Major Transformations
The Cycle of Completion follows a young man with physical challenges in a sealed-off section of utopia who is thrust into leadership by the city residents who believe he can lead them out of these dark times. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
Great question- The actual story was a dream that I had, but it was just the ending. When they are giving the scepter to David, thinking he is going to be the next king, but it really ends up being Elijah. Everything else ends up being good ideas that I blended into the story.
David’s transformation from a hesitant leader to a symbol of hope in your story was inspiring as he leaned on his faith to guide him. Were you able to achieve everything you wanted with the characters in the novel?
Yes, but it just wasn’t David’s alteration; Elijah, Abdul, and Abaddon all had major transformations as well. Is that not reality, one event can change so many people. Think about 9/11.
Was it important for you to deliver a moral to readers, or was it circumstantial to deliver an effective novel?
My gift is to entertain, crafting a story that can not only keep your interest, but also make these compelling characters, is my destiny. However, to bring the message of God to the masses, to scream out Jesus saves to the readers. That, my friend, is priceless!
What is the next book that you are working on, and when can your fans expect it to be out?
I am currently working on a book called Marcus Douglas Presents the Bruising of the Victor. It is a Spiritual Action Mystery, both highly entertaining and dually emotional.

Marcus Douglas Presents Dimensions of the Soul part 1
Marcus Douglas Presents Dimensions of the Soul is a fascinating mix of spiritual philosophy and high-stakes political thriller. The book dives deep into what defines the human soul, breaking it down into the mind, emotions, and will, and then wraps those ideas into a complex narrative about psychic government agencies, prophetic dreams, and the rise of a new U.S. president burdened with destiny. The story’s structure moves between theological meditations, called “Overtures,” and cinematic chapters filled with intrigue and danger. It’s both a metaphysical exploration and a modern myth, questioning how our inner selves shape the outer world and the consequences that follow when that balance is disturbed.
I found myself pulled into the book’s rhythm, first by its ideas, then by its characters, especially Natalie Massey and President Kirklin Adams. The writing is earnest and unfiltered, sometimes poetic, sometimes raw. There’s a moral sincerity that runs through every chapter, even when the dialogue leans toward melodrama. The theological reflections are surprisingly personal. I could sense Douglas’s own wrestling with faith, destiny, and the tug-of-war between spirit and flesh.
Emotionally, this book hit me in unexpected ways. There were moments when I had to pause just to think, especially during the scenes where the characters confront their inner demons or divine purpose. Douglas’s imagery, like the soul as a mediator between body and spirit, stayed with me. Some of the political plotlines felt far-fetched, yet the underlying message about corruption, faith, and the unseen battles of conscience made them strangely believable. The fusion of faith-based allegory with science-fiction ideas like “Dream Walking” is bold, and though not every concept lands cleanly, I admired the audacity.
I’d recommend Marcus Douglas Presents Dimensions of the Soul to readers who enjoy stories that challenge both heart and mind. It’s ideal for people who like their fiction thoughtful but not pretentious, and who appreciate a spiritual twist on classic suspense. If you’re drawn to tales where faith, science, and the human psyche collide, and you don’t mind a few wild turns along the way, this book will stay with you.
