Welcome to bradenbell.com! I'm, well, Braden Bell. And this is my website. I'm a teacher, author, director, father and husband--and talk about all of those things on my blog. My next book, Middle School Magic: The Kindling, will be released in July of 2012. To learn more about that, read sample chapters and so on, you can click here. Or, watch the trailer below.  

You can read the posts for my Middle School Mondays series here. Information about my novel, The Road Show, is here. 

I also do content editing and manuscript critiques. Details are here. You can see photos from plays I've directed here. And before you go, I'd love to hear from you. You can drop me a line here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Braden Bell earned  a Ph.D. in educational theatre from New York University. He and his family live on a quiet, wooded lot in Tennessee, where he teaches theatre and music at a private middle school--the world described in The Kindling (although, whether his evenings and weekends are spent fighting evil is something he cannot disclose). An experienced performer, Braden enjoys singing, acting, reading, gardening, and long walks with the dog.
