NOTE ABOUT MISSING PURCHASE LINKS: In early June 2025, BHC Books, my longtime publisher, announced that it was going out of business, shuttering operations on June 30th. This put all of their authors in the staggering position of having to find another way to get republished, as ALL published works through BHC Press were reverted to the ownership of the authors. Some (probably most) will do as I'm doing currently, scrambling to reformat the books for "Indie" publication. This is a daunting and time-consuming process, involving recreating book covers, re-editing, reformatting text, embedding graphics, etc. When the authors are satisfied that their books are in good shape, they will put them back up for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Draft 2 Digital, etc. Some will, during this process, also be pursuing another publisher for their works. I will be doing that at some point, as well. If you see a work on this page that is no longer available by clicking on a link, fear not... it is just delayed. I will be publishing all books first through Amazon. Thank you for your patience!

Testimonies

“

I guess it requires me to express my feelings about your book Deliver Us From Darkness. ... I can get a very clear picture of who the people are and how they feel. It is like a manual of “How to get to the feet of GOD and get loved.” [It] dismisses doubts like, “He will not accept me, for I am such an evil person.”

“

A few nights ago, one of my oldest

and dearest friends called me to tell

me he wanted to talk to me about something... What followed was a long night of praying. I over-nighted my

copy of Deliver Us from Darkness to him. Tonight, he called to tell me he

... prayed the prayer of salvation. Tomorrow, he's going to church for

the first time since we were teenagers!

My friend Cheryl gifted your Deliver Us from Darkness book to me. It's definitely a God story how that all happened. ... Just wanted to say I loved your book! I cried through the last few chapters ... You write well but more than that, this book was used by the Lord to further confirm something He has been speaking. Your book had a specific purpose in my life and for that I thank God that you wrote it!

WQTT Radio ** - Frank Lattimore Interview

00:00

In these streaming audios (left), I share my painful past—personal encounters with darkness—that led to the point in my life where, with no hope, someone came to my rescue.

Note: The rocky relationships within my family were healed in the years that followed. We're all blessed to be in each others' lives. God does wonderful things! In the WQTT Radio Interview, I inadvertently stated that my brother had been 4 or 5 years old, when, in fact, he had been 6 or 7 at the time.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by blogger and author Devin Joubert (yo-bear). She asked questions about my writing journey, a question about how someone who wants to become an author can accomplish that goal, and more. Additionally, I spoke about the content of my series, The Otherealm Saga, and why I chose such dark themes to write about.
