About

Welcome!

My name is Brian Francis. I’m the author of three novels (Break in Case of Emergency, Natural Order and Fruit), a memoir (Missed Connections: A Memoir in Letters Never Sent), as well as a performance piece (Box 4901). My books have been finalists for the Governor General’s Literary Awards, the Trillium Book Awards and CBC’s Canada Reads.

When I’m not writing fiction, I’m likely writing about food. Specifically, my taste tests, where I sample a variety of foods, ranging from panettone to macaroni salad, to determine which brand is best. Check out my author blog to see my latest taste test. You can also check out my previous food blog, Caker Cooking, for some, well, let’s just say “non-gourmet” fare.

I’m also a regular contributor to CBC Radio’s “The Next Chapter” and write a monthly advice column for writers for Quill & Quire.
