About
Aubrey Perin is a neurodivergent writer, father of four, U.S. Air Force veteran, cybersecurity professional, and law student. He has a habit of asking “but why?” long after everyone else has moved on.
His writing explores how people make sense of their lives, what we turn to when things get difficult, and how the systems we build can do a better job of caring for the people inside them. He brings curiosity, lived experience, and a stubborn belief that understanding people is worth the effort—even when it’s complicated. Especially then.
Aubrey lives in New Hampshire with his partner, Kayla, and their family. When he isn’t writing, studying, or following a question down an unnecessarily deep rabbit hole, he enjoys making art and finding things to laugh about. He is still figuring plenty of things out, and his books are part of that process.
