My name is Ben Ransom.

Cop. Christian. Coffee Connoisseur. Communicator. 

(Yes, I tried to think of a clever C-word for “writer”—but let’s move on.) 

Whether you’re here to grow in your craft, be encouraged in your calling, get to know me as an author, laugh at a few ridiculous police anecdotes, be inspired by God’s faithfulness, or just pull a better shot of espresso—I’m glad you’re here. 

For My Readers 

I write Christian YA supernatural fiction with a reader-first mentality. After more than a decade in law enforcement, I’ll admit—most police procedurals and FBI thrillers struggle to hold my attention. But give that cop a flaming sword, or that agent the supernatural ability to slow time… now we’re getting somewhere. 

That desire to fuse real-world experience with the very real presence of supernatural forces—both Good and Evil—is what compels me to write. 

This is fiction that doesn’t flinch. 

Whether you’re reading my blog, following along on social media, or diving into my novels, you’re in good hands—with safe, God-honoring content crafted to encourage, edify, and above all, entertain. 

My promise to you? No preachy prose. No cringeworthy dialogue. Just compelling characters and powerful stories told from a biblical worldview. 

For My Fellow Writers 

Over the past 15 years, I’ve grown from a hobbyist to a dedicated writer, taking a spark of an idea and crafting it into a 100,000-word manuscript. This blog is here to share the things I’ve learned along the way—and the things I’m still learning—as a fledgling in this industry on the road to publication. 

As a follower of Jesus, I believe every story has a purpose, and every talent is a gift. This blog is about using those gifts—especially the gift of story—to entertain, encourage, and point people toward something greater. Someone greater. 

Whether through action, humor, heartbreak, or hope, we write for the glory of God and the edification of our readers. 

But to reach our readers effectively, we must write well. 

So grab a cup of your favorite brew, make yourself comfortable, and join me as we dive in. I’m excited to walk this path with you—one post at a time.
