Who IS BRIGHAM STONE?

Brigham Stone is the kind of author who can quote both the Book of Mormon and Pulp Fiction in the same breath—and enjoy every word.

Raised in the heart of Salt Lake City, he checked all the boxes of a devout Mormon life: graduating Seminary, serving an honorable two-year mission, meeting his wife in Provo, and marrying in the Temple. But beneath the white shirt and tie beat the heart of a kid raised on the explosive, irreverent films of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, the sharp-witted dialogue of Kevin Smith, and the biting satire of South Park. He strived to be the best Mormon he could be, all while nurturing a darker, more twisted sense of humor.

Today, Brigham proudly calls Utah County—the Mormon capital of the world—his home. He identifies as a "broken-shelf" Post-Mormon, a term that will resonate with anyone who has navigated the complex journey of a faith crisis. He cherishes his cultural heritage, the memories of his mission, and the community he loves, but cannot reconcile the dogma and history of the institution that shaped him.

This paradox is the forge for his fiction.

Writing is Brigham’s way of colliding two worlds: the rich mythology and unique culture of Mormonism with the high-octane, action-packed thrillers he adores. His novels are not anti-Mormon tracts or historical documents; they are completely fictional explorations of "what if?" They are a space for the true believer, the Ex-Mo, and the curious onlooker to share a thrilling story.

If you’re a fan of the cultural dissection in Under the Banner of Heaven, the irreverence of The Book of Mormon Musical, or the "secret lives" of modern Mormonism, you've found your next read. Welcome to the fray.
