Brad R. Torgersen.
If you are not familiar with Brad's work, you're missing out.
I've read several of Brad's works. Torgersen's name has been compared with giants in the science fiction world...Heinlein, Clarke, among others. I agree. His stories are deep, thoughtful, introspective. His novel, The Chaplain's War, mixes themes of philosophy, religion, self-reflection, and the role the military plays in not only our culture, but that of other sentient species as well. I loved the novel, as well as other anthologies he has created.
In addition to his writing career, Brad is a National Guard reservist. My father served in WWII as did four of his brothers. I have the upmost respect for anyone willing to serve and put their lives on the line for people they've never met. I believe this experience has given Brad a valuable and important perspective and it shows in his writings. I've attended several conferences where Brad presented. If you're interested in learning more about writing in general and science fiction writing specifically, Brad alone is definitely worth the price of admission.
In just 124 days, the doors of the Utah Cultural Center in West Valley City, Utah will open and (hopefully...) many will attend a day of learning, presenting, networking, and overall good times.
