The Brad Madison Thriller series is one of the most intriguing series ever written by J.J. Miller. Miller spent much of his life writing stories and has a bank of in-depth profiles, news stories, and magazine features to his name. With so many writings to his name, he began thinking that maybe he had it in him to write a novel. During his teenage years, he loved to read Wilbur Smith and read every book he ever put out. Later on, he got into Ernest Hemingway, then got filled with awe with Grisham, captivated by Tom Clancy, floored by Raymond Carver, and exhilarated by Hunter S. Thompson. Brad would then pen three nonfiction works before he got into literary fiction. All he wanted was to find out if he could pen an intriguing work that he would love to read. Between being a hands-on father, a full-time job, and stealing any moment he could, he wrote his first literary fiction work. It took him a lot of hard work and a year to publish his first-ever work of fiction, Force of Justice, the debut of the Brad Madison Legal Thriller books.
