A lost scroll. A deadly secret. A race across the Middle East—where every clue could be fatal…

The Copper Scroll follows historian Joshua “Masa” Bennett as he journeys into the heart of the Middle East in an attempt to unlock the secrets hidden within the legendary Copper Scroll. Just as he begins making progress, disturbing warnings and shadowy sightings reveal that other powerful forces are also closing in: Templars, ISIS operatives, and government intelligence groups, each hiding their own motives for uncovering what the scroll may reveal.

Drawn deeper into a world of danger, deception, and spiritual tension, Masa must navigate hostile territory, shifting alliances, and a truth far more explosive than he ever imagined. As past and present violently intersect, he realizes the stakes extend far beyond archaeology, the secrets of the Copper Scroll could alter geopolitical power and shake the foundations of faith itself.

A blend of international suspense, ancient mystery, and truths long buried beneath history, The Copper Scroll delivers a gripping thriller for fans of Joel Rosenberg, Dan Brown, and archaeological adventure stories rooted in real-world intrigue.

╰┈➤Here’s What Readers Have To Say!

“The Copper Scroll: Masa Chronicles, authored by Nicholas Teeguarden, is extraordinary piece of literature that has made a significant impact on me. The last time I felt this level of excitement about a book was while reading the Bible for the first time, a bold comparison, but one that underscores the author’s exceptional God given talent!” – Louise Jane, CEO The Christlit Book Award

“The Copper Scroll is more of a quest for truth than a treasure hunt. I recommend this book to lovers of historical books with a bit of danger, and it put me in the mood to find out about Qumran myself.” – Mary Clarke for Readers Favorite

I’d recommend The Copper Scroll to anyone who enjoys historical mysteries wrapped in modern storytelling. If you like a blend of Indiana Jones energy with a more thoughtful, personal core, this book will hit the right notes. It would appeal to readers curious about archaeology, faith, or just a good chase story where the stakes feel both grand and intimate. It left me thoughtful, a little breathless, and eager to see where Masa’s journey goes next. -Literary Titan

Excerpt:

Joshua “Masa” Bennett hummed the Villines Trio’s familiar refrain, “I’m going all the way, I made up my mind…” as he drove toward the University of Arkansas. The song, a staple from his Lincoln church, bookended his commute, its quiet grace a lifeline since his Army days tromping biblical lands. No atheists in foxholes, they say, and Masa carried that faith into civilian life, fueling his master’s in archaeology. Today felt routine, just another class, but a spark flickered beneath it, a path to mysteries buried for centuries, secrets that could shake faith’s foundations. The lecture hall buzzed with late-afternoon chaos. High ceilings arched overhead, intricate moldings catching golden light through tall, narrow windows. Dust motes danced in the beams, stirred by restless students shifting in tiered rows of scarred desks with etched initials, coffee rings, and doodles of bored minds. Chalk dust bit the air, mingling with the musty scent of old books and the hum of flickering fluorescents. At the front, Professor Thaddeus Luke commanded the room, his wiry frame dwarfed by a blackboard scrawled with frantic chalk lines and gray hair flaring like a storm cloud as his voice boomed with passion.

Joshua sat near the back, his lean frame hunched over a desk that creaked under his weight. His leather backpack, a frayed relic from his grandfather’s desert-wandering days, slumped against his leg like a loyal dog. Dark hair fell into his eyes as he scribbled furiously in a notebook already thick with ink: sketches of jagged cave mouths, snatches of Hebrew script, arrows darting between wild theories. Around him, classmates slumped in their seats, some doodling aimlessly, others sneaking glances at their phones beneath the desks. A girl two rows ahead twisted a strand of blonde hair around her finger, whispering to her neighbor with a smirk. Joshua barely noticed. His world was the blackboard, the professor’s words, the tantalizing riddle unfolding before him.

Professor Luke’s chalk scratched against the board as he recited from the Copper Scroll, his tone reverent yet edged with excitement. “Item four: ‘In the cave of the pillar that is in the valley of Achor, which is near the house of the washer, dig three cubits: there are twenty-two talents of silver.’” He paused, turning to face the room, his eyes glinting behind wire-rimmed glasses. “Discovered in cave three at Qumran in 1952, this scroll stands apart from the Dead Sea manuscripts. Sixty-four locations, each a cryptic promise of treasure, not scripture, not prophecy, but a map. A cipher waiting to be cracked.”

Interview with Nicholas Teeguarden

Can you tell us a little about yourself? Are you a full-time author?

I’m a husband, dad, and U.S. Army veteran who now writes faith‑infused thrillers from small‑town Oklahoma.

I’m not a full‑time author yet, but writing takes up a big part of my life alongside family and church; it’s where I process faith, questions, and some of what I carried home from deployment.

