From Air Force Researcher to Historical Fiction Author:Brock Meier's Remarkable Second Act

In this episode of Created to Write, retired Air Force researcher Brock Meier proves it's never too late to answer a creative calling.

Brock brings a scientist's precision to faith-based writing, evolving from a spontaneous pantser into a structured researcher who digs into archaeological studies to ground his historical fiction. His Christian author process is methodical, and the results speak for themselves.

What makes his work distinctive is its accessibility. Brock's Christian faith subtly shapes his biblically based narratives without alienating secular readers, a balance every Christian author writing for a broad audience needs to hear about.

His advice to aspiring creators is direct - push through imposter syndrome and stay the course, because the long game is always worth it.

After a half-century career of scientific research, BrockMeier now explores the incredible, untold stories of little-known people from centuries past. Written, cultural, and material history are the springboard from which his “Stories Begin Where the History Ends.” When not writing, BrockMeier makes exotic wines and experimental desserts as he listens to jazz, opera, and classical music—all while thinking where the next story is headed.Brock lives in the quiet beauty of the Texas Hill Country. His debut novel, The Stone Cutter, was awarded the Ancient World Historical Fiction Book of the Year.
