Joseph, a master craftsman and carpenter, stokes the ire of his family when he weds his pregnant (and seemingly unfaithful) betrothed, Mary. Pious, devout, and guided by the dictates of Heaven, Joseph has no issue with taking Mary – who still claims to be a virgin – as his wife and committing himself to the protection of her child, whom he senses is extraordinary.
However, there are others who are also aware of how special the child is, and not all have its best interests at heart. Among these is the despot Herod, whose oppressive rule and wanton cruelty are legendary. Deeply troubled by a prophecy concerning a King to Come, the tyrant is committed to finding – and eliminating – this threat to his reign. (And, having already murdered members of his own family in order to maintain power, Herod has no qualms about killing a baby.) In addition, there are forces beyond the ken of men that also recognize the singular nature of Mary’s child, and which are determined to keep the salvation that the babe represents out of mankind’s reach.
All of these factions and more converge on Mary and Joseph as they trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem in hopes of starting a new life. On a journey fraught with peril, Joseph fights to protect Mary and her unborn child from danger on all sides, including the elements, bandits, and Herod’s legions – as well as an utterly evil and otherworldly demonic force determined to stamp out mankind’s only hope of redemption.
Armed with little more than his wits, his faith, and his carpenter’s hammer, Joseph must face impossible odds to ensure the safety and survival of not only his family, but mankind’s future…

While on the run from the Iranian secret police, CIA officer Titus Ray encounters a group of Iranian Christians. The battle-hardened intelligence officer becomes a believer shortly before being smuggled out of Iran to freedom in Turkey. Back in the States, Titus learns he’s been targeted by a Hezbollah assassin. Now, while trying to figure out what it means to be a follower of Christ, Titus must decide if the couple he meets in Norman, Oklahoma has ties to the man who’s trying to kill him, and if Nikki Saxon, a beautiful local detective, can be trusted with his secrets.

I was inspired to write this series of Christian thrillers after hearing about the persecution of Christians in Iran. I asked, what if a CIA covert officer met a group of these believers and made a commitment to Christ? How would this battle-hardened member of America’s foremost intelligence agency be able to continue to do what he does best–lie, deceive and commit treacherous acts–while learning to be a follower of Christ?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to show Christians that God can create a beautiful relationship from difficult circumstances. There are people who are stuck in controlling relationships and are afraid to leave because of the fear of the unknown. I wanted to show that sometimes God has a better plan if we just trust Him with our needs.
