Brian Cheatham

Brian Cheatham was born in Middle Tennessee to a hard working family with traditional Southern values. To this day he, his wife and family still reside there.

After graduating high school, he went on to get his degree in Computer Aided Design and joined the work force. Working in the automotive, HVAC and construction industries has allowed Brian to meet and befriend some interesting people from all walks of life. It's these same people that inspire many of the characters in his writing.

The rich history and scenic geography of the South also provides a backdrop for some locations in his writing, while others are based off several locations he has traveled to over the years. With numerous friends in military and law enforcement circles, their stories provide the basis for many plot lines and background characters as well. In fact, it was a legend from a pair of friends that inspired his first novel Reduction.
