Brad Writes Worlds

“Myth, memory, and the collapse of certainty.”

Brad Slade – Author Biography

Brad Slade writes worlds. Some burned. Some survived. All remembered.

A Gen X survivor of silence, grief, and VHS static, Brad crafts stories that dig into the marrow, fiction that bleeds, essays that punch, fanfics that dare to finish what others abandoned. His works span mythic fantasy, science fiction, post-collapse memoir, and reimagined continuations of epic sagas like A Song of Ice and Fire and Stargate.

His nonfiction book, Help Yourself… Or Don’t, is a raw, poetic field manual for anyone raised on sitcoms and sarcasm, searching for truth in the wreckage of burnout and broken promises. It’s not a self-help book… it’s a last-chance mixtape for those still standing.

Whether he’s reconstructing Westeros, reviving the Stargate program, or building entirely new realities from the ruins of this one, Brad writes with purpose: not to escape, but to confront.

📍 Based in Texas. Fueled by coffee, mixtapes, and righteous frustration.

    A Dustland Survival Odyssey Set in the Age of Unbinding

    The Dustlands are cruel, but Reina Valdez is stronger than anything that wants her dead.

    Once a scout carving freedom from the bones of the desert sands, Reina rides west once again with a haunted mind and a gunfighter’s resolve. Her dreams have turned prophetic, filled with storms that twist time and ghosts she cannot outrun. Aric, the runaway engineer reshaping fate with every step, and Lucien, the memory-thief who can rewrite a life with a whisper, rely on her strength. But destiny makes no promises about mercy.

    Pursued by raiders and driven across lands where past and future collapse into each other, the trio reaches the fractured heart of what remains: Las Vegas. A city reborn atop temporal chaos. A gambling empire where cowboys and automatons share narrow streets with Vikings, samurai, and astronauts torn from different centuries. Magic and machinery exist by a fragile pact, and every debt comes with a knife.

    To protect her newfound allies, Reina must steal from the city’s most dangerous factions and unravel conspiracies threatening to tear the Strip apart. But every choice leads further into a Pattern she can never escape, and every thread seems to tie back to Aric. Destiny has already chosen him for something vast. Something terrifying.

    Old debts rise from the grave. Love swallowed by the storm returns wearing scars. And beneath the neon glare, the Dustlands hunger for heroes bold enough to defy what the future claims as its own.

    Where do you run when the future is already hunting you?
