Stephen Haastrup

Stephen Haastrup was born in Texas and raised in Nigeria, where faith, culture, and storytelling shaped his earliest view of the world. A lifelong student of human nature and the supernatural, Stephen brings a unique voice to fiction-one that blens spiritual depth with psychological suspense.

With years of experience leading Sunday school classes and youth ministry, Stephen has spent much of his life helping others wrestle with themes of redemption, failure, grace, and truth. These same themes pulse through his writing, which often explores the consequences of hidden sin, the weight of memory, and the mystery of spiritual warfare.

When he's not crafting stories that haunt and heal, Stephen runs a successful cleaning business, where excellence, discipline, and detail are part of his daily rhythm.

Sanctuary of Shadows is a reflection of his passion for storytelling that confronts both the darkness we fear-and the grace we long for.
