Where awesome book readers meet awesome writers
Meet Author Brad Deep
Brad Deep is not interested in playing safe. He writes to challenge, unsettle, and drag taboo topics into the light with a satirist’s grin and a journalist’s eye. To date he has published two books that took decades to brew: Horny: Sex Without Scruples and God Mob.
Brad describes Horny as a cathartic, unfiltered look at the culture of desire and the stories people rarely tell in public. God Mob grew from years of notes on faith, doubt, and institutional hypocrisy. Together, the books mark the opening salvo of a career aimed at subjects most authors tiptoe around.
Latest Release: Horny Sex Without Scruples
Horny is not erotica. It is a razor-edged memoir and cultural critique about sex, shame, power, and performance. Brad spent years collecting interviews, observations, and first-hand experiences while working to finance an independent film dream. What he found was a front-row seat to the gap between public morality and private behavior.
The book skewers dating myths, sugar-site scams, and fairy tales about marriage while blending confessional storytelling with dark humor. It is part reportage, part satire, and entirely uninterested in polite euphemism.
Writing Habits That Fuel the Work
Brad does not clock in at a desk and grind out word counts. He lives with a notebook in hand and captures lines, rants, fragments, and overheard dialogue whenever and wherever they arrive. The archive he has built over decades is a maze of titles and ideas that lets him return to the page with velocity when a project catches fire.
Influences
Two voices sit on opposite ends of his creative spectrum:
- Christopher Hitchens for surgical rhetoric and fearless argument
- Eckhart Tolle for presence and stillness when the work needs grounding
Between rage and reflection, Brad finds the tonal range his books demand.
What He Is Working on Now
Brad rarely writes one book at a time. Current projects include:
- The Big Shellac narrative nonfiction about a combustible film producer whose appetites outpace his ethics. It is cinematic, unsparing, and drawn from true events.
- Troglodyte: Why Everyone Should Spend 6 Months in Jail During Their Lifetime built from extensive interviews with a former inmate, this project examines survival, systems, and the human spirit inside a medium-security prison.
Between large projects, Brad releases concise micro-books of 30 to 50 pages on timely topics. They serve as quick hits for new readers and a testing ground for ideas that may evolve into longer work.
How He Promotes His Books
Brad prefers reader-facing platforms and review ecosystems over author-only echo chambers. He recommends stacking editorial and reader reviews through services like BookSprout, NetGalley, and Reedsy Discovery, along with features on niche blogs that actually attract readers.
His rule is simple: no marketing strategy compensates for a forgettable book. Write something that leaves a mark, then let word of mouth and algorithms do their work.
Advice for New Authors
- Write what is visceral and true. If it does not move you, it will not move anyone else.
- Expect a long runway. Building an author brand takes patience in a short attention span world.
- Do not fear strong reactions. Polarization can signal that you are saying something worth discussing.
- Use praise and critique strategically. Thoughtful reviews from both sides can drive curiosity and sales.
The Best Advice He Ever Heard
Francis Ford Coppola once said, find a way to make your movie. Brad applies the same ethic to books. Be resourceful. Be relentless. Get the work made.
What He Is Reading Now
Pre-launch season leaves little time for leisure reading. Brad is focused on releasing Horny: Sex Without Scruples and God Mob, both scheduled to drop on September 30.
What Is Next
Finish Troglodyte and The Big Shellac for a planned 2026 release, continue building the brand, and keep the idea machine running with targeted micro-books that introduce new readers to his voice.
