Brad Meltzer is the author of The Lightning Rod, a Zig and Nora novel. Brad Meltzer,

if you don't know, is the number one New York Times bestselling author of 12 previous thrillers,

including the escape artist, with more than 11 million copies sold.

He also helped find the missing 9-11 flag with his History Channel TV show, Brad Meltzer's

Lost History, and Brad Meltzer's Decoded.

In addition, he is the author of the nonfiction bestseller The Lincoln Conspiracy,

as well as the Blockbuster children's history book series,

Ordinary People Change the World. You've probably seen all those books when characters in history appear as children. Like, I am Oprah Winfrey and all of those books. Anyway, they're amazing. And I

actually talked to Brad about those books and his other books on this podcast before, so you can go

back and listen to our previous episode if you just can't get enough.

A PBS Kids TV show, based on his books, Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum now has 28

million viewers and was recently nominated for multiple Emmys and TCA Awards.

Brad has written best-selling comic books with Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man.

The Hollywood Reporter put him on their list of the 25 most powerful authors,

and he's a favorite author of multiple U.S. presidents.

I wonder how they know that.

But anyway, that's amazing.
