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 14 years and written 1400+ 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.
As for me, I live in Arizona with my sweet wife of 36+ years. We have 5 kids, 4 bonus kids, and 8 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.