Can you tell us about The Copper Scroll?

The Copper Scroll is an archaeological thriller about Joshua “Masa” Bennett, an American veteran and grad student who travels to Jordan to study the most mysterious of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

What starts as a quest for academic glory turns into a dangerous chase from Qumran to Masada to Capernaum, as Joshua’s team uncovers artifacts that could reshape how people understand Jesus — and draws the attention of ISIS, modern Templars, Mossad, and church power brokers who all have something to lose.

Can you tell us a little about the characters?

Joshua “Masa” Bennett is driven by faith, trauma from his Army years, and his grandfather’s old stories about hidden treasures and scrolls; he’s brave, curious, and sometimes reckless.

Alongside him are Noa, a sharp and guarded Israeli researcher, and Amina, a determined Palestinian journalist; together with figures like Father Nance and Rabbi Cohen, they’re forced into fragile alliances across deep historical divides as the danger escalates.

Where is this book set and why did you choose that location?

The Copper Scroll is set in the modern Middle East — Amman and the Jordan Museum, then into the Judean desert at Qumran, Masada, the Dead Sea, and Capernaum — anchored by Joshua’s start at the University of Arkansas.

I chose those locations because they’re the real landscapes of the Copper Scroll, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Gospels, and I wanted readers to feel like they were walking those sites themselves as the mystery unfolds.

How can people benefit from reading The Copper Scroll?

On the surface, readers get a fast‑paced treasure‑hunt thriller, but beneath that they’re invited to wrestle with the tension between faith and proof: what we do when new evidence presses on old beliefs.

I also hope it nudges people to see the Middle East — and the believers, skeptics, Israelis, Palestinians, and local communities who live there — as real neighbors with complex stories, not just as background to the nightly news.

Is The Copper Scroll your only book?

So far. The Copper Scroll is the first book in The Masa Chronicles, and I’m currently about halfway through book two.

What’s next for you?

Next up is the release of my new novel, The Boy from the Vines, planned for next month.

At the same time, I’m drafting the second Masa Chronicles novel, continuing Joshua’s journey as he deals with the fallout from The Copper Scroll and stumbles into a new set of historical and spiritual fault lines.

Historical Fiction

Date Published: March 12th

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

William Sukara, a gregarious dreamer, emerges from the 1950s an estranged son. In divorce debt and with limited visitation rights as a father, he searches for order in failure. Pursuing self-discipline as an answer, he enlists in the Navy, volunteers for underwater demolition team training, and survives the elite course.

With five other team members, he raises his hand for a clandestine mission, knowing only that it's a “hundred day operation in a warm climate." They are led by a mysterious civilian who alludes that their authorization comes from the Oval Office, and they are to operate with extreme malice. They revolt, escaping under bizarre circumstances.

The Helmsman of Anthesis is a raw, close to the nerve, psychological thriller about a mission gone wantonly mad.

Excerpt:

They listened to what they knew was coming—they were here to kill people. The starkness still came as an abominable commission, a heart in ice. They stared at a cartographer’s depiction of where two peasant nations met along a broad maze. The vague wilderness, a nameless swamp, could be covered with one hand. But in their overwhelmed minds it was a distant planet, a place where they were to do unimaginable things. In varying degrees, they tried to get past the moral shock, the yuk factor, or set it aside.

Yet there was something else realized, barely discernible, only subliminally noted. Or maybe, even forbidden to recognize, a sensation of heady sway, they didn’t analyze the feeling couched in the Kemo’s rote. His sweeping authorization, romanced with user-friendly history, vouchsafed by a homeland frolicking in certainty, with an omniscient overseer taking notes, won their high ground. For the only creature that existence is a question, they were handed a prepared answer, suitable for eternal framing.

Erickson rolled on, “In a remote possibility, what are you to do if you are sure people have come ashore? If you decide to leave your tree position, I want you to take two items with you. Unlatch the infrared unit and store it in your empty pack. Pull the bolt out of the rifle and secure it in a separate pouch. You may be in a hurry but check that the flaps are buckled up. Leave everything else.”

For a covert operation, somewhere between notional and nascent, his detailing was like a veteran Scout Master’s tenth summer camp. “With your pack on, descend, pulling the line down, take it with you for a way. Find the string you tied when you arrived, to the opposite side of the island.”

With meticulous visualizing, he finished how an escape would play out. “Once at the water’s edge, swim across to the next island. If you think it’s necessary, find your way across and swim to the next piece of land. I don’t foresee someone trying to follow you; remember, you still have your sidearm on your belt and three clips of ammo.”

Reassuringly, he tacked on, “You’ll have more problems with mosquitoes than with some barefoot fool trying to find you in the dark. After that, stay put, we’ll find you in the morning. You’ll hear the boat’s engines or horn. Use your whistle to help locate you.”

