Former small animal veterinarian, W. Bradford Swift writes fantasy, science fiction, and visionary fiction. He is best known for his eco-fantasy books for teens and young adults to inspire them to become joyful lifelong readers as well as caring and responsible stewards for Earth and all its inhabitants. Dr. Swift believes reading for pleasure stretches the imagination of young readers in ways that TV, movies, or video games do not. He also loves to encourage young people to write their own stories, knowing that some of them will grow into the world’s future authors as he did.

Bored out of his gourd with no one to play with but his mom, he drove her crazy until Mrs. Crabtree brought home a stack of books she knew would hook a young boy's imagination. It worked. He has been an avid reader ever since, and for the past three decades an author as well. But it took an impulse buy that led him to start writing. One day in 1984, Swift strolled into an Apple Store and walked out a proud owner of a new Macintosh computer and printer. By Monday, he had a good case of buyer’s remorse as he agonized over my impulsive purchase. To justify this expensive toy, he decided it had to be a “sign”—time to start writing. He had toyed with the idea for years, but one look at the credit card statement alerted him to the time was NOW! The fuse for a new passion and career in writing was lit. Since that first spark, Swift has worn out several different Apple computers as he has enjoyed a ‘combo career’ as a writer and life coach resulting in: • 30 years of professional writing experience • Published over 2 dozen books • Contributed to dozens of national and international magazines • Over three decades of coaching including 20-plus years as a Life On Purpose Coach and leading transformational programs for Landmark Education (now Landmark Worldwide). He continues this combo career as an author and Write On Purpose Coaching empowering aspiring authors to move from one day wanting to write to moving forward today and without needing to suffer from buyer’s remorse. Swift lives in the “Paradise Found” of the North Carolina mountains with his wife and a menagerie of four-legged family members.
