Fred Oliver never expected to become a writer, especially in his sixties! His debut novel, Dormant Angels, brings together the influence of a multitude of elements from his personal and professional life. His travels throughout Europe and the Middle East have impressed in him how international events affect us all. Dormant Angels, no doubt, will be the subject of intellectual and spiritual debate.

​In 2024, Oliver had set his mind on giving something of value to the world, his storytelling.  Life is full of controversy. Religious and political beliefs have always divided mankind. The Catholic Church, like all human institutions, have changed through time. And like all human institutions, the Church has never been perfect, but today, what matters is the message of unity and brotherhood that it is putting forward.

The son of a U.S.  Army Combat Veteran and a dedicated mother, Oliver grew up in an unstable, though, nourishing home environment. His love for reading and natural curiosity about science, religion and mysteries of life have contributed to the backdrop of his first novel. He is a graduate of Inter-American University and the U.S. Naval Officer and Surface Officer Schools. His military experience taught him the importance of self-discipline in his writing.
