Lindsay Brambles was born in Ottawa, Canada. At the age of nine, when his father, an electrical engineer, signed on for a job overseas, Lindsay began a decade of living and traveling in countries such as Pakistan, Iran, and Tanzania.

After grade three, his formal education was largely through the Ontario Ministry of Education correspondence course. He has spent most of his post-academic life in a variety of unrelated jobs, ranging from construction to childcare, all while pursuing a vocation as an artist.

When his most recent job came to an end Lindsay decided to take the plunge and devote more of his energy to writing. The gamble paid off when he  obtained an agent with the Andrea Brown Literary Agency. In late 2013 he signed a contract with Capstone for his YA novel Becoming Darkness, which was released in the fall of 2015 through Capstone's Switch Press.  http://www.capstoneyoungreaders.com/sites/SwitchPress/index.html#.VL6WjLk5C00

When not engaged in the literary arts, painting, or earning money in less creative pursuits, Lindsay enjoys anything fitness related, collecting Gold Key comics and motion picture soundtracks, tinkering with computers, and just about anything that will expand his awareness of the world around him. Passionate about all science, he is especially interested in astronomy, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. He also used to fly gliders, once had a run-in with a bull elephant in Arusha National Park, has deep-sea fished off Karachi, dived off coral reefs near Dar es Salaam, ridden camels in Pakistan, and wandered through countless archeological ruins.

Lindsay is currently seeking new agent representation for his illustrated YA retro SF raygun gothic novel ROCKET BOY AND THE QUEEN OF THE STARS. You can see samples of the many illustrations and more details about this work at www.lindsaybrambles.com
