Bryan Reardon is a writer based in West Chester, PA. Previously, he worked as a medical communications specialist and for the Office of the Governor of Delaware. Reardon is the coauthor of the books, Cruel Harvest: A Memoir, with Fran Elizabeth Grubb, and Ready, Set, Play!: Parents and Children Bonding Through Sports, with Mark Schlereth and Mark Preisler.
In 2018, Reardon released the novel, The Real Michael Swann. It begins with the titular character waiting in New York’s Penn Station when a bomb explodes. His wife, Julia, is shocked when the news stations report that Michael was the one who set off the bomb. As federal agents hunt for Michael, who survived the blast, Julia tries to help him, certain that he was not the bomber.
In an interview with a contributor to the Real Book Spy website, Reardon stated: “I came up with the initial idea while standing in a very overcrowded Penn Station watching the board as every train in and out was delayed. I was amazed by how quickly the station filled up. And, as my wife can attest, the curse of having a mind that likes to write kicked in. I immediately started to plot out what could happen. That’s when the beginning of the book, the bombing of the station, came to me. It took years after that to turn that single incident into a full novel.” Reardon told a writer on the Big Thrill website: “As much as I want the action and drama in The Real Michael Swann to catch hold of the reader, the story is so much about the love between a husband and wife, and their children. And the struggles our families face every day.”
Critics offered favorable assessments of The Real Michael Swann. Stephanie Rostan, reviewer in Publishers Weekly, suggested: “Readers shouldn’t be surprised if they find themselves staying up to finish this in one sitting.” “Reardon comes up with an intriguing and original premise here,” asserted a Kirkus Reviews writer. Kristin Centorcelli, contributor to the Criminal Element website, commented: “The Real Michael Swann by Bryan Reardon is a deftly plotted suspense novel with an unflinching portrait of a marriage at its heart, challenging us to confront the unthinkable—both in our country and in our own homes.” “Clever, believable and thought-provoking, this is definitely bestseller material. Reading groups are sure to find plenty to discuss,” wrote a critic on the Nudge website. A reviewer on the Real Book Spy website opined: “The Real Michael Swann is powerful, moving, and helplessly addictive.”

On a typical late summer day, Julia Swann is on the phone with her husband, Michael, when the call abruptly goes dead. Then the news rolls in: A bomb has gone off at Penn Station, where Michael was waiting for a train home. New York City is in a state of chaos.
A frantic Julia races to the city to look for Michael, her panic interwoven with memories of meeting and falling in love with the husband she’s now desperate to find. When someone finds a flier she’s posted and tells her they may have seen her husband, her dreams seem to be answered. Yet as she tries to find him, her calls go unanswered.
Weaving between the aftermath of the explosion and Julia’s memories of her life with Michael, new developments raise troubling questions. Did Michael survive the explosion? Why hasn’t he contacted her? What was he doing when their last call was cut off? Was he–or is he still–the man she fell in love with?
Part family drama, part tragic love story, and part disaster narrative that hits terrifyingly close to home, THE REAL MICHAEL SWANN is a deftly plotted suspense novel with an unflinching portrait of a marriage at its heart, challenging us to confront the unthinkable–both in our country and in our own homes.
The Big Thrill caught up with New York Times bestselling author Bryan Reardon to discuss his latest thriller, THE REAL MICHAEL SWANN:
What do you hope readers will take away from this book?
As much as I want the action and drama in THE REAL MICHAEL SWANN to catch hold of the reader, the story is so much about the love between a husband and wife, and their children. And the struggles our families face every day. When someone reaches the last page, I hope they can relate to the characters in the story enough to miss them when they are gone.
Was there anything new you discovered, or that surprised you, as you wrote this book?
Cell phones. Not that cell phones are new, but I had never dreamed how much of a challenge writing a thriller can be with them in the picture. It is hard to maintain any sort of mystery when the characters can just Google everything as it happens. I imagine that would have made Hercule Poirot’s job a heck of a lot easier.
