About the Author

B.A. DURHAM is a resident of the American Midwest, from where he draws the inspiration for his stories. He has an undergraduate degree in physics and has studied writing at the University of Chicago’s Graham School. Raised in a religious household, B.A. Durham is a self-described atheist who studied physics “the wrong way.” That is, he took a philosophical, or even a spiritual, approach to it, looking for it to answer many of the same questions as his family’s Presbyterian faith.

B.A. Durham is currently a professional technical writer and publishes on Substack and Vocal Media.
