I’m Kyle Pratt and Through Many Fires, A Time to Endure, and Braving the Storms are books in my most popular series.
The Final Duty audio book was produced with the help of my sons, James and Robert
Sitting in my dining room on a cold winter day signing books for fans.
The first copy of a new book.

What would happen if, in an instant, the lights went out—not just in your town, but across the entire world? No phones. No internet. No electricity. That chilling possibility lies at the heart of my Solar Storms Saga books, and it isn’t just fiction. It’s a very real threat. You may have heard such solar events referred to as an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP. Such bursts of energy can disable electronics world-wide and they come in two forms.
Is violence the new ballot box? Is murder now the cost of speaking out? Americans must not let it be.
As I write these words, Charlie Kirk—a Christian husband with two small children and founder of Turning Point USA—has just been assassinated. Charlie was known for using logic, facts, and persuasion to challenge the closed minds of college professors and their students. That boldness probably cost him his life. I never met the man, but like many, I followed him and his organization on social media. I admired his courage, wit, and rhetorical skill.
The older I get, the more I marvel at technological advances. I wasn’t even two years old when, in October of 1957, the Soviets launched a small satellite and started the race to space. Now we’ve landed astronauts on the moon, and about 10,000 satellites orbit above us. However, for me, the greatest leap forward in technology is the Internet. Without it, I wouldn’t be an author or business owner, and my latest project would be impossible.

Every time I complete a manuscript, I need beta readers—and people often ask me, “What is a beta reader?”
In the general sense, a beta reader is a test reader of an unreleased book. They provide feedback to the author from the perspective of an average reader. A good beta reader offers an unbiased opinion on plot, pacing, consistency, and character development. This helps the author identify and fix issues before the work is published. Unlike an editor, who focuses on sentence-level corrections, a beta reader gives feedback on the overall story and its emotional impact.
