B.J. Wagner's love for the natural world came from growing up in the Canadian Rockies, and his imagination was shaped by parents who chose the bedtime stories of Tolkien to Seuss. Although he enjoyed the hobby of writing, it was discoveries by NASA's Galileo spacecraft that focused his creativity on Jupiter's moon Europa. Before moving to Calgary, Alberta, B.J. wrote a novel to share with family and friends. Then, years after life and marriage took him to new and exciting destinations, he decided to revisit his work and explore ways to sharpen his skills. After enrolling in online courses with the Alexandra Writers' Centre Society, B.J. and a group of students formed a writing group where ideas flourished, skills were shared, and works faced critique. His story transformed into something special with their guidance and support, and The Moon the Sun Forgot was born. With a passion for distant worlds, adventure, futuristic technology, and even a little romance, The Moon the Sun Forgot is a testament to B.J.'s creativity and dedication. It is a story that strives to captivate and inspire readers with the mysteries of the unknown and the wonders of the imagination. B.J. and his wife have journeyed to Antarctica, Tanzania, the Galápagos Islands, and the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, capturing the beauty of wildlife through photography. But once their memory cards reach capacity, the travel-weary couple eagerly return home to their two cats.
""The Moon The Sun Forgot is an immersive space adventure of renegade justice and bittersweet romance. Whether delving through ethereal alien oceans or navigating the claustrophobia of a space skiff, Wagner's debut depicts a human future as beautiful and promising as it is rugged and dangerous. It's perfect for fans of Firefly or Killjoys.""-JR Creaden, author of Moon Dust in My Hairnet ""The Moon The Sun Forgot is a beautifully crafted novel of heartbreaking vengeance that transports us into the anarchic world of undersea Europa. Renegade AIs, deep sea colonies, intricately built hydro-vessels, and stunning ocean life are a backdrop to mystery, tech-augmented action, and romance in this ocean-wide chase. Wagner is a master worldbuilder and this is a world I wanted to stay in, prepare to be engulfed!""-Lareina Abbott, On Spec Magazine
