About Brian Burns
Brian Burns lives in Southern California with 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 wife—which, after extensive research, he has determined to be the optimal ratio for maintaining both chaos and sanity. When he’s not chronicling the misadventures of wealthy expatriates or wondering what would happen if office workers could time travel (because clearly the world needs more of both), he can be found reading everything from Hemingway to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, proving that his literary tastes are as confused as his characters.
Brian also writes poetry that he genuinely believes is brilliant, though his family’s enthusiastic silence suggests they may disagree. His dogs, however, are excellent listeners and have never once criticized his meter or rhyme schemes.
The Bar Tab Also Rises is his debut novel, and he promises his next book will involve even more ridiculous problems, because apparently that’s his specialty now. He is currently working on an office comedy featuring time travel, because someone needs to answer the important question: “What if your terrible coworkers could follow you through history?”
When not writing, Brian enjoys contemplating whether velociraptors would make good office pets and why anyone thought giving him a keyboard was a good idea.
