Biografía
Harold L. Brown, AKA Harold Lea Brown, is a seasoned business executive and chief strategist/futurist turned fiction writer. He has more than 30 years management experience, with national and international professional designations in management, information management and accounting, including the highest status that can be achieved in the management profession, a Chartered Fellow with the United Kingdom Chartered Management Institute.
Entering his eighth decade, Harold believes that "Story is life well told!" His family roots are Norwegian and Finnish, where story is core to passing on history to future generations. His life long passion has always been storytelling, something he has become laser focused on for more than a decade. Besides being on movie and television sets as talent, he's studied writing, acting and producing, all to inform his craft as a storyteller. He's committed to carrying on his family's Scandinavian tradition of storytelling.
He writes from a desire to understand and learn about himself and the world around him, hoping to inspire, inform, educate and entertain audiences. His stories are cerebral, but, also tug at a person's heartstrings and truly shake them to their very core. For Harold, it is not so much about what he has to say on a subject-it's what it causes the reader, actor or viewer to feel deep down inside.
With more than fourteen award winning scripts, five books and one stage play, his writing has been recognized in more than sixteen countries, garnering more than 175 awards and nominations. His work spans the drama, thriller, crime/mystery, action/adventure, western and comedy genres and includes screenplays, teleplays, miniseries, web series, stage plays and novels. His sub genre specialties include government, politics and technology. His stories explore everything from racial challenges in an increasingly globalized world community, to the global threats of technology, to generational and intergenerational challenges families face, the impact of special interest groups, the evolving challenges of translocation something much more than immigration, to the unintended consequences of decisions and actions, and, so much more. The Playwrights Guild of Canada showcased his stage play in their 2023 'Pitch It' program.
