About Me
Brett Hodnett
Brett has a truly remarkable history. For a period of more than 3 billion years, through millions of successive generations, every single one of his ancestors managed to survive long enough to breed and successfully leave offspring. Not one failed! Leaning on this illustrious heritage, Brett has written one book of non-fiction, Paddling with a Naturalist, and is currently working on his first book of fiction.
When not writing, Brett spends more of his time than he would like, trading his labour for intrinsically valueless tokens which, remarkably, others accept in exchange for food, shelter, and bicycles. He has earned these tokens in many ways, from operating a forklift, to delivering furniture, pressing plants, diving for golf balls, researching sustainability action plans, practising accounting, and on one occasion, by giving said intrinsically valueless tokens to graffiti artists, orchestra conductors, jugglers, and stilt walkers in a dark alley at 2AM from a backpack stuffed with twenty five thousand dollars in small bills.
Brett has also found time to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in biology, and a Master’s degree in genetics, from the University of Toronto. He lives with his wife, Karen, and a ten pound quadruped that roams the house with impunity, in Gatineau, Quebec. Unless bowing to convention, he does not normally speak about himself in the third person.
