Still Here Series

His daughter's kidnapping destroyed his marriage, ripped apart his family, and nearly killed him. But, when his never-ending search for her uncovers dark secrets of one of Washington's most powerful men, he finds himself in that man's cross-hairs. Now Adam Afton, broken and alcoholic, has to quicken his pace to find his missing daughter, while staying one step ahead of the most dangerous killers in the world.   For Aric Afton, the disappearance of his older brother is an enigma that is eating away at their family. The last time Adam fell off their radar, he had taken refuge in an alcoholic stupor, but was quickly found. Not this time. So, when Aric receives a cryptic, anonymous postcard, he knows he has to act—Adam is in trouble . . . and Aric will be there to help, calling on his faith, just as he had the first time.

Aric Afton looks forward to college as a time dedicated to learning, meeting new people, and a real social life. But when he speaks up for free speech, he becomes the guy on campus . . . with a woke target on his back.    Ryan Krueger has dedicated his life to protect and serve. When a protest at the Portland Police Bureau headquarters goes bad, Ryan has a choice to make—to lie down and become the scapegoat that the political higher-ups seek . . . or fight to come out on top.     Dillon Ingersoll is no stranger to war, thanks to a tour as a Marine in Iraq. The only souvenirs of that time were nightmares and PTSD . . . until he accepted Christ as his Lord, Savior, and Healer. But his beloved Texas, with his ranch bordering the Rio Grande, has become just another steppingstone for the cartels bringing their deadly wares into the country, and the nightmares have returned.    Three lives. Three stories. And 'white hat' hacker Adam Afton, with his UltraNet software, becomes the common thread as the earth shakes with the coming change in the U.S. government and the Great Reset of the Deep State.

Are the prophecies of The Apocalypse playing out right before our eyes?   The young and healthy dying sudden, unexplained deaths. Skyrocketing miscarriage and stillbirth rates. Common sense becoming a crime. Public educators acting behind the backs of parents. The weaponizing of law enforcement agencies. We read and hear about these issues daily.   But what if some take a stand and say, "Enough is enough?"   What if some fight back in unexpected ways? Will they win? Or are these skirmishes in a larger war?   Have the beasts of the Book of Revelation already risen? Is it too late to make a decision that will determine your eternity?

For Aric Afton, the campus culture becomes increasingly hostile, and an incident threatens his future. But have his accusers gone too far?   Adam Afton wants to feel right at home . . . in more ways than one. Although reunited with his family, he realizes that his life is missing an "old friend."   As the world spins into increasing craziness, the old saying, "Be careful what you pray for" has never been truer.   From record drought to record rains and snow, southern California now faces its ultimate challenge. And they say that as California goes, so goes the nation. Yet, as Los Angeles goes dark and a new threat arises, a miracle proves that God is still in control.

Writing fiction is one thing. Studying the Bible and writing about its teachings is quite another. This project was over 5 years in the making. After all, I would never want to be guilty of adding to or subtracting from the Word of God. I hope and pray that I've lived up to that standard with this book.   The End Times. The Rapture. A world dictator called the Antichrist. The great tribulation. Christ's second coming. What do you know about these topics? What you've heard in church? Maybe all you know is what you've read or seen in popular fiction. But do you know and understand where some of these ideas came from?   I know I didn't. I'd been taught about the End Times from the pulpit in several churches we had attended over the years. And yet, something gnawed at me about a few of the Scriptures used to support those teachings. And then, roughly six years ago, I began a Spirit-led journey through the Bible that I never imagined would result in a book. Now, here it is.   Open your mind to the possibility that most, if not all, of what you've been taught is wrong.
