Greater the waves, greater the Peace!
Like waves reshaping a coastline, our spiritual journeys move in divine rhythms of advance and retreat - some cleansing, some bringing new treasures, some carrying away debris. Waves can be gentle, barely touching our feet as we wade in the shallows of initial faith. Others are deeper swells that draw us into profound surrender, while transformative breakers reshape our entire spiritual landscape. Each wave of grace carries us further into the depths of God's Love, emerging from the same vast ocean of Mercy, that calls us ever deeper.
Life's rhythms don't come with GPS. When storms rise or calls to adventure beckon, we need more than surface-level advice. Whether through books or screenplays, MONK TALES charts a transformative journey deploying nautical metaphors to illuminate spiritual truths.

Fiction and nonfiction. Thrillers and mystery — both kinds. Monk writes for readers who aren't afraid of what they might find underneath. Two series anchor the collection: The Searcher follows Jax through art heists, ancient artifacts, and spiritual warfare disguised as adventure. Love Mercy Justice tackles faith head-on. Standalone works like The Great Longing and The Mirror Paradox go deeper still.
Monk writes for the screen the same way he writes for the page — faith colliding with the real world, questions that don't resolve cleanly, characters carrying weight they didn't ask for. The Searcher trilogy adapts the novels into a series built for feature films or streaming. Four standalones go their own directions: a mother-son love story disguised as sports drama, an unaging witness to global terror, miracles erupting in Alaska, and a Vietnam veteran dealing blackjack and guilt. Seven scripts. Various stages of development.

Three books. Three stolen objects. One woman haunted by a mission she can't outrun. Jax — ex-Marine Special Forces — chases a Rembrandt in Boston, a Mesopotamian figurine from Iraq to London, and a sacred relic through cartel territory on horseback. Each hunt takes her deeper into territory where faith isn't metaphor.

You've felt it your whole life.
That restlessness nothing satisfies. The hunger that remains after every achievement, every relationship, every attempt to name it or numb it. It keeps returning — patient, persistent, undefeated.
What if that ache is not a problem to be solved?

What if everything you believe about finding peace, strength, and freedom is backwards? The Mirror Paradox shatters life's distorting reflections through eleven transformative paradoxes - from peace emerging in storms to strength found in vulnerability, from freedom through surrender to discovering your True Self.

Three books. One journey home. Through the lens of the hero's journey, discover how God pursues each soul — with Love that calls you out, Mercy that meets you in the fall, and Justice that restores what was lost. A trilogy about shedding the false self and becoming who you were created to be.
