Pastor Stephen Grant?

Stephen Grant is the pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on eastern Long Island. Grant is one of the more unique second-career clergy around, as he once worked for the CIA. Besides theology, his interests include archery, golf, writing, classic films, the beach, poker, baseball, and history. Grant also knows his wines, champagnes and brews. Oh yes, he generally dislikes politicians, and happens to be an expert marksman with a handgun and a rifle, while being pretty handy with a combat knife as well.

3 Reasons for Reading the Pastor Stephen Grant Mysteries/Thrillers: The Three P’s of THE RIVER?

THE RIVER: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL warrants reading because of the three P’s...



• People. This fourth entry in the Pastor Stephen Grant series really ramps up the focus on the people closest to Stephen Grant, in particular, his wife, Jennifer, and his relationship with his old CIA partner, Paige Caldwell. For good measure, we meet Dixon Shaw, Jennifer’s father.

• Place. What happens in Las Vegas? Well, much of this exciting thriller/mystery does. And what happens in Vegas definitely does not stay in Vegas.

• Perspective. The perspective on THE RIVER includes an average of 4.3 stars out of 5 on Amazon, and Kirkus Reviews said, "The protagonist is the quintessential antihero: he's a good man respected by his peers ... but is infuriated by the evil of others. Grant may or may not kill before the story's finished, but he's unquestionably wrought with guilt over his murderous impulses. Action scenes flood the novel, particularly once Grant gets help from old CIA cohort Paige Caldwell, who comes complete with skills, weapons, and other men... A gritty, action-stuffed, well-considered thriller with a gun-toting clergyman."

An Extra P

Oh, wait, there’s another P involved – price. During January 2019, THE RIVER is the Book of the Month, and that means a big sale on signed books at https://raykeatingonline.com/t/book-of-the-month, and the price of Kindle editions has been slashed from $5.99 to only $2.99 at https://www.amazon.com/River-Pastor-Stephen-Grant-Novel-ebook/dp/B00KBXSGR0/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Pre-Order REAGAN COUNTRY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL for the Kindle

REAGAN COUNTRY will be published on May 10. Be among the very first to read this new thriller by pre-ordering the Kindle edition right now!

Pre-order at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C6J8RB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523760752&sr=8-1&keywords=Reagan+country+by+keating



What’s this latest exciting tale from award-winning novelist Ray Keating all about? From the book’s description…

Could President Ronald Reagan’s influence reach into the former “evil empire”? The media refers to a businessman on the rise as “Russia’s Reagan.” Unfortunately, others seek a return to the old ways, longing for Russia’s former “greatness.” The dispute becomes deadly. Conflict stretches from the Reagan Presidential Library in California to the White House to a Russian Orthodox monastery to the Kremlin. Stephen Grant, pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on Long Island, a former Navy SEAL and onetime CIA operative, stands at the center of the tumult. He is strengthened by his faith, wife, friends, and former CIA colleagues, and is armed with a Glock and Holy Scripture. Grant is the kind of guy that Reagan would have appreciated.
