Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning writer; Brian Trent! Brian was born in a post-industrial factory town in Connecticut. He was rapidly introduced to speculative fiction through a lavishly illustrated edition of One Thousand and One Nights. As a child, he became a haunter of libraries and old ruins and developed a keen interest in both ends of history: the ancient past and far-distant future. Reading everything from Asimov to Xenophon, he began crafting his very first stories on a metallic-blue Brother 11 typewriter. After earning college degrees in English and philosophy, Trent worked as a professional journalist when not piloting expeditionary shuttles through the soupy atmospheres of alien worlds (otherwise known as going for long drives in the rain). His nonfiction writings have graced the cover of The Humanist magazine. His Writers of the Future win is his second professional sale, the first being to COSMOS, and he has since sold fiction to Apex Magazine. He recently completed the second novel in a “future history” series and, when not writing, Trent works in film.

She recently shared the story with us and we were eager to talk about this painfully honest meditation on grief in the modern world. It's a story about the physical objects that carry on after we're gone that continue to tell our histories. And it's a story of the tumultuous year of 2020, when we were having to fight against systemic inequality and racial injustice in the midst of global health and economic crises.

Maurice wears many hats: he is resident Afrofuturist at the Khewprw Institute, editor at Apex Magazine, his work has appeared in Lightspeed Magazine, and many others.

His gaming work includes writing for the Marvel Super-Heroes, Leverage, and Firefly role-playing games as well as working as a consultant on Watch Dogs 2.
