Bio
Constance Brewer is a writer, poet and artist who writes fantasy, space opera, essays, and poetry. She was born and raised in upstate New York where she spent many years gathering educational degrees. While teetering on the brink of permanent studenthood, Constance received this message in the bottom of a cup of Ramen noodles. “Get a real job”. She joined the military and served in the US Army Corps of Engineers, alternately building and blowing up things for her country. A retired Captain, she has an aversion to camouflage, but still likes the color green. Constance has practiced karate, applying the knowledge gained to help her understand the process of acquiring broken bones, so she can correctly injure her fictional characters. When not juggling multiple writing projects like live grenades, she enjoys weaving and printmaking. Constance has an BFA and MFA in Fine Art, and a BA in Philosophy, which explains her rambling blog posts on various topics. She is the editor of the contemporary poetry magazine, Gyroscope Review and author of the book Piccola Poesie: A Nibble of Short Form Poetry.
