Brad Shreve

At too young an age, Brad Shreve loved political satire and became a fan of the Doonesbury comic strip. After years of art study and designing his own strips, he discovered he enjoyed writing stories more than visual art. His thoughts turned to being a writer.

He has two published novels as part of his Mitch O’Reilly Mystery series, featuring a gay P.I. in Los Angeles. A third in the series will be released in 2024. 

In 2019, Brad launched Queer Writers of Crime, interviewing LGBTQ+ authors of mystery, thriller & suspense novels. It was named by Buzzfeed as one of the top twenty queer podcasts in 2022 and is still available on your favorite app.

believing too many LGBTQ+ people aren't aware of good things happening, he also hosts Queer We Are, featuring positive stories.

Brad lives in the California High Desert with his husband and best friend, Maurice.
