When the system that time forgot suddenly shows back up...

The Cipher ran the universe with its game-like rules, and it has chosen Cullen, an exiled bounty hunter, to be the method of its return.

He's given a quest to free a telepathic mother and son from wrongful imprisonment. If he can break his targets out of prison, they'll have to level up, learn new skills, and hunt down the prophecy's clues. All while facing down berserkers and EMP-hurling tigers, in a jungle that offers no succor.

The promised reward is that the Cipher will grant access and the associated power to all of his embattled people, turning the tide in the galactic war that's ravaging the cosmos.

The Ciphercraft series is influenced by party-building, multi-class RPG games like Final Fantasy, town builders like Age of Empires, and a mashup of classic novels like Dune and Dragonlance. Inside you'll experience a story of hope-filled, dog-tough adventurers gaining extraordinary powers right when their people need them the most.

With one book left to complete this epic tale, there is no better time than now to start reading. Portal Wars is coming soon.

Reviews:

Cipher's Quest (Book 1)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Fell in headfirst. The world is deep and kept building. Some readers in this genre like less world-building, but I'm crazy for it. Had a Dune like feel to it, pushing sci-fi and fantasy together." - TJ Reynolds, author of Eternal Online

Windwalker (Book 2)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"This is a great series with great characters and a unique storyline that keeps you interested throughout. Looking forward to book 3!" - Cody Whitfill, author of Clearing Waves

Resurrection City (Book 3)

The unsuspecting town of Whittenville, nestled in the scenic mountains of New England, once had everything going for it. But now, the winds have changed; sin has become rampant and drug dealers rule.

Dark powers lurking in the shadows threaten to destroy anyone standing in the way of their plans. The evil hits its mark when the police discover Jim with a smoking gun in his hand and the body of a church member on the floor.

Victory seems impossible, but with God’s power made accessible to them, they just might be able to reclaim the battlefield. But will it be enough to win the war?

From the Foreword

If anyone understands spiritual warfare, it’s Pastor J. Henry Watson.

In this compelling supernatural thriller, he weaves together his real life experiences and keen spiritual insights into a non-stop legal battle centered around a small New England congregation. From the opening pages, the reader is swept up into the mystery and suspense as a team of dedicated Christians work together to solve a puzzling case of attempted murder.

Buckle up for a “can’t put it down” roller-coaster ride featuring plot twists, surprising suspects and unlikely heroes. With each turn of the page, you’ll not only be entertained but inspired by the power of prayer and the value of friendship.

I’ve been privileged to know J. Henry and his wife Kristin for several years. I have witnessed their faith under fire, and their tremendous courage in the face of tragedy. When J. Henry writes about the challenges of the pastorate, local politics and the legal system, he draws from a deep well of both pain and purpose.

Anyone who enjoys reading Christian fiction books will love this “courtroom drama meets supernatural thriller.” I highly recommend to you both the message and the messenger.

Everyone thinks Poppy Kyle is naturally happy and positive. But it took a major tragedy in her life for her to overcome her natural negative tendencies and develop a happiness attitude. She will not allow the surly West Barclay to steal her joy.

After West Barclay lost his parents in a car accident, he spent some time in foster care. Unfortunately, he fell in with the wrong crowd and saw just how rotten life can be. He still carries the scars. Poppy, with her perpetual smile and positive attitude irritates him to no end.

He couldn’t think of a person he would be less inclined to be snowed in with.

So, of course it was Poppy who had delivered the church’s supper to his ranch when the Snowstorm of the Century hit, closing down all roads and stranding two people who can barely stand each other together for a week.

Is it possible that they will see beyond their surface irritations and fall in love?

★★★★★ "Jesse does it again. Another soul reaching book that takes you through the heartbreak of life and the hope and love that is found in the ashes." - Supermom

★★★★★ "Jessie can bring grace and love and hope to the most dismal situations. You never finish one of her books without feeling uplifted and smiling. Her humorous takes on everyday situations in life are spot on and helps you get over the tough parts of life happening in her stories." - Wren

★★★★★ "This is a lovely story of life, loss, and having faith in yourself when you feel all is crashing around. This is a standalone story, but it is interwoven in the lives of a family built from heartache and through their faith in the Lord. This is one of those series you fall in love with over and over." - GreenJeepMom

★★★★★ "I'm feeling all kinds of feelings. Joy, peace, heartache, silliness, giddiness, so much love. I'm feeling them all. I'm wrapped up in love. And I'm sad. And I'm happy.

A midnight tryst, an unknown admirer and a baby that is delivered to church with just a short note.

On the day Deacon Hudson was set to be ordained, a bundle shows up at the church with a simple note on it. Deacon Hudson is the father. Take care of her.

Deacon knows he’s not the father. The Immaculate Conception was a one time thing. But the baby needs a parent, and he has to decide if he will give up his life dream of being a pastor to take the child, despite the fact that the note is a lie. Can he do it without resenting the child?

Blair Dixon made an unthinkable decision and sacrifice, driven by the unfathomable love a mother has for her child.

She served her time. Now she’s back to fix the mess she made.

It might not be possible to straighten everything out.

It’s definitely not possible for her to get everything she wants – the best everything for her daughter and the love of the cowboy she chose to be the father.

But small town gossip can be vicious, and unless she comes up with a plan, she could ruin his life a second time.

After what she’d done, love was impossible. Or was it?

Rescued from the edge of a cliff, the only choice left for Isabelle is a true leap of faith.

After the devestating loss of her mother, Isabelle Chevalier is determined to end her life when a stranger talks her off the ledge. She finds comfort in his kindness, and they share a strong connection. Isabelle, a non-believer, soon realizes this stranger is a childhood friend, Peter Stephens, whom she hasn’t seen since they were young. Peter is a man of strong Christian faith, despite having endured abuse at the hands of a Christian sect. Opposing beliefs don’t hinder their rekindling friendship—or their budding romance.

In spite of their attachment, separate family obstacles demand their attention. Peter’s past resurfaces when his sister returns from the very cult he escaped as a teenager. Isabelle’s father and maternal family are divided by differences in religion and clash over her mother’s recent death. During all of this, Isabelle fears her own beliefs and finds herself drawn to Peter.

Is it the Spirit of God that calls to Isabelle Chevalier, or is her obsession with Peter Stephens?



The Truth About Regret is a faith-filled, Christian romance where two childhood sweethearts have a second chance romance and a spirited young woman falls in love with God.

There’s something about a small town that whispers romance.

Perhaps it’s the night sky chuck full of stars that are undiluted by city lights.

Or, maybe it’s the history couples share growing up that makes love that much sweeter.

Perhaps it’s the slower pace, where love weaves itself into the fabric of laughter, heartbreak, hard times, and rocking on the front porch.

Whatever it is, it’s magical and I’m thrilled to share it with you in this new collection of small town romances.

Christians who fantasize about going back in time to witness the miracles of Jesus will enjoy the realistic depiction of life in ancient Israel as experienced from a 21st century mentality.

This novel is the sequel to The Class of 86, in which Jake Simon is the protagonist. Todd, the antagonist in The Class of 86, becomes the protagonist in The Gospel According to Todd.
