Standing Firm in a Fallen World: A Double Release Celebration

Dear friends,

Today marks a milestone I’ve been working toward for quite some time—and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

My new pulp-noir thriller, Children of the Black Veil, is officially released! This book has been years in the making, drawing together my love of gritty storytelling, theological reflection, and the stark, unflinching worlds of classic noir. Set in Chandler City, it’s a tale where faith collides with corruption, and truth is forced to fight its way through shadows and lies. If you’ve been following my work, you know this story is more than just a crime novel—it’s a confrontation with darkness, written with the conviction that even the deepest night cannot overcome the light of Christ.

This release is not just about one book, though. It’s also about building a community of readers and believers who care about stories that matter. That’s why I’m introducing something new here on Substack:

A Free Ebook for New Subscribers

Beginning today, all new subscribers will receive a free copy of my ebook Faith, Fiction, and the Fight. This short volume brings together the themes that drive everything I write: standing firm in Christ, recognizing the spiritual battle woven into our world, and understanding how storytelling itself can be a tool of faith and truth.

But here’s the part I’m most excited about: you, my current subscribers, get it first. Many of you signed up when this ebook was still in development, showing your support for my work long before it was ready. Because of that, I want to give you direct access to it today. Consider it a small thank you for your encouragement, prayers, and readership. You should have gotten the email by now, and if you haven’t, please reach out to me.

Why These Books Matter Together

Children of the Black Veil explores the fight in the streets—the way evil hides in plain sight, dressed in respectability and power. Faith, Fiction, and the Fight reflects on the deeper spiritual reality beneath those struggles. One is pulp fiction. The other is theological meditation. But together, they tell the same truth: we live in a world at war, and yet we have a sure foundation in Christ.

My prayer is that readers of both works will come away not only entertained, but also equipped. Stories are never “just stories.” They shape how we see the world, how we wrestle with truth and lies, and how we recognize the need for grace.

Thank You

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your subscription, your reading, your comments—they all make this work possible. I don’t take it for granted. Each of you is a reminder that there are Christians (and seekers of truth) hungry for substance, not shallow answers. Together, we are proving that faith and art do not need to be separated—that pulp can still carry weight, and that the Word of God still breaks through in the most unexpected places.

So here’s to a double celebration:

• The launch of Children of the Black Veil—now available in Kindle and Paperback.
• The gift of Faith, Fiction, and the Fight—free to all new subscribers, and available today for you who have been here from the beginning.

Godspeed, friends. The fight is real, but so is the victory.

In Christ,
Rev. Brandon Warr