What authors or books have influenced your career as a writer, and why?
Donna Tartt’s Secret History and Stephen King’s The Stand, because the characters that live in these stories are so real and true. The thrills and chills come alive through them, like the action is around you instead of on the page. And Michael Creighton, whose books possess such perfect structure that I learn something new with every read.

THE REAL MICHAEL SWANN: Five Questions with Bryan Reardon
When an explosion rocks New York City, Julia Swann worries for her husband’s safety. She’d just been on the phone with him as he entered Penn Station, heading home from a long day at work. Suddenly, their phone connection died. Moments later, reports of a bomber fill the airwaves, sending Julia into a panic as she frantically attempts to make her way from their suburb home to Penn Station, where she hopes that her husband, Michael, is still alive and waiting for her. Halfway there, Julia overhears a radio station report that eye-witnesses have worked with police in an effort to apprehend the bomber, whom the authorities have since identified as Michael Swann.
Refusing to believe that her husband could be part of such a heinous attack, Julia joins the growing number of people looking for Michael Swann, though she might be the only one with intentions other than arresting him for an act of terrorism.
To be honest, I knew nothing about this book when I started it. I didn’t read the media packet that came with it or even glance at the plot synopsis. I just dove in, eager to see what Bryan Reardon had written. It didn’t take long for me to be completely hooked, racing through the pages, searching for and wondering, like the characters, who the real Michael Swann is. . .
I was thrilled when Reardon agreed to take part in our Five Questions segment and struggled the narrow my long list of notes down to just five measly questions. I asked him about everything from how he came up with the story idea for this page-turning thriller to what his next book is about. Read those answers and the rest of the Q&A below, and then make sure to pick up The Real Michael Swann the second it hits bookstores tomorrow, June 12th. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
TRBS: What a page-turner! I could not put this book down! How did you come up with the story idea, and how much research did you have to do before actually sitting down to write it?
Reardon: “I came up with the initial idea while standing in a very overcrowded Penn Station watching the board as every train in and out was delayed. I was amazed by how quickly the station filled up. And, as my wife can attest, the curse of having a mind that likes to write kicked in. I immediately started to plot out what could happen. That’s when the beginning of the book, the bombing of the station, came to me. It took years after that to turn that single incident into a full novel.
“As for research, I guess I have a write-first-and-ask-questions-later mentality. For example, when the trains are held up in the novel, I had to pause and research the inner workings of the Penn Station Control Center. It can interrupt the writing process, which is a negative. But I haven’t taught myself to do it the right way. Honestly, I just blame the internet.”
TRBS: What is your writing process like? Do you outline your books, have a target word count you try to hit each day? And do you know all the twists and turns of the story before you start writing?
Reardon: “I would say that my writing process is always evolving, though a lot of my habits stay the same. I tend to write pretty much every day for at least a few hours in the morning. If I can, I do another session in the evening. I try not to take two days in a row off, but that can be hard because I might have to put something aside to edit a book I’ve already finished.
“When it comes to my process, outlining and plotting and character pre-development, it is ever changing. Each book seems to teach me something. I never outlined. I felt it restricted the organic growth of the story. A book never really ends up how I planned it at the beginning. Lately, I’ve outlined more.
“I used to crank out a quick first draft without stopping. That’s how it went with Michael Swann. Lately, though, I find myself writing a part of a book and moving on to work on something else. When I go back, I read what I’ve done and make revisions. Rewrites, sometimes.
“As for twists and turns, I know the core ones from the start. I think it is very difficult to edit in the development you need to pull them off. Instead, you have to know what the end game is as you go and leave clues along the way. With every story, though, new twists pop up along the way. I’d say more about the particular twists in this book, but it is so hard to even talk about it without spoiling the ending. And I’ve been warned by many people not to do that.”
TRBS: How long did it take you to write your first novel, and what advice do you have for aspiring authors?
Reardon: “I wrote my first published novel in two to three months. Now, I wrote about ten novels before that. They sit on old floppy disks and data sticks in the drawer below my printer. Some I may revisit. All of them I consider my education.