There it was, after five weeks of exclusion from a scheme, they were now privy to a grand mal of excitement. They never imagined this sobering now, as the night never suspects what day brings. Suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle came together; they were elevated to the inner sanctum, they were lofty.

A zephyr blurred the mirroring river, gently squeezing Apollyon against her rubber fenders with a moaning lament. Air flowed through the doorways and ports, unnoticed by a circle of conspirators.

Searching faces, Erickson said, “Any questions so far?”

One after another, he fended off what-if inquiries. His responses confirmed whoever claimed genesis for their plan had considered every possible hiccup.

“Keep your repellent in your pocket. If you have to swim, you can reapply later.”

“You’ll have a plastic bottle to pee in, so you don’t smell up the area under your position.”

“You’ll take a pill that will keep you alert all night.”

As the Q&A slowed, Valdes queried their leader’s sudden openness, “Why all this super secrecy? We’re all cleared to hug an atomic bomb.”

Up to then, his answers to their questions had been returned with ping-pong responses, but now he delayed. Gazing out the doorway into their sylvan seclusion, he momentarily drifted away.

Then he turned to Sukara, saying, “You once asked if the president knew about this operation.” Glancing at the others, he offered a hypothesis. “Well, let’s just say . . . if . . . he and a tight inner circle of advisers know. And . . . if . . . he authorized this and other covert assistance, and . . . if . . . he ordered he was to be kept abreast of all operations. Allowing all these ifs, then his exposure to introducing U.S. military personnel into an offensive role with a sovereign country without any clear and present danger could put him in an awkward position. It would be politically suicidal, both domestically and geopolitically. Congress could view the president’s actions as an impeachable offense. As I’ve said, if . . . this is the commander in chief’s show.”

The six riveted souls would never know to their dying day if what they just heard possessed any validity. But it didn’t matter; it had its desired effect. All through brunch they had been fed elitist words, energizing them to storm imagined threats to the sacred, state nation. Now with the addition of a wink-wink-nudge-nudge innuendo connecting them to the Oval Office, there was initiated a launch sequence, heading for antiquity.

It was all very well to be under the endorsement of the apparent creator of the universe. But He/She/It was invisible, not known for pinning on medals, handshakes, and photo ops. But for the president of the United States to be watching, who could even know them by name, was something else again. Or so it seemed.

#5 in The Lighthouse series

Christian Fiction / Thriller

Date Published: 12-31-2025

Publisher: Besondy Publishing LLC

What if the Future of Faith Depended on a Song?

DelivRus, a world-famous Christian rock band, confronts its darkest threat—from the world outside, and from the pride within.

It’s 2041, and a single world government is striving to strip nations of sovereignty and faith. But the music of DelivRus has been a bulwark against the global attack on faith. That has made the band and its leaders a target for destruction.

Tarnished drummer Charley Austin, 21, and untested songwriter Mia Johansen have been called to reunite the famous band for a high-stakes comeback tour that could ignite widespread spiritual revival—or end in catastrophe.

But as they prepare, supernatural forces infect Charley and Mia with pride, turning ambition into arrogance, loyalty into rivalry, and every creative difference into a potential fracture.

What begins as personal tension threatens to destroy DelivRus on the inside, even as external forces are being directed to end the band’s existence in a two-pronged attack of destruction.

With political intrigue and spiritual warfare raging in the shadows, the stage becomes the ultimate battleground—not just for a fractured world, but for the souls of Charley and Mia as faith and pride collide in heart-pounding suspense.

Fans of Frank Peretti will enjoy how Besondy gives dimension and character to evil dark angels.

Fans of C.S. Lewis' early works will appreciate how evil forces in Besondy’s novel slyly plot how to deceive and destroy the main characters.

Fans of Charles Martin will like how Besondy drags you deeper into the night so that truth can burn away the lies, reorienting your soul.

Spotlight is Book Five in the award-winning The Lighthouse series of Christian thrillers.

Interview with Charles Besondy

Could you tell us about any research trips you took for this story? Which places did you visit, and what made them essential to your writing?

For Spotlight, my schedule and budget didn’t permit travel to the two main locations in the book: Washington, D.C., and the Nashville metro area. For my purposes, I was able to virtually tour the areas online. The third location, on the Washington coast, is fictional, but having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, I am familiar with small coastal towns.

What's the strangest thing you've ever had to research online for your book?

For Spotlight, I was appalled and saddened by the research I did about child grooming by online predators.

What research (history, mythology, science) goes into your world-building?

My novels take place in a contemporary world, therefore I just look out the window. The last three, including Spotlight, take place in the near future, which gives me the freedom to imagine what could be 20 years from now. Each of my books refers to scripture when appropriate, therefore the Bible is always close at hand when I write.

