D. I. (David) Telbat is a Christian author best known for his clean, Suspenseful Fiction with a Faith Focus, which includes his bestseller and award-winning COIL Series, Steadfast Series, and several other suspense and End Times novels. He wrote his first book at age 14, and hasn't stopped since!
Through David's weekly D.I. Telbat Newsletter, he provides free Christian short stories, or his Author Reflections, or his novel news. Many of D.I. Telbat's stories are about persecuted Christians—their sacrifice, suffering, and rescues.
Getting into trouble with the law as a young man became a turning point in David's life. The Lord used that experience to draw David into a personal relationship with Him. Re-focusing his life for Christ, David now seeks to honor God with his life and his writing.
David studied writing in college, and worked for a time in the newspaper field, but he is now doing what he loves most--writing and Christian ministry. When not busy writing Christian novels, you will find him teaching/preaching/discipling, and writing curriculum for Christians in the prison system.
Though D.I. Telbat is currently living on the West Coast, he has kept his home office in the Northwest U.S. where his assistant, Dee, lives and helps with his research and editing needs.
There is no redemption without sacrifice.