“As for advice, I have two thoughts. The first ties into the ten books I have collecting dust. Writers need to write. A lot. In my opinion, they need to be critiqued, too. It’s the only way to improve. I give a lot of credit to persistence and rejection. Together, they are the best teachers.
“My second thought is a little more practical. It’s something I use all the time. If I am writing a story and I find myself getting bored, I stop. If I’m bored writing it, the reader will be ten times as bored when it gets to them. Sometimes, when that happens, it means the plot needs some action. Sometimes, it means the plot is just not working. Sometimes I can fix it. Sometimes, I have to just move on to the next thing.”
TRBS: Who are some of your favorite authors, and what books are currently sitting on your nightstand?
Reardon: “I am a chronic re-reader. So there is always J.D. Salinger, Donna Tart, George R. R. Martin, and Bernard Cornwall somewhere on my nightstand, among others. Sadly, I find myself reading less now than I used to. I think it is because I write way more often. The good news is that I still can’t fall asleep at night without reading at least a few pages.”
TRBS: Lastly, now that The Real Michael Swann is set to hit bookstores, what’s next for you?
Reardon: My next book, which is untitled, is in the editorial process. The awesome people at Dutton Books describe it as ‘a Cain and Abel story of two brothers with a dark and complicated past, whose lifelong rivalry comes to a head when the latter is driven to one final, desperate act.'”

The Real Michael Swann
Bryan Reardon. Dutton, $26 (352p) ISBN 9781-5247-4232-4
In this addictively readable thriller from bestseller Reardon (FindingJake), Julia Swann--who lives with her husband, Michael, and two young children in a Philadelphia suburb--is talking on the phone to Michael, who's waiting for a train at New York City's Penn Station, when the line suddenly goes dead. She soon learns that a bomb has killed hundreds at the station. She has reason to believe Michael is alive if unaccounted for, and vows to find him. At the same time, she must come to grips with the reality that behind the seemingly idyllic facade of their marriage lurk some dark secrets. Reardon keeps the suspense high with alternating points of view and nonstop action as Julia, an intimately portrayed and identifiable main character, seeks her missing husband. The premise may not be that original and many will anticipate the resolution, but readers shouldn't be surprised if they find themselves staying up to finish this in one sitting.

Reardon, Bryan THE REAL MICHAEL SWANN Dutton (Adult Fiction) $26.00 6, 12 ISBN: 978-1-5247-4232-4
A novel about the consequences of a terrorist attack in New York City.
Reardon comes up with an intriguing and original premise here. Michael Swann is at Penn Station and is talking to Julia, his wife, on the phone when a massive explosion goes off, severing the call in midsentence. News reports soon begin to filter out of the confusion and chaos--that the terrorist who set off the bomb is not a foreigner but rather an American with a grudge against corporations. (Although many hundreds died in the attack, seven executives of a large chemical company seem to have been targeted specifically.) Julia is at home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and understandably in a state of panic verging on hysteria. She gets in her car and tries to get into the city, but the Lincoln Tunnel is closed because of mayhem in the streets. And then, in an updated news report, Julia learns the name of the alleged terrorist: Michael Swann. Reardon splits his narrative between a third-person narrative that focuses on how Julia, her family, and her friends deal with the inconceivable events and a first-person account that purports to give us Michael's dazed thoughts as he staggers around with a concussion and amnesia--he seems to have forgotten who Julia is--brought about by the blast. Slowly, she's able to make contact with him and, convinced of his innocence, tries to make surreptitious arrangements to meet up with him, a task that involves evading agents from Homeland Security who are seeking to find the suspect quickly before he can create more destruction. A cat-and-mouse game ensues as Julia tries to find Michael before government agents can get to him.
Many twists and turns that keep readers guessing till the end.

The Real Michael Swann
Bryan Reardon
June 12, 2018
Part family drama, part tragic love story, and part disaster narrative that hits terrifyingly close to home, The Real Michael Swann by Bryan Reardon is a deftly plotted suspense novel with an unflinching portrait of a marriage at its heart, challenging us to confront the unthinkable—both in our country and in our own homes.
