B.C.R. FEGAN
ABOUTWriter and ruminator of philosophical, theological and deeply fantastical ideas
B.C.R. Fegan is an award-winning author who has written a number of fictional tales for children and young adults.
Raised on a small property on the east coast of Australia, Fegan lived between worlds of thunderous Pacific Ocean waves and a serene, tree-filled valley just minutes away. Fascinated by almost everything – except formal education for a time – Fegan focused his efforts on the grand purposes of life, namely, martial-arts, surfing and of course writing.

Upon graduating High School, Fegan began a new journey south – exploring the profession of arms, gaining a degree in Theology and working on a number of manuscripts which he hoped to one day publish. Eventually, Fegan arrived in the stunningly wild and beautiful island of Tasmania and immediately sought to orient his life around a discipline that had heretofore been a silent companion – authorship.
He is passionate about understanding life at its deepest and producing books that have a profound impact on the development of children and young adults.
