One of the things I’ve always found interesting about Bradley Ghast is that, despite everything he is capable of doing, the thing he struggles with most might be the simplest: living a normal life.

At the beginning of Bradley’s Gambit, Bradley has effectively removed himself from the world. He lives alone in an Airstream on a wooded ridge outside Montrose, Colorado. He keeps his distance from people, drinks more than he probably should, maintains his equipment, watches the terrain around him,...

*Disclaimer: I absolutely copy/pasted to Facebook because I had barely 30 minutes to get this written.

The calendar has entered its annual blender cycle. Between wrapping paper shrapnel, family schedules that move like migrating herds, and the general December chaos, my writing updates have gone a bit quiet.
Consider this a brief signal flare from the holiday bunker. I’m still here, the stories are still simmering, and once the world stops vibrating with festive noise, I’ll be sharing more...

When I first began writing Bradley’s Gambit, I didn’t set out to craft Teagan Anders into anything more than a presence in Bradley’s orbit — someone grounded in the rhythms of Montrose, someone whose life brushed against his in subtle, everyday ways.

But the interesting thing about writing is how certain characters don’t wait for permission to become important.

When I first started writing Bradley’s Gambit, I didn’t set out to create a thriller series. I set out to explore a man trying to outrun himself.

What unfolded surprised me as much as it did him: a web of danger moving unseen through small-town America, and a reluctant hero who couldn’t look away once he realized...

Welcome to the blog! Today's topic is Bradley Ghast, veteran and consulting detective.

The first books are already live, Bradley's Gambit and Bradley's Reckoning.

These tell the beginning story of Bradley Ghast, Navy veteran, who spent his time in the military in more combat than he expected, receiving multiple wounds and it took a heavy toll on his psyche. When we meet him, he is reclusive, living off the land and his disability payments. He only spends enough time in town to restock when...

Greetings my fellow readers!

Thank you for taking the time to join me and read my content, whether my blog or my books, but hopefully both. First, things first, I will introduce myself. I am B.A. Gomez, author, veteran and jerk of many trades. I prefer to use my initials for most things and now I use it in my writing.

Anyway, I have been writing most of my life. Little snippets of poetry, one page short stories, a couple of essays, but never a full novel length book. Until now. In full...