Imagine finding out that a loved one might have died in a terrorist attack. Imagine, then, that your loved one is accused of the crime. That’s what happens to Julia Swann in Bryan Reardon’s unputdownable thriller. Michael Swann is at an increasingly crowded Penn Station after a brush fire delays the trains. He’s trying to get home, but it’s proving difficult.
“It looks bad,” she said. “Have you thought more about getting a car?”
“I called around.”
“What?” she asked. “I couldn’t hear you.”
“I called around.” He said, louder. “Sounds like people beat me to it. I might just get a room. Would that be ok?”
“Where?”
He paused. “The Paramount might not be too bad.”
“Probably three hundred a night,” she said.
“You’re right.”
Julia immediately regretted what she said. A few months before, she would not have mentioned it at all. Yet uncertainty had crept into her thoughts, and suddenly $300 sounded like a lot of money for a hotel room.
“But … whatever you want to do is fine. I mean, if everything works out, we’ll be fine.”
She heard what sounded like a bark. She blinked.
“Was that a dog?”
“I don’t—”
In the midst of Michael’s sentence, the line went dead.
If you sense a bit of tension between them in their conversation, you’d be right, but it pales to what comes next. Soon, Julia finds out that a bomb has been detonated in Penn Station. Hundreds are dead, much of Madison Square Garden has collapsed, and Julia is desperate to know what happened to Michael.
She is also, refreshingly, completely unsure how to handle the situation with her boys, Thomas and Evan, who are 12 and nine. In the heat of the moment, she even fakes a phone call with Michael after the kids see the news on TV. She doesn’t want them to panic, and it’s the only thing she can think to do. She’s immediately sorry for the decision, but I really think the scene will especially resonate with parents—those of us that, half the time, are just flying by the seat of our pants, especially in situations where we have absolutely no previous context to help us deal with them. It’s a heartbreaking little scene:
“Call Daddy,” he said.
“I…”
“Call Daddy.”
Julia did not know what to say. She didn’t know what to do. No thoughts formed. No decisions. She needed to feel this, to comprehend and process what she had heard on the television. At the same time, she had to be there for the boys. She couldn’t be herself. She had to be someone else, someone above this. Someone who could remain calm. Could handle this. She had to do that for Evan, and for Thomas.
“Okay,” Julia said.
She dialed Michael’s number. It went directly to voicemail. She looked into Evan’s eyes. She didn’t see the pain and fear. Instead, she felt it deep inside her own heart. Her own soul. And she did something then that could never be undone.
Julia then leaves the kids with a friend and goes into the city to search for Michael, whom she’s convinced is alive. While there, she largely relies on the kindness of strangers to help her, and they do help. In fact, Reardon paints a pretty convincing picture of the aftermath of a terrorist attack. It’s chaos, and not everyone is friendly, but people do go out of their way to help Julia and show her small acts of kindness—which, in her frantic state, threaten to just about unravel her. For example, she nearly comes apart after someone in a print shop designs and prints hundreds of MISSING flyers for her for free.
Woven in with Julia’s search for Michael is the story of their lives, from their first meeting to dating, marriage, career changes, children, and finally, to the days and months leading up to his trip to NYC. Reardon is great at highlighting the small and large dramas of marriage, noting that even the most “perfect” relationships are rarely completely so. He also weaves in the stress that the current political climate has put on relationships of all kinds (particularly notable since Julia was in politics when she was younger).
There is another narrative in play, but to reveal that one could lead to Spoilerville, and the twist in this one is pretty good. Perhaps unsurprising but still a good one. This is just an overall riveting book, and it works as a thriller, a mystery, and an astute autopsy of a marriage, not to mention a well-drawn family drama. Nicely done.
QUOTED: "Clever, believable and thought-provoking, this is definitely bestseller material. Reading groups are sure to find plenty to discuss."

