If you’ve been following my socials (and why the heck haven’t you??) you know that I’ve been pretty active in the Go Indie Now community. You can see my latest wide-ranging, somewhat silly interview here.
The best part, besides being able to promote my work, is meeting all the other authors and artists that are part of that community. On an episode of This Week in Indies (you can see it here) I meat the prolific Bryan Tann. Thought you might want to meet him too.
Alright man, what’s your story?
How’s it going everyone?! I’m Bryan Tann, born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I write fiction that includes Urban Fantasty, Science Fiction, Horror, and Erotic Crime. I have a black belt in Kenpo and a recognized black belt in Goju Ryu, the real life equivalent of Miyagi Do Karate! I have an MBA with a focus on Leadership and I have more movies and funko pops than I can count!
I can appreciate the writing in more than one genre, even if it makes you hard to categorize. What are a couple of your books about?
My Urban Fantasy novels in The Enforcer series follow the adventures of Bryce Kreed, a vampire enforcer tasked with protecting a Mistress Vampire from a Clandestine Blood Cult.
My Sci Fi series follow the adventures of John Baker, a government created super soldier tasked with hunting down a terrorist until he finds he’s on the wrong side.
My Erotic Thriller, Ed and Livvy, tells the tale of a couple who have both suffered. Together they have made the decision; never again.
I know that the vampire enforcer has an interesting history. Where did he come from?
Bryce Kreed was a recurring nightmare from my late teens and early 20s. I had a psychotic break and became the character. I decided to take back my peace of mind, and made my trauma into a character.
Who did this to you? Who did you read that really influenced you?
I love Robert R. McCammon. His book Swan Song changed my life. I’m also a fan of my writing partner Kindra Sowder.
If you’re tired of werewolf detectives (WHAT?!!!) Check out the exciting historical fiction action of Acre’s Bastard and Acre’s Orphans. Can one small boy save the Kingdom of Jerusalem? It’s like Kipling’s Kim, set in the Crusades.
