About Benoit Goudreault-Emond

I live in Montréal, Québec, Canada, with my lovely wife and equally lovely (and lively) daughter. My day job is as a programmer, something which I do find satisfying. However, I've always been an avid reader, and science-fiction has always had a special place in my heart.

Why I write

I had written unpublished long-form works in the past, and decided in 2019 that it was time for me to try to write something others might want to read. Hopefully I have succeeded, and will continue to do so in future.

“I, Cunningham” is the first such work. I want to keep on writing more novels. For one, Cunningham's story does not end there. But I also want to branch out to other backgrounds.

I hope you will enjoy my work, and that it will prompt you to read other works I've liked. “Traditional” science-fiction has waned a little bit in the last couple of decades, replaced by dystopian works, cyberpunk, and fantasy. There is nothing wrong with those other genres, yet I feel that traditional hard SF is still enjoyable.
