K.B. Sprague is a Canadian epic fantasy writer and physicist. Born in small-town Northern Ontario, he developed a true appreciation of the natural world during his youngest years. K.B. Sprague went on to attend universities in Southern Ontario, earning a doctorate in theoretical physics. Summer work terms still kept him grounded in the North though, spent working in a uranium mine and mineral prospecting camps. After graduating, he took on physics and computing research projects in the natural resources, defense, and security sectors. Topics varied widely, with excursions into nuclear and particle physics, medical imaging, directed energy, geomodelling, complex systems, war games, and emerging technologies. K.B. Sprague lives on a hobby farm on the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario with his wife and three children.
