About the Author

Michael “MABS” Brown

​

Michael “MABS” Brown brings a unique blend of technical precision and storytelling flair to his debut work, Fore the Family—the first in what promises to be a rich collection of tales from a writer who has never met a story he couldn’t make memorable. Known to friends and family simply as MABS, Brown has spent years honing his craft before one of his most demanding audiences: his own brothers, who have become devoted readers of his almost-daily “2Ball Blog,” where he transforms the mundane world of basketball recaps into vivid, entertaining narratives that capture not just the scores, but the soul of the game.

​

Brown’s distinctive voice—equal parts quirky observation and petty humor, with a generous helping of adventurous spirit—has earned him recognition beyond the family circle. His commitment to fitness and storytelling recently landed him the title of Men’s Health Member of the Month for January 2025, a testament to his dedication to both physical and creative pursuits.

​

By day, MABS navigates the complex world of information technology, solving problems and managing systems with the same attention to detail that characterizes his writing. But it’s in his off-hours that his true passion emerges: crafting stories that friends and colleagues have consistently praised for their descriptive power and ability to find the extraordinary in the everyday. Whether recounting a particularly contentious pickup game, a family gathering gone awry, or an unexpected adventure that began with a simple trip to the grocery store, Brown has an uncanny ability to paint scenes so vividly that readers feel they’re experiencing the moments firsthand.

​

Fore the Family represents the natural evolution of a storyteller who has spent years perfecting his craft in the digital trenches of daily blogging, where every post had to earn its readership and every story had to deliver. With this debut, MABS Brown steps onto a larger stage, bringing his signature blend of humor, heart, and unflinching honesty to readers who are ready to discover their next favorite storyteller.
