Brian was born December on 29, 1960, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States.
Brian studied at Memphis State University and received Bachelor of Science in 1983.
Brian A. Hopkins worked as an electronics engineer and retired as the deputy director of the 76th Software Maintenance Group at Tinker Air Force Base.
He published his first piece, “Ivory in the Blood,” in 1990. Currently, over fifty of Hopkins’ stories have been published or are forthcoming in various print and on-line magazines (including Midnight Zoo, Tome, Alterations, and Millenium Science Fiction and Fantasy), and in anthologies such as Best of the Midwest's Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.
Hopkins has also collaborated on stories with fellow “dark fantasists” James Van Pelt and David Niall Wilson, and has published poetry and essays on technical aspects of science-fiction writing.
He wrote a stand-alone novella Cold at Heart, his first effort at longer fiction. Jeff Ahrens wrote in Booklist that puzzling over the novella’s mysteries “will be a delightful undertaking for horror connoisseurs,” while Amazon.com’s horror editor, Fiona Webster, calls Hopkins’ writing “a welcome throwback to the best of the horror/fantasy/adventure tales that used to appear in American pulp magazines from the 1930s through the 1950s. He adheres to the same storytelling principles of economical characterization, vivid descriptions, lots of action, and a bang-up ending.”
