Bracy grew up near New Orleans and though he has lived across the US, still considers the Crescent City his home; thus, his love for Creole food, Mardi Gras, Saints football, Voodoo, and all that makes New Orleans unique. His writing reflects his heritage, though his works span continents and centuries. Mike Madison began as a short story composed for Bracy’s young son, but has grown to a series of father/son adventures. Bracy describes the Dan Madison and Michael Madison Adventures as "Family Mystery and Adventure" and has endeavored to keep the content appropriate for parents and their children to share.
