What is your favorite quote, by whom, and why?

William Shakespeare.

Macbeth.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,/Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,/

To the last syllable of recorded time;/And all our yesterdays have lighted fools/
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!/Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,/That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,/And then is heard no more. It is a tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/Signifying nothing.

This quote reminds me to stay focused on today.

Many people live their lives past-present and are bound by perceived failures, missed opportunities, and a litany of reasons why their lives are unfulfilling and disjointed.  When we live present-future, this is where God meets us, comes alive in us, and expresses Himself through us to everyone we come into contact with.  He has plans and purposes for us that we cannot even imagine. His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts, and He promises us that if we love Him and keep His commands, He will manifest Himself to us. When we yield ourselves to Him and allow Him to order our steps on a daily basis, we cannot help but fulfill our destiny.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

Ethan Freeman, ex-Special Forces Ranger, wakes up to discover he is the sole survivor of a fiery commercial airline crash that killed his entire family.  His nightmare is only beginning when he becomes the FBI’s prime suspect.  Only Ethan knows he’s not a cold-hearted murderer, but he has no idea what happened to him–and why he alone survived.

He finds an unlikely ally in Sam Weaver, the NTSB Chief Investigator.  An ex-military pilot, Sam senses Ethan is innocent.  She tries to remain dispassionate in her investigation of the crash even as she finds herself attracted to the man who may be America=s worst homegrown mass-murderer.

Neither Ethan nor Sam realize that shadowy spiritual forces are at work which will alter their lives forever.

A monstrous evil, imprisoned since the time of the Pharaohs, has been released by The

Nine, a sinister group of powerful men and women who believe they are the direct descendants of the Anunnaki, ancient Sumerian gods. The demon they have unleashed intends to free The Destroyer from The Abyss, the angelic prison referred to in the Book of Revelation, and unleash a worldwide reign of terror and annihilation.

Facing impossible odds, time is running out for Ethan and all of humanity as he is drawn

into an ever-deeper  conspiracy–millennia in the making–and learns that he is the key to stopping The Nine.

How did you come up with the title?

It comes from a quote by John Milton from Paradise Lost:

With impetuous recoil and jarring sound/Th’ infernal doors, and on their hinges grate

Harsh thunder, that the lowest bottom shook/Of Erebus.  She opened, but to shut

Excelled her power; the gates wide open stood

The imagery is that of Satan wanting to break free from the prison he has been consigned to so that he can continue his rule and reign on the Earth, torment mankind, and fulfill what he considers to be his destiny:  replacing God as the god among men.
