Francis, Brian: - Brian Francis is a retired psychiatric nurse who was born and raised in New England. He has lived a life frequently expressed in one art form or another. Music, theater, and now writing have all played a part in helping him to maintain an even keel. When he is not dabbling in the arts, he can often be found on his tractor or building odd projects. He and his wife Alycia live with their seven rescued pets on a sustainable homestead in the Pacific Northwest. Unrelenting is his first book.
