2020 Marks 10 Years of Ray Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant Thrillers and Mysteries

• Yearlong 2020 Celebration to Include Contests, New Books and More •

Long Island, NY –January kicks off of a yearlong celebration in 2020 marking 10 years of Ray Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers and mysteries.

Author Ray Keating created the character Stephen Grant, a former Navy SEAL, onetime CIA operative and current pastor, in Warrior Monk: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel, which was published in 2010. After many years of writing newspaper columns, nonfiction books and policy studies, Warrior Monk was Keating’s first novel. The 12^th book in the series – The Traitor – was just published in December 2019. 

The 2020 celebration is scheduled to include a monthly contest. Each person who purchases any signed book by Ray Keating at www.raykeatingonline.com during each month will be entered in the prize contest. The winner, picked at random, will receive that month’s prize. The contest starts with a set of two Pastor Stephen Grant mugs for January.

There also will be special 10^thanniversary savings opportunities throughout 2020.

Ray Keating said, “Time flies when you’re having fun. I can’t believe that Warrior Monkwas published ten years ago, and that I’ve written a total of 12 Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers and mysteries. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and feedback from readers, and there are more books coming in 2020, including at least three more novels as well as nonfiction works.”

Keating’s Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers/mysteries – The Traitor (2019), Deep Rough (2019), Shifting Sands (2018), Heroes and Villains (2018), Reagan Country (2018), Lionhearts (2017), Wine Into Water (2016), Murderer’s Row (2015), The River (2014), An Advent For Religious Liberty (2012), Root of All Evil? (2012), and Warrior Monk (Second Edition 2019 – originally published 2010)– have received widespread praise from reviewers and readers. 

Paperbacks and Kindle editions of Keating’s books are available at Amazon.com, and signed books – with signed book purchases automatically entering readers in the month’s contest – at RayKeatingOnline.com.

3 Reasons for Reading the Pastor Stephen Grant Mysteries/Thrillers: Why a New Edition of Warrior Monk?

A new second edition of Warrior Monk: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel has just been published. Why should readers bother with it?

1. New Author Introduction. The new edition has an introduction from Ray Keating, the author of the Pastor Stephen Grant novels. Keating addresses “a few questions people had about the book. For example, what exactly led to writing this story? What the heck was I thinking while writing? What were my expectations? What’s been the response? And more broadly, what’s the point of this endeavor?” Keating also notes “a set of rules that I set down early, and have tried to stick with while writing each subsequent book.”

2. A New Epilogue. Keating has added a new epilogue in this second edition, which provides a peek at or glimpse of an upcoming Pastor Stephen Grant novel. We’ll leave it at that.

3. Thumbs-Up Reviews. Warrior Monk has received assorted thumbs-up reviews. That includes the following comment from Tyrel Bramwell, author of The Gift and the Defender: “It's a spectacular ride steeped in theological intrigue! As a fan of G.K. Chesterton I delighted in the similarities between Keating's Pastor Stephen Grant and Chesterton's Father Brown. In the 20th century, Chesterton, a journalist (among other things), gave the world a detective priest. In the 21st, another journalist (among other things), Keating, gave the world a spy-turned-pastor." As for Amazon reviews, the average rating is 4.4 out of 5 stars.
