When researching for his previous book “Seventh Son, A Northeast Texas Boyhood,” Roy found numerous anecdotes and testimonials in local newspapers across the South and Texas about his grandfather. The stories motivated him write about the Stuttering Preacher.

It is replete with stores about and from him, his witticisms and his religious crusades. Roy Brewer is a retired lawyer residing with his wife Cathy in Des Moines, Washington.
