Brandon Helms is from Pittsburgh, where he grew up with his mother, father, and two brothers. He later moved to Chicago, where he went to law school and practiced as a lawyer. In 2014, he moved to Detroit and became an Assistant U.S. Attorney, prosecuting fraud and other white-collar crimes. Though he's written countless legal documents, he found this work to be somewhat constraining-fiction has allowed him to get in touch with his creative side. He is also an avid runner and exercises religiously. He, his wife, and their two children currently live in a suburb of Detroit. Not Today, Fred is his first novel.
