About the AUTHOR
Brian spent thirty-five years as a quality inspector at Boeing — a job where finding problems, demanding accountability, and ensuring nothing dangerous slipped through wasn't optional. That same uncompromising eye now shapes three distinct creative ventures.
The Podcast
Everyone Knows delivers weekly analysis of politics, economics, and culture from someone who has spent decades consuming news from every corner of the political spectrum. Brian doesn't pick a team — he picks apart the argument. If the logic holds, he'll say so. If it doesn't, he'll tell you why. New episodes drop every Tuesday.
The Books
The Sentinel Trilogy begins when pilot Bron Matthews discovers an ancient alien base beneath the lunar surface — and gets pulled into a conflict that spans eleven thousand years, multiple species, and questions humanity was never meant to ask. But the story isn't about explosions and fleet battles. It's about a man who loses his language and has to relearn who he is. A mother who writes a letter she knows her daughter may never read. A child who stows away on a cargo ship because she has no one left to stay for. Brian writes science fiction where the universe is vast and terrifying, but the moments that break you are small and human.
The Audio Stories
Brian creates original one to two hour science fiction narratives built for listening. Some expand the universe of The Sentinel Trilogy, while others explore entirely new worlds. Each story is complete and standalone, narrated in a professional AI voice and paired with AI-generated visuals on YouTube — immersive experiences designed to respect your time.
Whether you're here for political commentary, hard science fiction, or audio storytelling, Brian's work is built on one principle: speak up or step aside.
The Question Nobody Was Supposed to Ask
The Sentinel Universe
It started with a pilot, a dead space station, and a question nobody was supposed to ask. Eleven thousand years of alien history buried under lunar dust. A civilization that watched over humanity since before we had written language. Technology that could remake a person from the inside out — and did.
The Sentinel Universe grew from that first discovery into something larger than one story could hold. Three books became a trilogy. The trilogy opened doors to new species, ancient wars, and a web of civilizations connected by technology humanity is only beginning to understand. Brian built that world from the ground up — alien species with deep histories, technology grounded in real physics, and a station that feels like it has been holding its breath for centuries.
But the story was never really about the technology or the aliens. It was about a pilot who wakes up on the Moon unable to speak his own language. A seven-year-old's drawing of a human and an alien holding hands under a yellow sun. A mother's letter written to a daughter who may never read it. An AI who learns what it means to want something she cannot have. The universe is vast and ancient and sometimes terrifying. The moments that hit hardest are the small ones.
The Sentinel Trilogy is the foundation. The audio stories explore corners the books couldn't reach. And the Awakening Trilogy — coming next — picks up ten years later, when the question shifts from survival to discovery: now that we know we're not alone, what do we do with everything out there waiting?
