Brian Engles grew up by the sea and now finds it impossible to create art anywhere else. He is a dedicated writing tutor, a talented musician, and a fun uncle.
I work as a writing tutor in my home of Cape Cod. Most of my students are middle grade boys who struggle with critical thinking and analytical writing. Being a tutor gives me an insight into what kids are dealing with these days, which both informs and inspires my stories.
In 2015 I contributed an article to a small, online publication called Cape Cod Pulse. http://www.capecodpulse.com/co... In college I had a music review featured in a now defunct magazine, the BU Buzz. I also recently collaborated with photographer Ben Allsup on a photo essay about my experience of learning how to fish on his site BenShotMe. http://benshotme.com/selected-...
Eight years ago I won the second place prize for the Lt. James Pafford Essay Contest about “Why I Loved the United States of America.” This landed me a check for 5,000$ at the age of seventeen. I proceeded to spend the money on junk food and concert tickets. Even though my spending habits haven’t changed much, I’m still hopeful that won’t be the last time I make money off my craft.

It's almost here... On April 12, Wildball will officially be released. So let's get the word out!
If you're willing to share on social media, please use this link ON THURSDAY when encouraging people to buy. It'd be huge to get in Amazon Top 10 for Young Adult titles on the day of release.
If you don't do social media or if you'd rather give love to a bookstore, send friends to Eight Cousins in Falmouth, Bunch of Grapes on the Vineyard, or Market St. Bookshop in Mashpee for Cape people. If you're in Boston, send prospective readers to Brookline Booksmith or BU Barnes & Noble. These stores will either be carrying the book or will be able to fulfill orders.
No matter what you do it, it'd mean the world to me if you spread the word THURSDAY APRIL 12! Thanks again for all your help.
Launch party is April 29 @ Falmouth Coffee O, 5pm - 8pm. Shirts & posters coming in May.
