About Adriaan Brae

I write a mix of fantasy and science fiction with my co-author (and life partner) Rebecca Brae. We have 2 books published so far (Mist Warden series) and we're finishing up two stand-alone books. We're supposed to be working on Mist Warden book 3 but we adopted a baby instead!

Some of the writers that inspire me today are Lois McMaster Bujold, Sarah Zettel, Tess Sharpe. These authors take on tough questions about what it means to be moral and the destiny of humanity without flinching. They inspire me to be a better person, as well as a better writer.

In just the past few millennia humans have moved from chipping tools out of stones to space exploration and printing replacement organs. Every step on that path was driven by someone's imagination. My goal as an author is to bring back a sense of optimism. The dark side of our natures will always be with us but I'm convinced that humanity has an amazing future ahead.

Anthology Askew Volume 005: Fantastically Askew (Askew Anthologies Book 5) Jan 31, 2018

$1.99

This is the fifth installment of the Askew Anthology series, and this volume is about the worlds of fantasy. We challenged our writers to explore the realms of fantasy from new perspectives, such as magepunk (a blending of the steampunk genre with the magic elements of a fantasy) or other, outside the box takes.

We weren’t disappointed in the results. As usual, we found that sometimes, our askew authors and poets color far outside the lines, and that is a wonderful part of being askew as well. In these pages you will experience fantastic worlds where technology and magic coexist in harmony, and others where the two collide head-on, leaving a swath of pain and destruction in their wake. We have hidden worlds, journeys through time, and even a high-tech wizard or two.

This volume also marks the appearance of some of our youngest askew talent yet. Short stories, flash stories and poetry by some of the brightest new teen stars on the askew horizon await you in this volume.

Let go of your preconceived ideas about what fantasy means, come explore what being Fantastically Askew is all about, in both poetry and prose. We think you will find the journey one that you won’t soon forget.

Curse Bound (Mist Warden Book 2) Jan 31, 2016

by Adriaan Brae , Rebecca Brae

( 2 )

$5.99

When the world goes crazy, it helps to have a head start.

Mutant science projects, a troubled werewolf, and other magic-related dangers are Jessica’s new normal, but someone has started targeting the students of Coldwater High with powerful curses, and she’s a suspect. A serious mistake forces her to question whether she deserves Drew and Michiru’s loyalty, and with the gatekeeper’s alien influence in her head, she’s not even sure she can trust herself.

Just as Jessica realizes she has also been hit with a lethal curse, a disastrously magical Valentine’s Day leaves her cut off from friends and forces her to put her life in the hands of her worst enemy.

Parental Guidance: Contains swearing.

Chaos Bound (Mist Warden Book 1) Jan 4, 2015

by Adriaan Brae , Rebecca Brae

( 6 )

$5.99

Jessica never thought it would go this far. Here she was, trapped in her own basement with a monster who’d already eaten one of her friends and couldn’t wait to sink its shadowy claws into her.

She wasn’t anyone’s idea of a hero--a bookish computer nerd in way over her head.

If she’d just ignored the visions. Ignored the way the laws of physics seemed to be wavering. Ignored the voice of the Gatekeeper inside her head showing her the arcane secrets of magic, she could be blissfully ignorant of the death and pain stalking her small town.

But you can’t look away once you’ve seen real evil.

She'd been shunned by her (former) best friends. Her name was a joke at school. Her parents thought she was either already on drugs, or should be. And, her only allies were just as fragile and confused as her.

There's one thing this killer from the past hadn’t counted on...

When the going gets weird, the tough are useless. You need a geek.

Parental Guidance: Contains swearing and some gory scenes.
