But God can take ordinary people and use them in extraordinary ways. He can take someone who feels unprepared and make them an answer. He can take someone who feels weak and use them to strengthen others. He can take someone who is still growing and place them in a moment where their obedience becomes somebody else’s miracle.

That truth runs deeply through S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™: The Angelo™ & Angeline™ Chronicles. Kevin Edwards and Juanita Grayson do not begin their journey fully understanding who they are. They do not step into Dark Earth with complete confidence, perfect training or a clear understanding of the weight of their assignment. They are young, uncertain, afraid and still carrying the emotional wounds of their own world. Yet darkness already sees them as a th

That is one of the deepest spiritual truths running through S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™: The Angelo™ & Angeline™ Chronicles. The darkness in these books does not only attack bodies, cities and worlds. It attacks identity. It attacks memory. It attacks the wounds people carry. It tries to turn pain into poison.

He wants to save people, but he also wants to be seen, respected and remembered for the sacrifices he made long before anyone else arrived.

Created in 1980 during a time when female superheroes were still fighting for equal footing in the comic book world, She-Hulk became something revolutionary. She wasn’t just another superhero with powers. She was a lawyer, a leader, a thinker, and a woman fully comfortable with who she was. And that is exactly why she is the perfect superhero to highlight on the 7th day of Women’s History Month.

In Chapter 1 of Book I of S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™, we meet Jeff, also known as "Jeff: Ward of Law," dangling from the side of a demonic fortress, surrounded by dense fog and darkness. With only a whisper from his mentor, Wiseman J, and the static of a failing connection, Jeff must press on. He doesn’t have all the answers. He doesn’t even have a clear path forward. But he has a mission, and more importantly, he has faith.

On the 16th day of International Black Women’s History Month, we don’t just honor strength, resilience, or success—we confront what threatens to destroy it.
