Alan Bradley is a Canadian author of mystery novels. During his high school years, rather than socializing, Alan would spend his spare time reading at the cemetery. He worked as Director of Television Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan for 25 years before deciding to switch careers in favour of becoming a full-time writer. He first tried writing screenplays, but after the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire destroyed neighbouring houses, he decided to try his hand at writing memoirs. In 2007, he wrote 15 pages about the character who would become Flavia de Luce for a contest, which he won.

Alan Bradley became a published author in 1980 with the non-fiction book Ms. Holmes of Baker Street. His first novel was not published for almost 30 years, which was The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Below is a list of Alan Bradley’s books in order of when they were originally published:

    Not for publication, but I occasionally notice little slips in Flavia’s catechism memory. “Some of us believe the Host is the Body of Christ”–no, no, no. This is a major belief of Roman Catholics, and is a required belief in order to be Catholic. Of course, an 11 year old who attends Anglican services rather than Catholic can be forgiven this mistake, I suppose, but I hope she receives some instruction soon.

    Found Flavia quite by accident, and she injected her chemistry right into my heart! Flavia has joined Inspector Gamache and all of Alexander McCall-Smith’s characters at the top of my “must get the newest novel ASAP” list.
