Meet B.D. McArthur
Writer of gritty postapocalyptic adventures
B.D. McArthur doesn’t just write stories—he builds worlds, breaks them, and forces his characters to survive them.
A North Carolina native raised in a world of hard lessons and harder people, McArthur grew up an outsider—studying people, learning their patterns, and escaping into books. Stories became his sanctuary, his obsession, and eventually, his craft.
His life took him through sales, politics, and disaster relief, where he learned that persuasion, survival, and strategy aren’t just skills—they’re a way of life. But no matter where he went, storytelling followed. Drawing from a lifetime of experience, his books are immersive, action-packed, and character-driven, exploring faith, survival, morality, and the raw depth of human nature.
McArthur writes both epic, long-term series and standalones that pack a punch—always intense, often sarcastic, and never predictable. His work is for anyone who loves action, grit, and a story that doesn’t let go.
Much like himself, you’ll either love it or hate it.
