Brad Thor has made a career out of secrets and espionage, and using them to craft the kind of adventures most people only ever dream about. For the past (nearly) two decades, he’s been cranking out a novel a year, (one year, he wrote two) and he’s managed to successfully turn his brand into a business. His personal website is filled with the kind of thought candy that keeps his readers connected and he keeps them buying between novels, by recommending products that have his character’s stamp of approval all over them.
Thor’s last novel, ‘SpyMaster’, was a 2018 summer hit. We caught up with him mid-year, to get a little writing advice, as he works to finish his next book, ‘Backlash’, due out next June.
“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
