B.R. Doughtry
B.R Doughtry is constantly looking for new ways to push the envelope on creativity. From an early age, he read avidly and wrote a variety of novels in fantasy and classical fiction genres.

Areas of interest stem from philosophy, art, and traveling. As well, topics can range from neurosis, personality disorder poverty, free will, responsibility, relationships, subjectivity, individual vs society, class, and the subtle gray areas of morality.
