Brian has written 5 books, four of which have become New York Times bestsellers. They include "The Games Do Count", "It's How You Play the Game", "George Washington's Secret Six" (based on the Culper ring spies who worked for George Washington during the American Revolution), "Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates" and "Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans" which was co-written with Don Yaeger. Combined, he has amassed more than 2.5 million readers from all over the world. When asked of his motivations, he stated that he desired to "talk about how our country progressed and how close we came to total annihilation." "People might understand a little bit more about where we came from to appreciate where we are." Specifically, when focusing on the Battle of New Orleans and the War of 1812 in his latest novel, Brian stated "the odds of us winning were so infinitesimal that it was worth explaining how we did it in such an overwhelming way and it leads me back to Jackson, a self-made American-born militia general who inspired these guys to this incredible victory, who was a composite of America: Choctaw Indians, freed men of color, you had regular marines, you had militia, you had Tennessee and Kentucky sharpshooters, everyone from the town from Cajuns to pirates, they combined to take out the British."

His next work will focus on Tennessee figure Sam Houston, who was a protege of Andrew Jackson. When asked why he chose Sam, Brian answered "I got lucky. I mean I don't want to do the civil war. I just feel it's overdone and I can't bring anything new to it and it's so divisive. So I said, what can I do in between? And then when I found out from reading Sam Houston biographies ...that Sam Houston is fighting in the Creek battles with Jackson and that he was wounded, and Jackson walked over to the wounded guys and says 'I need another surge I got to finish these guys off tonight' and with a bullet in his leg he gets up and fights with Jackson, takes ANOTHER bullet, and thought he was doing to die. And then lives, and then he walks back to Washington as he heals, and sees it burn to the ground. And I go, 'this is a perfect way to pick up where Jackson left off'.
