I've written True Raiders (St. Martin's, 2021), Olive the Lionheart (St. Martin's, 2020), the Edgar Award-nominated Mrs. Sherlock Holmes (St. Martin’s, 2017), and Super Boys (St. Martin’s, 2013), the winner of the Ohioana Book Award for Nonfiction. I wrote a graphic novel adaptation of Nellie Bly's Ten Days in a Mad-house illustrated by Courtney Sieh (Gallery 13, 2022) that was nominated for an Eisner Award and named a Best Graphic Novel for Adults by the New York Public Library. I won the St. Lawrence Book Award for American Mastodon (Black Lawrence Press, 2011) and also made a movie, Last Son, that won a 2010 Silver Ace Award at the Las Vegas Film Festival. I've written for The Washington Post, The Beat, Belt, Book Riot, Narratively, History Extra, and the official Star Wars website. I've been in documentaries on the History Channel, AMC, and have been a guest on Criminal, All Things Considered, BBC radio, and Innovation Hub, among others. I was born in a suburb of Cleveland and sometimes teach at Case Western Reserve University, where I earned a Ph.D. in English. I now live in Shaker Heights (still Cleveland) with Caroline and our three boys. For more, visit brad-ricca.com
