Grin & Guardian Gang | Skip-Tracing and Sizzle: A Firefighter's Tale

We sit down with Thad Diaz, an independent author and retired firefighter, who has seamlessly blended his passion for storytelling with his real-life experiences. Known by his pen name, T. Allen Diaz, Thad has carved out a niche in the world of sci-fi and fantasy, with several of his series reaching the top 20 in their categories both in the U.S. and the U.K. Thad shares how his writing journey took an unexpected turn during a conversation with a fellow firefighter. That chat sparked the idea for a gripping new story, centered around Logan Walsh—a Hillsborough County Fire Captain who moonlights as a skip-tracer alongside his bounty-hunting father. Though the concept came to him years ago, Thad had to put it on hold until the time was right. Now, with his firefighting days behind him, Thad has brought Logan Walsh to life in a tale that explores the intense, dual existence of a firefighter and a bounty hunter. Logan’s story is one of courage, resilience, and the tough choices that come with balancing duty, family, and personal ethics. Join us as we delve into Thad’s creative process, his transition from firefighting to full-time writing, and the unique challenges of crafting a character who embodies both the heroism and the hard realities of two demanding professions.
