Take some time this coming Saturday, October 31 before Trick Or Treating and join a dozen or so local authors at our “4th Annual Wholesome Book Fair” at Barksdale Baptist Church, 1714 Jimmie Davis Highway from 11 – 2 PM.

I will have my latest (and last!) Jonathan Steel book, “The 1st Demon: Imago Diaboli” available not only as paper back but ebook code for any digital book reader. If you haven’t read my “Chronicles of Jonathan Steel” series, I have re-edited the first three books and now would be a good time to start the series. They would make great Christmas presents.

Let me address the “demon” in the room. My books do not in any way glorify demonic actions or Satan. My books are character driven and focus on spiritual warfare between the forces of good and evil. At the recent GeekD con, I would tell people, “My books are about the spiritual battle between good and evil and any person 13 or older can read them. They are ‘safe’ without gratuitous cursing, sexual content, or gratuitous violence.” Ultimate every book in the 12 book series is redemptive and God honoring.

I also have my two “Jack Merchant Medical Mystery” books and I can tell you readers from my hospital have loved these books. The main character is a radiologist (like me, but I am not Jack Merchant!) who must solve the murder of his wife in order to clear his name. In the process he becomes a consultant to the medical examiner’s office as a forensic radiologist.

And my favorite book of all I have written (18 books in all! I can’t believe that!) is “The Homecoming Tree”. This warm, comfortable story set between Thanksgiving and Christmas 1941 is based on my parents’ life living in Shreveport during World War II. It is filled with historical references to Shreveport and Bossier City in 1941. Each chapter begins with the latest news from that day in 1941!

I have readers who read this book every Christmas. And I have to admit, the tone of this novel was inspired by my favorite movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. So come pick up a copy of “The Homecoming Tree” as a Christmas gift!

I will also have the final books written by my former pastor and co-author, Mark Sutton. Pitfall and Demon Undertow are two very different books and I am privileged to offer his books since his passing in January, 2026. Some of these books are signed by Mark!

Also, at the book fair, you will meet Ruby Elizabeth whose book I just helped to get published. This will be her first book fair and I am looking forward to everyone meeting Ruby and her parents. Her book, “More Than My Diagnosis” is available everywhere, but you can get a special HARDBACK signed copy ONLY at this Book Fair!

I hope to see you there. And, yes, I will have candy! And, yes, I will be in costume. Which one? One of the following: Indiana Jones, War Doctor (from Doctor Who), or a Jedi Master. Come play with us this coming Saturday.
