Martin Beaulieu is the author of The Bad Things, a precursor to The Mindbenders. He was born in Canada, and spent several years in the U.S., where he worked as a computer programmer. Martin states that the story developed from a dream fragment, in which a buckboard wagon flew over a saloon in Durango. Only the fragment survived; he has no idea what the dream was about. He currently lives in New Brunswick, Canada, where he writes full time. He doesn’t own a cell phone. Check out his web page at www.beaulieubooks.com.
