Nathan C. Brindle is a senior software engineer with a BA and most of an MA in History. There is a story behind that, of course. He's worked 30+ years for a company in Maryland you've probably never heard of, despite living in Indianapolis, Indiana, for all but one year of his life, while the History he spent so much time and money studying has been mostly just a hobby. (Life comes at you fast. The 1990s were only 10 years ago, right?)

He is happily married to his lady Sally (25 years in 2025!), with whom he has two cats and several duct-tape children, one of whom has graced him with two grandchildren upon whom he dotes. His educational background is in History, mostly American Diplomatic, American Military, and Japanese General History. He reads and speaks just enough Japanese to order food in a Japanese restaurant, to ask where the restroom is, or to get into a bar fight in a Tokyo izakaya.

One of the lifetime accomplishments he's proudest of is being a 33rd Degree Sovereign Grand Inspector General and honorary member of the Supreme Council, 33rd Degree, of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. There's a story behind that, too.

Since 2013, he is also an amateur radio operator, and holds an Amateur Extra Class license. Because he didn't have enough expensive hobbies already.

While he's written fiction off and on since junior high school, it was the 2020 WuFlu lockdowns that really got him motivated to start writing SF again – and to do it right, this time. That's resulted in 7 novels, 11 shorter "light novels," an ultra-short story, and an AI art book in just six years, while still working full-time at his real job. At this writing (October 2025), there's a new Timelines novel and a standalone story of a far-future Galactic Empire in the works.

You can find links to all of his books at his website, nathanbrindle.com, along with other fun stuff related to his writing.
