M.D. House
Friday and Saturday Mass Book and Media Signing Table
Multi-genre Fiction Author and Speaker
The Barabbas Trilogy + Sophia spin-off (Biblical historical fiction), The Servant of Helaman and Amulek:Revenant (Book of Mormon historical fiction), The Patriot Star series (clean epic science fiction), with epic fantasy coming soon
Always wonderful to connect with new people!(click to expand)
In late 2020, I semi-retired from a successful career in Corporate Finance and Business Leadership that allowed me to experience all facets of designing, producing, marketing and selling products to customers across the world. I enjoyed that career, and still consult part-time, but being able to pursue my passion for creative writing has been a tremendous blessing.
Many years ago, while writing on a very limited basis, I came within a hair’s breadth of getting a science fiction novel traditionally published. Since embarking on my new journey with much more time and focus, I’ve published that book and a sequel, along with six religious historical fiction novels (which were a surprise to me). I’m starting to get some award recognition, along with a favorable review from Kirkus Reviews for The Servant of Helaman, a spy thriller and the first book I submitted to them.
My docket is filled with new projects, including my first fantasy novel, titled Crossroads of Sundering Memory; a screenplay for The Servant of Helaman (and likely another for I Was Called Barabbas); and the sequel to The Servant of Helaman. After that comes volume three of the Patriot Star epic sci-fi series.
You can learn more about me, including interviews with people like Eric Metaxas, Tricia Goyer, and Dr. Paul Reeves, at mdhouselive.com.
