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.

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 12th 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 10thanniversary 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.”
