Loren W. Christensen is a Vietnam veteran, retired police officer, a martial artist since 1965, and a prolific author of books and magazine articles.

As a writer, Loren has penned over 70 books and dozens of magazine articles on a variety of subjects. While his target audience is most often what he calls “the warrior community” – martial artists, cops, soldiers – his writing has become popular among high school and college students, parents, professionals of every kind, and people interested in a side of life outside the norm.

Loren is most thankful to his many friends, associates and fellow writers in the warrior community for their continual support and expert advice.

Awesome

Dangle is a gifted storyteller. His wonderful prose perfectly captured the bleak, frozen world in which his characters suffer.

Get this one.

“Understand this, a hospital is a gateway between the living and the dead. We’ve all had things happen to us here.”
Loren W. Christensen, Cops' True Stories of the Paranormal: Ghosts, UFOs, and Other Shivers

“Beware of false knowledge, it is more dangerous than ignorance” ~ Bernard Shaw”
Loren W. Christensen, Meditation for Warriors

“It pays to plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. ” - Anon”
Loren W. Christensen, Defensive Tactics: Modern Arrest & Control Techniques for Today's Police Warrior

“Hope is not a plan”
Anderson Cooper

“A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises.” ~ J. M. Barrie”
Loren W. Christensen, Cops' True Stories of the Paranormal: Ghosts, UFOs, and Other Shivers

“Understand this, a hospital is a gateway between the living and the dead. We’ve all had things happen to us here.”
Loren W. Christensen, Cops' True Stories of the Paranormal: Ghosts, UFOs, and Other Shivers

“It was a dark shadow figure, six-foot tall, yet I could see through it, and it was bending over one of the bagged bodies.”
Loren W. Christensen, Cops' True Stories of the Paranormal: Ghosts, UFOs, and Other Shivers

“Google “hospital spirits,” and you will find links to sites ranging from “haunted hospitals,” to blogs written by nurses telling of their experiences with the spirit world in the halls of working hospitals and those long-closed. One blogger nurse warns that if people could see what she sees of the spirit world in hospitals, pregnant women would never birth their children in them. To paraphrase: It doesn’t make sense to deliver a child in a place where sick and old people die. If there are no other options, at least first purify the space of wandering spirits, dark emotions, and thoughts.”
