What Brad Meltzer Is Most Proud of Writing
March 18th, 2011
Brad Meltzer‘s father died a couple of weeks ago.
My first memory of my father is him coming home from work when I was little. He’d pick me up and put me on the top of the refrigerator, my little feet dangling over the freezer door.

Brad Meltzer “Heroes for My Son”
May 20th, 2010
Every boy needs heroes as he grows up. Thing is, a lot of the men and women who might make terrific heroes may escape his attention, go undiscovered.
When bestselling thriller writer Brad Meltzer‘s first son was born, Brad started collecting a pantheon of heroes from which his son could someday choose.

The stories are inspiring, to sons as well as dads and moms.
