Get to Know The Auther 

My name is Briand Thayer Wade. I am a Christian author, a father, and an attorney, and I live on the seashore of New Hampshire. I wrote my first story in the 1990s, a way to help my three daughters as they grew from little girls into young women. Over the years, these stories became part of our family, shared not only at bedtime but with friends and relatives, who kept telling me the same thing: these stories need to be published.

As my daughters grew older, they became the ones pushing that dream forward.

Together we turned it into reality with my first three books, now available on Amazon. There are many more stories still waiting to be told. Every Christmas, I gift my daughters a brand new story, written just for them.

I am slow to share these stories with the world, but I invite you to join me on this journey as I navigate publishing them, alongside another journey close to my heart: writing through my wife's battle with cancer, and the miracle that her life was, through to the day she went home to heaven.

I believe God has given me the gift of writing, and I am grateful for the chance to share these stories with all of you. 

Happy reading!

Christian storybooks by Briand Thayer Wade

Faith based Christmas stories written to bring families closer together, and closer to their faith.

 book cover

Many wonderful Christmas stories have warmed our hearts from year to year. Filled with hope, love and joy, these stories seek to remind us that Christmas isn't to be a celebration of material wealth, but to be a reminder of the greatest Gift that each of us has ever received. Christmas is about the Gift of our Salvation, through a small child, born into poverty, with no home, rags for clothes, and no bed to call his own. The story of The Greatest Gift, seeks to remind us once again, that it is not what we have on Christmas Day that makes the celebration of Christmas so special. Rather, it is who we are Blessed to share the birth of our Savior with, which makes all the difference, as we journey to a Heaven, the likes of which our eyes have never seen, nor our ears have ever heard.
