Bio
I grew up in Canada, where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. I love badland landscapes with knobbly stone hoodoos and deep ravines. I love forests with pine boughs mounded with snow and deep silence. I love the Himalayas, whose peaks defy gravity as they fall upward into the sky.
When I was about twenty, I met my spiritual master, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja. I’ve spent the last fifteen years or so studying bhakti-yoga under his guidance, mostly while living in India.
I’ve loved creating and hearing stories all my life. Now I’m working to infuse my work with spiritual experience. I pray you find these stories deep, exciting, challenging and hopeful.
My first novel is called Four Worlds. It’s about a boy and a girl living in a desert village, studying mystic practices under their spiritual teacher. Their ecosystem is tilted into chaos when a war erupts between universal controllers. When their teacher is captured by dark forces, the two students strive to rescue him and reestablish balance. In the course of this they must go beyond the realm of gods and demons, beyond duality to the source of everything.
You can read the first two chapters here: http://btlowry.com/four-worlds-chapter-1-2/
I’ve been published in Nebula Rift Magazine and was a finalist in Writers of the Future Contest.
I also make videos and love artistic collaboration.
