BORDERS & BARRIERS

In 1987, Dietrich Mickler risks everything to lead his family across one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world. One mistake could mean torture or death. 

​

Their only hope may lie with Günter and Helga Hartmann—new friends who claim to know what it takes to escape the German Democratic Republic. With so much at stake, Dietrich must decide how far he is willing to trust them.

 

Choices made one desperate night at the southern border of East Germany will reach across decades in ways no one could have imagined.

​

The border Dietrich's family risked everything to cross may be far behind them and an ocean away in America, but what happened there is not. As his children and grandchildren struggle with difficult decisions—and with one another—old wounds reopen, buried regrets surface, and a family already under immense strain begins to fracture.

​

Borders & Barriers is a gripping story of courage and sacrifice, guilt and forgiveness, and two families that risk everything for freedom only to discover barriers that freedom alone cannot erase.

THE OTHEREALM SAGA

1 - DUFD (FRONT) Cover.jpg
1 - DELIVER US FROM DARKNESS
Does Heaven Exist?

What About Hell?

​

     Right now, those questions are the only things keeping Brent Lawton alive.
     Tormented by temptation, depression, and relentless mind games, Brent is stalked by a “prime-evil” force—one that whispers of death and lures him ever closer to the edge of suicide.
     Tara Baker—a seductive witch steeped in black magic—is hellbent on destroying the lives of two "Christlings."
     Her mission is dark. Her methods, darker. And she'll stop at nothing–ritual, deception, or seduct-ion–to claim her victory.

     But Tara is being watched. Watched by a power far beyond her understanding.

       Two lives on a collision course. 
            A war raging just beyond the veil. 
                 Someone—or some thing—will win.

2 - WHEN DARKNESS COMES

     Twenty-four years have passed since Brent Lawton, Marta Rosales, and Karen McLaughlin had their lives upended by a black-magic witch named Tara Baker.
     Brent never left his hometown of Millsville, Ohio. Now a police officer and a devoted husband with three children, he’s built a life rooted in the strengths of faith and family. But something dark is stirring within the peaceful suburb.  

​​

Residents are having premonitions.
Something is coming. Something evil.

 

         From the shadows of ancient history, Picti high priests Brendan Cadeyrn and Stephanie O’Leary—Tara’s former mentor—have unearthed relics of a long-dead religion. One  so powerful it once repelled the legions of ancient Rome. With hundreds of followers at their backs, they intend to resurrect the
religion, and with it a power that has lain dormant for over a millennium.
     Their goal is simple: Dominating power.
Their warning is clear: No one stands in their way.
     But one family will. 
     With a chilling twist few will see coming, this is the story of a family at war. They will confront the darkness and put their lives on  the line for the sake of their God, their community, and each other.

3 - BEHIND THE DARKNESS

“The foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of any man’s plans.”  — 1 Corinthians 1:25

 

Control is a delusion... a tantalizing mirage pursued by all, from the mighty to the meek. Can it be bargained for, bought, or seized?

And if captured, how much power does it

truly grant?

​

Brent Lawton is about to share a story with his wife that will affect their lives forever. Hear the tale unfold as she learns of a twenty-five-year-old man—hostile toward God—who is unexpectedly bestowed with extraordinary supernatural powers and charged with the perilous mission of protecting the life of a    pre-born baby ... without the mother knowing.

​

Journey into a hidden domain where spiritual beings—unseen by most—clash in a relentless struggle for the souls of humanity. Can one man’s resolve and good intentions prevail when a sinister, ancient evil attempts to intervene?

​

Who—or what—truly governs the threads of life and death?

Drew had never touched a minor before.  

But now, sitting in his car, looking through the windows …  he wondered if he could—if he’d dare.

​
                 The Award-Winning and Chilling                      Conclusion to the Otherealm Saga 

 

​     It’s been two years since Pittston Police Chief Brent Lawton and his wife discovered a girl, barely into her teens, weeping in an aisle of a grocery store, her life scarred by pain and rejection.
​     At eleven years of age, Elizabeth Franklin’s curiosity about forbidden online images drew her into the shadowy world of pornography, where explicit websites provided glimpses into what adults do behind closed doors. In chat rooms, she found fleeting popularity, especially among men.
​     More than three years of online give and take placed Elizabeth in a position to make a reckless decision—a one-on-one encounter with a teenage boy that produced a life-altering consequence: Pregnancy.
​
     After being tossed aside by socially conscious parents for her refusal to get an abortion, Elizabeth found rekindled hope within

the home of the Lawton family.
​
     But danger lurks beneath Elizabeth's newfound security. Her ongoing online habits have attracted a predator who now knows

how to find her. As the threat closes in, the Lawtons remain unaware, and Elizabeth believes she's met a man who can make her dreams come true.
​
     That Dark Place, the award-winning final chapter of the Otherealm Saga, delivers a gripping tale of vulnerability, redemption,

and a battle against a sinister darkness.
