About the author
I was born on October 27, 1947, in New Holland, a mill village about 50 miles north of Atlanta. In 1964, I had the good fortune to become a student in the Georgia Governor's Honors Program, where my love of reading and writing grew deeper.
My very first professional story, "The Third Grave," was bought by ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE and appeared in that publication in 1966. Then it was over thirty years before I published again.
But eventually I did begin to write for publication. Alone and in collaboration with my wife Barbara, my late friend Thomas E. Fuller, and fantasy artist and writer Joe DeVito, I have now written some 75 published books. I'm also a professor of English at the University of North Georgia in Gainesville, GA--about six miles from where I was born.
It's probably no great secret that I am also Ken McKea, writer of the Jim Dallas series of Florida thrillers. McKea is kind of an alter ego who lets me write stories a little different from a standard Strickland tale.
Barbara and I have two wonderful grown children, Jonathan (married to Rebecca), who is the Jonathan Strickland of FW: THINKING, a weekly Webcast. He is also Senior Writer for howstuffworks.com. Our daughter Amy (married to Tim Sweeney) is the Head Puppeteer for the Puppetry Arts Center in Atlanta.
The nest isn't empty. Barbara and I also have three cats and two dogs, and that's enough to keep us busy.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015I have grown up with John Bellairs books. I used many of them for book report, but enjoyed them as thrilling, supernatural mysteries.
This one managed to work in some Hawaiian Mythology as well (one of my personal favorite mythologies, by the way). It was done in an entertaining and suspenseful way. I could hardly put it down.
For a while, I felt like I was a kid again.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2006I love the character of Lewis and all, but for the most part Johnny is my favorite. And whatever happened to Anthony Monday? I appreciate Strickland's continuing of the characters of Bellairs, but he needs to give the other two guys some book time. I have not read this book, so I cannot comment on it. I'm just trying to say "hey, Brad - Anthony is ready for another book!!!"
thank you for your time.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019This was an odd entry in the Lewis Barnavelt series. It began at a point in time that made no sense then abruptly it shifted to another time and headed in a different direction. There was no clear villain until the very end. The plot was sluggish and aimless, as though Strickland was stalling until an idea presented itself. In this case, a vague haunting of a new friend by a vengeful spirit. Team Barnavelt spent an inordinate number of pages researching the problem, not knowing what or who they were up against. It felt as though Strickland was losing interest in the characters at this point. Even so, it was a quick read with a couple of nice sequences. I liked it, but with grave reservations.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021A real crowd pleaser and a welcome addition to my bookshelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007Good escapist fun. It continues to please the Bellairs fans who have grown accustomed to writings from beyond the grave, channelled so sympathetically by Brad Strickland.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019Lewis Barnavelt - at last! - faces a scary test, to which, the answer, is compassion! Great read! Read it!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019Nice book as described. Speedy delivery.
