I’m Brad McBride. You might know me as a semi-prolific blogger at www.thuswesee.com. Some of you long-time readers might even remember the old days of Middle-aged Mormon Man. I’ve blogged for more than 15 years and written 1500+ articles, mostly of a religious nature.
Trying to maintain a blog and a business doesn’t leave me a lot of time to become a novelist, so I decided to make my first foray into fiction by writing a Christmas novella. In 2021, I released Up on the Housetop, A Christmas Story. It went so well that I followed up in 2023 with the novella The Year We Stole Christmas.
After two novellas, (Both available on Amazon.) I figured it was time to man up and write a novel.
When I was a younger man, I spent a long weekend stranded in Kanab, Utah, alone, waiting for car repairs. Luckily, I had a new book with me called The Borne Identity. It turned out to be a great weekend, after all. That was the beginning of my love for thrillers. I thank writers like Ludlum, Baldacci, Meltzer, Koontz, Grisham, and others for providing me with countless hours of entertainment and enjoyable airlplane flights.
Having written (literally) millions of words myself, I felt it was time to tackle writing in my favorite genre. It was the most fun I’ve ever had writing. The result? An action thriller, Papa Range.
Next up? Finishing off a fantasy that I started 25 years ago. Glist. Available now, after a long journey.
As for me, I live in Arizona with my sweet wife of 39+ years. We have 5 kids, 4 bonus kids, and 9 grandkids (and counting). We love to explore new places and things through travel and movies. I am always planning a new trip in my head.
Over the years, I have developed a great appreciation for my loyal readers, and invite you and them to come along on my new writing adventures.