The Real Michael Swann by Bryan Reardon
Review published on August 16, 2018.
If, like me, you don’t usually read thrillers, I recommend you make an exception for this novel.
Julia and Michael Swann and their two young sons live in Pennsylvania. Julia is a stay-at-home mom while Michael is a sales rep who has gone to New York for a job interview. He makes a phone call home to say he will be late home as all the train lines have been closed due to a bush fire. The call is suddenly cut short – and then the nightmare begins.
This is Trump’s America and a bomb has exploded in Penn station, causing hundreds of deaths and catastrophic damage. Julia and the boys wait desperately for news, unable to contact Michael. The pace picks up in a breathless series of chapters which alternate between Julia frantically sending voicemail messages and texts and the thoughts of the man who receives them, a man who has sustained a head injury and cannot remember who he is.
The novel is frighteningly topical and grimly believable. The man wanders about injured and confused, while Julia sets out in her car to try and find him in a sequence of events that is horribly gripping and extremely tense. Meanwhile, in flashbacks, we trace the arc of Julia and Michael’s relationship from their first meeting to the present day.
The novel manages to be both a portrait of a marriage with all its ups and downs and an unputdownable depiction of disaster and its aftermath.
The chapters are short and punchy, cranking up the suspense little by little. The reader is forced to feel Julia’s anguish as well as to share in the man’s frustration at not being able to remember who he is, or what happened. The descriptions are vividly visual and I feel sure the book is destined to be a film.
It would be wrong to give away the twists of the plot as the reader is kept guessing up to the very end. Clever, believable and thought-provoking, this is definitely bestseller material. Reading groups are sure to find plenty to discuss.

A Book Spy Review: ‘The Real Michael Swann’ by Bryan Reardon
ORDER NOW
No one ever expects to be caught in a terrorist attack on their way home from work, but in Bryan Reardon’s new thriller, Michael Swann finds himself in the midst of chaos after a bomb rings out at Penn Station on an ordinary summer afternoon.
The story opens with Michael chatting away on his cell phone to his lovely wife, Julia, who is back at their West Chester, Pennsylvania home with their two children. Suddenly, an explosion fills the air, abruptly cutting off their call — leaving Julia in panic as she struggles to process what just happened. Soon, news reports come pouring in, confirming her worst fear, that a bomb detonated at the very location her husband was standing.
Multiple media outlets all report the same thing, that the bomb was an act of terrorism. But, in a surprise twist, the bomber isn’t revealed to be some Middle Eastern jihadist who came to America to strike a blow to the Great Satan like so many expected. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, as the bomber is said to be an American who was targeting members of a large chemical corporation. . . a man by the name of Michael Swann.
Upon hearing her husband’s name in connection with the bombing, Julia’s nightmare quickly turns into hell on earth. After additional reports surface suggesting that Swann is unaccounted for, Julia tries desperately to get into New York City, where she’s convinced her husband — innocent of all the crimes being alleged against him — is wandering around as confused as she is. But Julia isn’t the only one trying to track down Michael. So too are the local authorities and the Department of Homeland Security, all of whom believe him to be guilty.
As Julia races to find her husband before the police do, she slowly begins to peel back the layers of her marriage, looking for anything that might point to Michael being capable of such a heinous act. . . hoping all the while that her husband has been framed, but still preparing herself for the unthinkable.
Bryan Reardon tells the story through alternating POVs, with the bulk of the plot centered around Julia and her quest to find the truth. Whereas so many stories and real-life tragedies tend to focus on the person at the epicenter of the event, and rightfully so, Reardon shifts the lens towards the family of the alleged bomber, analyzing the hell they walk through in the aftermath of their family name being etched into history for all the wrong reasons.
Told with a relentless pacing that grabs readers early and refuses to let go, Bryan Reardon’s latest thriller is a gripping account of the consequences families face following a domestic terrorist attack. The Real Micach Swann is powerful, moving, and helplessly addictive. . . trust me, you be able to set this book down for a second.
