Welcome to marcschooley.com. I’m glad you’ve made it here, and you’re invited to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
THE INTERVIEW
Marcher Lord Press: Tell folks a bit about yourself, Marc.
Marc Schooley: I’m a Christian and a Texan (yes, in that order). I’ve spent years singing and playing a Les Paul, owned a used car lot for several years—I prefer the phrase “small business entrepreneur,” thank you.
I currently work in the space program in the Houston area. I love my family and going to church. I am nearly complete with my second Masters degree, which I hope to convert into a PhD if I can unearth the time.
Marcher Lord Press: What is your novel, in a nutshell?
Marc Schooley: It’s a bunch of paper bound together with words and stuff on it, but that’s not important right now.
It’s an adventure story with self-discovery written slightly beneath the line of appearance, which provides a hopefully fun and interesting vehicle to illustrate one or two deep theological truths of the Christian faith.
Marcher Lord Press: What's cool about your book? Why should I, a potential reader of your book, read it myself or buy a copy for someone I know?
THE LATEST BOOK
The Dark Man was the first novel acquired for the second release list of Marcher Lord Press. The story was so bizarre, so beautiful, and so well written that we said, "We have to publish this."
Charles Graves is a master of disguise working with the secret police to bring down the last remnants of 21st century Christianity.
Possessed of remarkable powers of disguise--and haunted by a mysterious talking wooden puzzle--Charles is the government's most potent weapon against these undesireables.
Charles effortlessly becomes other people, slipping into character like others step through a doorway. But what remains of Charles's own character is being pulled under by his accursed past. When he is not working a job, he is lost to alcohol and despair.
And then comes one more assignment. Take down the ringleader of the Christian cult holding forth from some secret quarter of militarized Houston.

Hebrews 5:11 ? 6:14 I’ve been asked my opinion on a passage in the book of Hebrews: Chapter 5:11 through Chapter 6:14. Here’s a verse by verse sketch of some quick thoughts on this excellent passage. “11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.” As always, the antecedent of the [...] Westman Bible Conference I’m a proud attendee of the first Westman Bible Conference, held in November of 2009. Westman, as I came to learn, does not indicate devotees of Adam West, rather it’s an abbreviation of West Manitoba, in Canada. It’s easily accessible from Winnipeg, and if you’re of a mind to conjoin a Winter getaway in one [...] Less real than we think, more real than we want? Those who define everything that exists as the natural haven’t told us anything of significance. I could just as easily define everything as hablabadaba. It would mean the same thing and deliver the same informational content. Customarily, the word natural is invoked to describe a realm of energy, space, time, and matter, and any other conceivable or [...] |
