Work

Everyone is wired to seek a connection to something profound and eternal. My work is influenced by my spiritual quests as a person and a pastor, which have revealed mystic connections. I try translating what I have learned into fiction and non-fiction stories that inspire and transform.
I'm a member of the League of Utah Writers, honing my craft. My published works are available on Amazon and other book resellers. I share multiple newsletters via Substack.

About

Fred Smullin is a progressive pastor, software engineer, and spiritual storyteller. A former Air Force weapons loader turned techie, Fred writes fiction and non-fiction that explores transformation, doubt, and the sacred path of mystics and misfits. He draws from his own journey through addiction recovery, agnosticism, and a late-in-life call to the pulpit. When not writing or preaching, he’s collecting heart-shaped rocks in the Utah mountains or chasing grandkids around Salt Lake City. His upcoming memoir, Stone Heart Pastor, follows a path from exile to sacred belonging.
