About the Author

Brad Osburn spent thirty years in print media, where a love for the written word became the foundation of a career built on precision, voice, and the conviction that the right words in the right order can make a reader feel something true.

He came to fiction with a specific purpose — to write the characters he could not find on the shelves. His novels span military science fiction, crime thriller, and action adventure, with a consistent focus on the specific cost of loyalty, the weight of what we carry for the people beside us, and the question of what makes us who we are when the world has done its best to change us.

He is the author of novels spanning thrillers, science fiction, speculative fiction, and character-driven contemporary fiction. Whatever the setting or genre, his stories return to the same territory: people confronted with extraordinary circumstances, the choices they make, and the relationships that give those choices meaning. His characters do not apologize for what they are — and often discover that what they are is more complicated, and more human, than they anticipated.

Brad lives in Houston, Texas, with two dogs — Gunner, a Standard Poodle, and Millie, a German Shepherd — who have strong opinions about what is and is not acceptable, and who are usually right.
