I'm Austin Brower, born in Owatonna, Minnesota, but raised in the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas. After serving in the Texas Army National Guard and deploying to Somalia, I transitioned into civilian life and proudly became a veteran. Currently, I'm immersed in my college education while exploring a newfound passion for writing. Though I'm relatively new to the craft, writing has become a profound way for me to express myself. Surprisingly, what was once a dreaded task has transformed into a love affair with words. This journey of self-expression has been both unexpected and incredibly rewarding.
