Gary Brideau was born in a small house in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1947 and moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut as a small boy. He met Lauren, the love of his life, in 1985 and were married years later and moved to Bristol, Connecticut.
One night, he had a vivid dream that caught his attention and spurred him to write it down, and send it to his sister T. Jene Brideau, for an interpretation who also is a writer. She wrote and told him that the story was good. Gary took her encouragement and his imagination went to work. That's when he discovered his God-given talent to write great space adventure stories. From then on, he has written over fifty stories of which only seven of them have been published with great reviews.
