At the age of 21, Brian started working overseas as an expat, which allowed him to travel the world, broaden his horizons, and have unique cultural experiences. He feels being from New Orleans prepared him to see the world. After trying for years to deny his creative spark he found himself transformed into that elementary school kid again that could only use writing as a way to express what he was feeling. I’ll Sit This Right Here, focuses on a time period when a past relationship triggered old wounds he thought were healed which left him standing face to face with heartbreak and a shattered perception of what love was.

I’ll Sit This Right Here, is Mr. Welch’s first book, but don’t count on it being his last as he now refuses to dim his light of creativity.
