Bradley Somer has a passion for writing and storytelling. He is inspired by people; how we influence each other’s lives and how we are influenced ourselves. His latest book Fishbowl is garnering international attention, including translation into several other languages. And here at home, he was honoured as one of Alberta’s Emerging Artists.

Bradley calls himself a binge writer, and writes for up to five hours in a day. He always has a starting point and an end goal, and says the challenge is filling it all in. His formal education is in anthropology and archeology, which he says are both disciplines of storytelling, which made more an easy transition into writing fiction.
