Brad Shreve

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

He has two published novels as part of his Mitch O’Reilly Mystery series, featuring a gay private eye in Los Angeles. A third in the series will be released in 2024. A new series is expected before the end of the year.

In 2019, Brad launched the Queer Writers of Crime podcast, where he interviewed LGBTQ+ authors of mystery, thriller, and 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.

In addition to Going Hollywood, he currently hosts Queer We Are, a podcast featuring positive stories by LGBTQ people. He believes too many who identify as LGBTQ+ aren't aware of good things happening.

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