to
explore different paths. Wise readers will hop on this train
now, as the journey promises to be breathtaking.” —Robin
Hobb, bestselling author of Fool’s Assassin
"Fantasy and horror, catacombs and sarcophagi, resurrections and
revelations: the book has them all, and Beaulieu wraps it up in a
package that's as graceful and contemplative as it is
action-packed and pulse-pounding." —NPR
"The Song of Shattered Sands series is both gripping and
engrossing." —Kirkus Reviews
"Beaulieu's intricate world-building and complex
characters are quickly becoming the hallmarks of his writing,
and if this opening volume is any indication, [this series] will be
one of the next great fantasy epics." —B&N SF&F Blog
"The city of Sharakhai and surrounding area is a living, breathing
thing and I revel in it. Beautiful writing, a deep and
exciting story and characters you care about." —Shelf
Inflicted
"[Beaulieu's] writing is more an immersive
experience than anything else; he draws the reader in with
such great skill. The first novel was an electrifying start to the
series, providing a spectacular introduction to a multi-layered and
captivating character living in a world whose layers match her
own." —SFF World
"[With Blood Upon the Sand] is an ambitious sequel, larger in scope
than its predecessor – and it pulls it off magnificently.
It’s intelligent, well drawn and a lot of fun to read –
and so I’d recommend it wholeheartedly." —Sci-fi and Fantasy
