Grover Grumpy Pitman's new novel, Ancient of Days: Authors of All You Survey, has been released by Kravitz & Sons, offering a blend of investigative suspense and biblical subject matter. The work of fiction centers on Joel Braxton, a police officer whose routine investigations evolve into a complex narrative involving religious figures, historical references, and a broader conflict that challenges his understanding of events beyond conventional crime.
The story incorporates biblical passages and historical concepts as part of its narrative framework, referencing figures such as the Anti-Christ, prophecy, and religious symbolism alongside investigative sequences. This structure allows the plot to move between modern settings and longstanding theological questions, merging crime fiction with speculative and religious themes. According to the author, the novel was written to explore the intersection of faith, history, and suspense through fictional storytelling while presenting biblical concepts within the framework of a modern investigation.
Pitman, who uses the pen name Grover "Grumpy" Pitman, was born in Indiana and grew up as the second youngest of six siblings. He and his wife, Deborah, have been married for more than forty years and have one son, one daughter-in-law, and five grandchildren. His pen name originated from a nickname given to him by his grandchildren. Outside of writing, Pitman enjoys golfing, fishing, and praying—interests that influence the subjects explored in his fiction.
Ancient of Days: Authors of All You Survey is available through major online booksellers in print and digital formats. Kravitz & Sons, the publisher, describes itself as blending time-honored publishing expertise with innovative marketing strategies, founded by Kravitz, a seasoned author with three published books. The imprint refers to its younger business partners as "sons" due to the close-knit and supportive nature of the team.
