		About the Author Brian Baker lives in Chicago, IL with his wife, Melissa. Before heading North, he lived most of his life in Texas and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. He has made his living as a writer in one form or another for the past 10 years, including penning various newspaper columns, scripting various syndicated television shows, and whoring for various corporations. He even worked for a company highlighted in the journalistically questionable "Give Me A Break" segment of 20/20. That experience made him appreciate the inherent comedy of the corrupt exposing the corrupt as corrupt. He is both deeply cynical and overtly sappy about the human condition and still hasn't decided what he would do if the decision to save the Earth landed in his lap. But that's why coins have two sides. Irregardless is his first novel.
