Publisher: Covenant Books

What if the storm chasing you isn’t the one outside… but the one within?

Set in the shadow-soaked streets of New Orleans, Intercessor is a gripping faith-infused thriller that blends supernatural suspense with profound spiritual reflection.

Jim Hampton is a burned-out lawyer who walks away from his high-stakes career in search of peace. Drawn to the mystique of the Crescent City, he hopes distance will quiet his doubts and regrets. Instead, as a tropical storm intensifies into a devastating hurricane, Jim finds himself trapped in a far more dangerous tempest—one filled with demonic forces, divine intervention, and a battle for his soul.

Guided by the enigmatic bartender Myriam, Jim is forced to confront his lapsed Catholic faith amid blackouts, chases through the French Quarter, and encounters that defy logic and reason. As darkness closes in and evil tightens its grip, Jim must decide whether redemption is truly possible—or if some storms are meant to destroy.

Near the novel’s stunning climax, a miraculous event inspired by the legendary “dancing sun” at Fatima transforms terror into revelation, reminding readers that grace can break through even the deepest despair.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

● Faith-driven thrillers with spiritual depth
● Supernatural suspense rooted in real-world belief
● Stories of redemption, miracles, and personal awakening
● Atmospheric settings rich with culture and mystery

Intercessor is more than a thriller—it’s a powerful reminder that in life’s darkest moments, hope may arrive in ways we least expect.

👉 Pick up Intercessor today and discover how grace can guide you through the storm.

About the Author

John Robert Still is a lawyer based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the author of the faith-infused thriller Intercessor. Drawn to stories that explore suspense, spirituality, and the search for meaning, John writes fiction that wrestles honestly with faith, redemption, and the mysteries that shape our lives.

Intercessor is his debut novel, inspired by visits to New Orleans and a fascination with the city’s rich culture, history, and spiritual contrasts. His writing journey began as a deeply personal exploration of life’s harder questions—particularly around belief, purpose, and grace—and evolved over several years into a gripping supernatural thriller shaped by thoughtful revision and early reader feedback.

When he’s not practicing law or writing, John enjoys a wide range of hands-on pursuits, including beekeeping, bonsai cultivation, growing tobacco and rolling his own cigars, and cooking—especially Cajun and Creole cuisine. These passions reflect the same patience, craftsmanship, and respect for tradition that inform his storytelling.

Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?

For me, the hardest part of writing a book is always coming up with the idea for the story. It doesn’t matter if it is a picture book, chapter book series, or middle grade series.

What are your most played songs?

Oddly, I don’t listen to music when I am writing. I have a tendency to sing along if music is playing and cannot concentrate. I find it is easier for me to write to reruns of the TV show “Golden Girls.” The rhythm of their banter will help me to focus. I have seen all the shows in the series, so I don’t get caught up in the shows. For me, sound is used as background to help me focus and not to become a part of my writing.

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

I have selected friends I will send my manuscripts to or call and discuss my stories with as I’m writing. I Have used Net Gallery to get readers and reviews. I have belonged to several different critique groups throughout my writing career.

What book are you reading now?

Right now I am reading a cozy romcom. I like Ava Miles and Joanne Demaio to name a few cozy romcom writers.

How did you start your writing career?

I’ve always enjoyed writing. I began writing children’s picture books as a way to tell stories that I could relate to that might help children in the same type of situation.

Tell us about your next release.

My next release is Book 2, Just Look at Those Boots, in this series. It continues stories of A.J. and his horse Lady Star. It is another story from my father of something that happened to him and his horse.

Excerpt

Achieving Success

“The Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken.”

Psalms 16:8

I will probably never forget that evening over fourteen years ago. I sat on the edge of the bed in our bedroom having been released from my job of over twenty years. I was hurt and dejected for sure. But my wife entered the room and sat next to me. I figured she would be filled with anxiety and question how we were going to move forward as far as finances and family. She simply sat next to me, looked at me, and said the most unlikely thing. She said, “I’m glad this happened. I’m so happy and relieved.” I was shocked. I now was the one wanting to ask questions. First, “Are you crazy? Did you hear what I said? I’m no longer employed.” But she did hear me clearly and was genuine in her words to me.

I was both blindsided and blind. My family had been longing for me to make them a greater priority in my life. I thought that the dedication to my career and long hours away from them was my proof to them that they were just such a priority. But I was very wrong.

My wife said something to me that evening that I truly had to pause and reflect upon in order to believe. She said, “I’m glad this happened. Now we can make career decisions that allow you to spend more time with us as a family”. I explained to her that while that was a very kind and gracious thing to say, it did not provide the financial security or means to provide for our family.

She disagreed. She stated that I had spoken often about beginning a small business at some point. To her, it was no question; that time was now. We talked hours that evening about our family, our goals, and…..our faith in God. My wife reminded me that God is with us every step of our journey.

As I write this today, our small business turns thirteen years old, as our daughters turn eighteen and sixteen respectively. In addition, God added more blessings. My brother in law and best friend are both owners of this business as well. A crossroads decision based on faith, hope, love, and trust in God was made that night, thirteen years ago.

The world measures “success” in dollar signs and material wealth. I believe that God’s measure for us is far from that. We are called to serve, not be served. We are called to fellowship, worship, and spend time with those we love. God promises to provide what we “need” in our lives, not what we “want”. The irony in all of this is that when He opens our eyes to His guidance, we find that what we needed is truly what we wanted all along… Him…. Immanuel, God with us.

Father, your provision for us is amazing. It doesn’t always come in the form we expect, but it is enough. We thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Brian Greenfield
