How Titus Ray Began
Luana Ehrlich, a former missionary and minister’s wife, crafted the Titus Ray series after her husband retired from the pastorate. Inspired by her love for spy thrillers and her experiences abroad in places like Costa Rica and Venezuela, Ehrlich created Titus, a battle-hardened CIA veteran. Her passion for suspense and faith-driven storytelling shines through, offering a fresh take on the espionage genre with a Christian perspective. From her undisclosed writing hideout, Ehrlich has built a loyal following since the series debuted in 2014.
The Heart of Titus Ray
The series kicks off with One Night in Tehran, where Titus, on the run from Iran’s secret police, finds refuge with Iranian Christians who spark his spiritual awakening. This sets the stage for his dual battles: outsmarting enemies and exploring his fledgling faith. In Two Days in Caracas, Titus hunts a Hezbollah assassin in Venezuela, juggling a family crisis and a rookie operative. Three Weeks in Washington sees him thwarting a terrorist plot, while Four Months in Cuba dives into a high-stakes rescue mission.
Themes of redemption, trust, and moral dilemmas anchor the series, set against vivid backdrops like Tehran, Caracas, and Havana. Ehrlich’s clean, fast-paced style balances gritty espionage with humor, romance (hello, Nikki Saxon!), and Titus’s spiritual growth, making each book a standalone yet interconnected adventure. A dog named Stormy adds a dash of charm to the mix!