The antagonists in my books “work” on earth, but often retreat to another dimension, which I call Sheolus. I didn’t pattern Sheol on anything I’ve studied or read. Pure imagination.

Have any of the people you've known, past or present, left a lasting impression on your writing journey? If so, we'd love to hear about a memorable experience that stands out to you.

My wife. When I read an early draft of a chapter to her, and it brings her to tears, I know I’m headed in the right direction.

Do you write in the same genre all the time?

I’m called to write within the Christian fiction genre. I consider my work to be Christian fiction “with an edge.” Most of my titles are nail-biting thrillers. All for Clay is contemporary women’s fiction, and Painting for a Stranger is a Christian allegory.

If so, have you ever consider writing in another one?

No. As I said earlier, I feel called to write what I’m currently writing.

Which character, supernatural or human, do you enjoy writing the most and why?

I’m going to dance on both sides of this question. I love digging deep into my characters, revealing flaws and fears. I love exposing the unearned blessing of grace as it heals and transforms. Having said that, I admit to having a lot of fun with my antagonists, who are dark angels with supernatural powers (but they don’t look like angels).

About the Author

Twelve-time award-winning author Charles Besondy published his first Christian thriller in 2018. His works tell riveting stories of the spiritual battle for our hearts.

Besondy's The Lighthouse series consists of 5 novels, a novella, and a short story.

My Review:

Flowers Over the Moon tells the tale of Emma, Stellan, and Sir Nugget. Emma was hurrying to deliver three thousand dollars' worth of native flowers. She pedaled her bike uphill, with Sir Nugget guiding her since the flowers surrounding her bike blocked her view, shouting, right, left, wait, stop!

Unfortunately, it was too late; she crashed into what felt like a brick wall. In reality, she collided with a male alpha wolf, triggering her wolf to shout mate. Emma’s wolf stirred, something it hadn’t done in years due to her long suppression of it.

But Emma’s wolf wasn’t the only one reacting; Stellan’s wolf was also on high alert. Stellan asked Emma to pretend to be his mated date to ease his mother’s concerns, or so he claimed.

I found Sir Nugget, Emma’s talking guinea pig sidekick, to be a delightful addition to the narrative. His unwavering support for Emma, often popping up at the most inconvenient moments, made him a charming character.

The Wedding Planner's Mate revolves around Cleo, Zander, and Ziggy, a talking guinea pig who reads tarot cards and serves as a sidekick.

Cleo is tasked with organizing Zander's and Laura's wedding. She first encounters Zander when he heroically saves her from being hit by a garbage truck, ruining his very expensive suit. As he swiftly pulls her to safety, both their wolves react, howling 'mate' in unison.

Ziggy, the charming guinea pig, is always eager to read tarot cards for anyone, but he insists on being paid in snacks. Under no circumstances will he perform a reading without receiving his tasty treats. Ziggy is undeniably adorable.

What a delightful tale this is! I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the adventures of Cleo, Zander, and Ziggy. I truly enjoyed it.

One Bite tells the tale of Sable, Ash, a formidable male alpha wolf, and Biscuit, a chatty Pomeranian sidekick. Sable was simply performing her duties when chaos erupted, putting her life at risk. She stood frozen, bracing for the inevitable, when suddenly, someone crashed into her, pushing her to safety and saving her life.

A male alpha wolf collided with her, and Sable’s wolf instinctively leaped up and bit him, marking him as hers. The next thing she knew, she was encircled by a wolf security team. According to pack law, biting an alpha without consent is forbidden.

Now, Sable’s life hangs in the balance, depending on whether this alpha wolf, whom she has bitten, will accept her claim. What a thrilling moment it was, waiting to see if this alpha wolf would acknowledge her claim or not.

This particular scene remains etched in my memory. I genuinely enjoyed it. I believe that One Bite is my absolute favorite story in the Fairy Tales With Fangs series.

Biscuit is simply adorable. He holds a special place in my heart because I once had a Pomeranian named Margarita, who passed away last year. She was incredibly affectionate and always craved human companionship, which I cherished.

I also adore Sable and Ash’s story, and I would be absolutely thrilled to see their journey brought to life on the big screen.

You know I would love to see the Fairy Tales With Fangs stories adapted into a TV series. I would love to see all the talking animal sidekicks in action. Oh, what a delight that would be.

I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed every single story in the Fairy Tales With Fangs series, far more than I ever expected. Each tale is distinct in its own right. I eagerly await more stories from this enchanting series.

I highly recommend Pivoting Into Love to fans of shifter romance featuring a talking animal sidekick. Be sure to grab your copy of Pivoting Into Love today!
