FORTRESS BOOKS
"Reaching the world for Christ, one reader at a time."
Not only do I write Christian thrillers and family history, but I post monthly in my blog, my conservative Christian worldview related to current events and things going on in my life, family, faith, and career. As always, I'd be honored if you follow along.
In the book of Mark, the fifth chapter, Jesus expelled many demons from a man in the region of the Gadarenes. When Christ exorcised the demons, the man wanted to follow Jesus, but Jesus told him to go throughout his home cities and tell people his story. This story will follow the man named Lucius, from the time when he became cursed by demons, to his encounter with Jesus Christ, to his spontaneous ministry throughout the ten cities of the Decapolis. Get to know Lucius, his friends Levi and Darian, and perhaps even get to know the One they call Jesus, from a unique perspective. See how Jesus not only sets Lucius free, but helps three men realize who their true Master really is. Perhaps, readers can also connect the dots to other people in the Bible along the way.
Welcome to the website of Indie Author, Jason E. Fort. Please feel free to browse around. I began with my first Christian thriller, Misguided, back in 2014. Since then I've written seven other thrillers, all connected to the first one. I've also written a thriller inspired by the very law enforcement job that keeps the bills paid every day, and it is the first of a Small Town trilogy. I also self-published three books about my family history, as well as my blog posts from almost eight years of writing about the world around me. My latest story was first written using Amazon Vella, and has since become a book on Kindle, paperback, and hardcover. It is a Christian Historical fiction novella, based on events surrounding one of my favorite stories in the New Testament. I am also a pretty sociable fellow, and I would love for you to join my fan base, The Foundation. If that doesn't interest you, at least get to know what makes this author's mind tick, and visit my blog; lots of takes on my view and interpretation of the world - and I love comments (within reason). If you were looking for an author who writes stories about violence, action, mayhem, espionage, political intrigue, conspiracy, and thrilling adventures - you stopped at the right website. But my stories take on much more, and I challenge you, the potential readers, to dive into the stories and see what else you find. No matter how dark circumstances get in our world, my mission is to point to one particular Light that shines through the darkest of nights. Whether it's the Knox Mission, or one of the many miniseries yet to come, join me as I try to reveal a little light in the darkness. Below, you can find some highlighted features regarding books, and navigation menus for the rest of the site are at the top of this page. Thank you for stopping by - and God bless!
Small Town Target
This is the first book in the Small Town series.
Bennie Brookshire loves his job. After working with the city police, and being part of the K-9 team in Henderson County, his job as school resource officer was a breath of fresh air. But times change when he finds himself in the crosshairs of a dangerous mysterious local hit man - and he doesn't know why someone is out to kill him. In the cluster of small towns that help Bennie get a paycheck, dangerous plots are afoot, and Deputy Brookshire is just trying to survive. Local secrets and politics make the SRO a moving target throughout this cluster of small towns, and it's up to Bennie and his cohorts to get to the bottom of a sinister business venture - or Bennie and company might just find themselves down a deputy or two.
A book that tells the story of three men and their beginnings, and how God blessed their brotherhood, as well as their upbringing. We all had lives before we found our jobs, or callings, or built new families. This happens to be our story...a story of how three boys grew up to love each other for the brothers they are, and how differences between brothers can make them stronger. When you read about my life with my brothers, I don't want you to only see us, and the flawed human beings that we are. I want readers to see that despite those flaws, due to the way we were raised, and the weight our father placed on the importance of faith and family, we've formed bonds that are unbreakable. Even when those bonds were tested, God had a hand in how strong our brotherhood became. I hope and pray that others read our story, and think on their own relationships with their own brothers and sisters. Maybe it can stir a few of your own memories as you read mine.

WELCOME
MISGUIDED
The Knox Mission - The Jesus Assassin
What would you do if the people who mattered most were suddenly torn from you by radicals bent on nothing but violence against your very own beliefs? What if you had the means to carry out clandestine missions for the government, all the while using your resources to assassinate those who represent the very religion you hate? Would you refrain from such activity, or would you let vengeance lead the way, and be seen by the rest of the world to be Misguided? Join Agents John Knox and Beth White, along with Inspector Malik Sharif from Interpol, on a journey to catch the elusive Jesus Assassin - a term coined by the top media outlet in the world. Follow the investigators along, as they discover government secrets and coverups, along with family tragedy. See if they can catch the assassin, before someone else does.
"Guide Me I pray. We have enemies at our gates, and I need to rally the troops.Lord, help me have courage to bring these merciless killers to justice. Father, I don't just pray for justice for my mom and dad. I pray for justice to the enemy behind all such mindless and pointless acts of violence. I want to be a part of the flames that lick the feet of these sinners as they descend into Hell."
Written words of prayer from the Jesus Assassin
The suspense of phenomenal character development revelations and anticipation of unveiling hidden circumstances, make this book simply impossible to put down!
---Anonymous Review from Amazon.com
Enjoyed having good characters who made me care for each of them, even Brady because of his losses! Had good presentation of good versus evil as well as why one's beliefs can be good or evil in certain situations. Can't wait to see what John and Malik are up to next and enjoyed some "local" color since I live in North Carolina and visit Greenville, SC often. Good book!!

This personal memoir lets readers follow the author's journey through the past, as he reminisces good times and hard times spent with the two greatest friends he ever had. But this memoir is more than just an author's recollection of memories of his grandmothers. As you join 'Officer Fort' on a tour through some of his favorite memories of Nannie and Granny, perhaps you will see how these two women put God first, and helped steer a young man's life to a career in law enforcement. As you turn the pages, perhaps you will also remember friends or family that shaped your life. This memoir is sure to touch your soul, and at least help you appreciate friends and family. But the author hopes you also see how both admirable women helped him keep his eyes on God. God gave us all our beloved friends and family. It is up to each of us to keep their memories alive, even if that means just living our lives the way their influence taught us. It's almost as if God planned it that way.

My review for a fellow officer's tale of a career as an undercover narcotics officer: "Grounsell introduces the general public to the underworld of the illegal drug trade, and shows just how dangerous and stressful the job of an undercover cop can get. If you want action and adrenaline, with plenty of details and reason given behind what undercover narcotics officers do, and the stress they put themselves under, then you need to get Keith Grounsell's A Narc's Tale, TODAY. This is just the first of four volumes, and I can't wait to read more!"-----Click on the pic to buy his book!
