New Edition of Warrior Monk - The First Thriller from Award-Winning Novelist Ray Keating

MANORVILLE, N.Y. - Jan. 31, 2019 - PRLog -- Long Island, NY – Stephen Grant, pastor at St. Mary's Lutheran Church on Long Island, former Navy SEAL and onetime CIA operative, came on the thriller/mystery scene in Warrior Monk: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel. This book by award-winning novelist Ray Keating has received accolades from reviewers and readers, and now the second edition has arrived with a new Author Introduction and Epilogue.

In Warrior Monk, Grant has been living a far different, relatively quiet life as a pastor. However, a shooting at his church, a historic papal proposal, and threats to the pope's life mean that Grant's former and current lives collide. Grant must tap the varied skills learned as a government agent, a theologian and a pastor not only to protect the pope, but also to find his way through a minefield of personal challenges.

In the new Introduction, Keating answers an assortment of questions about the book and writing, while the new Epilogue provides a glimpse of an upcoming Pastor Stephen Grant novel.

The second edition of Warrior Monk comes after the tenth Pastor Stephen Grant adventure, Shifting Sands: A Pastor Stephen Grant Short Story, was published in November 2018.

About Keating's Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers and mysteries, one reviewer declared, "Skillful in plot and description, Keating paints three-dimensional and interestingly different locations and crimes in each book. He has a writerly gift for making the action crisp. Keating researches his settings, too."

In addition, a new edition of A Discussion Guide to Ray Keating's Warrior Monk has been published, which also is available at Amazon.com and signed books at RayKeatingOnline.com.
