Memories of Coromandel

Brent Archer was born in Spokane, Washington, and lived there most of his adolescent life. At 18, he left for Seattle to attend the University of Washington for Electrical Engineering, but he ended up with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies with a minor in History. After graduation, he pursued an acting career in musical theater and dance. Once thirty hit, however, he focused on numbers, getting a certificate in accounting, and became the Financial Controller of a non-profit arts and music organization. He was laid off during the first year of the Covid Pandemic, so he hung up his ten-key and never looked back.

Though writing most of his life, he never thought to submit his work for publication. In 2012, he visited his cousin Delilah Devlin in Arkansas, and she prodded him to write a story and submit it. So, he did, and it sold right away. With the encouragement of Delilah, his other writing cousin Elle James, and his husband, Brent embarked on a writing career. He’s loving the journey, finding inspiration and a story everywhere he goes, whether it be the local coffee shop or riding the train to explore the world.
