About The Author

Born and raised near the runway of an Air Force base in Fairborn, Ohio. Brandon Board found his mind often soaring with the roaring jet engines that were a constant backdrop to his childhood. Today, his feet are firmly planted on the ground, but his thoughts and creativity still take flight, manifesting in a remarkable array of interests, hobbies, and skills.

Brandon’s life story unfolds like a kaleidoscope, shifting and transforming with every new hobby, interest, and skill he explores. Each experience, no matter how diverse or unrelated, reflects his enduring thirst for knowledge and determination to go beyond the ordinary. While these pursuits may seem varied to some, they are, to Brandon, merely different shades of his vibrant palette of life.

One such pursuit, borne out of a whiff of nostalgia, was the exploration of the sensory world. The scent of Petrichor, the earthy aroma that fills the air after rain, sparked an unexpected chapter in Brandon’s journey – his foray into the world of publishing. Upon discovering that this sensory memory from his childhood had a name, he was propelled into a fascination with the intricate bond between our senses and our emotions.

Petrichor, for Brandon, was more than just a smell; it was a moment frozen in time, a portal to profound reflections. The aftermath of a rain shower, a world bathed in golden glow, a pause in the rhythm of life, it was the universe’s invitation to stand still and contemplate. Such is the power of sensory experiences, often unnoticed, yet capable of evoking the deepest of thoughts and emotions.

‘Sensory Chronicles – A Poetic Odyssey Through the Five Senses’ is the ambitious result of that journey. With the same fervor he brings to his numerous hobbies, Brandon has crafted a series that intertwines poems, illustrations, and sensory experiences in a tapestry of thought, emotion, and perception. His love for the concept, for the intricate puzzle of weaving everything together, shines through every page, making each book more than just a collection of poems – they are experiences in themselves.

Today, Brandon resides just a stone’s throw from his hometown, living his best life, ever-curious and ever-ready for the next hobby, the next passion, the next grand idea.
