Books by DMT Willis

I write fiction under the pen name DMT Willis — the initials are a family thing.

I’ve always been a storyteller. Songs, blog posts, stage performances — but novels are where the big stories live. The ones that keep you up past your bedtime. The ones that make you care about people who don’t exist and worry about what happens to them next.

These are those stories.

Phase Defiant

A Project Overwatch Book

Available now on Amazon — Get it here

It’s 1994. No cell phones. No internet. Just a teenage girl named Tiffany Grant who reaches for a hairbrush one morning and her hand passes straight through it.

Then through a wall.

Then through everything she thought she knew about herself.

The government calls it a condition. They call their program Project Overwatch. And they find Tiffany before she finds herself.

Pearl Jam on the radio. Doc Martens on her feet. And a gift she’s been told is something to fear.

Phase Defiant is a YA sci-fi thriller set in a world before the noise — before algorithms and notifications and infinite distractions. A world where a kid had to figure things out with nothing but her own instincts and the few people she could trust.

If you like Stranger Things but want it grittier, set in the 90s, with real stakes — this is your book.

Available in Kindle and paperback.

If you read it, I’d love an honest review on Amazon. Reviews are the lifeblood of an indie author, and every single one matters.

The Light Bearer

Coming Soon

A YA fantasy in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and the Chronicles of Narnia.

Three Oklahoma teenagers cross into a world called Aeldor — and discover that the battle between light and darkness isn’t just a metaphor. It’s real. And they’re in the middle of it.

More details coming soon.

Coming Down the Road

I have several more stories in various stages of development. A YA mystery set in small-town Oklahoma in 1995. A YA superhero novel built on a biblical parallel. A children’s Christmas story. And more.

The pen name is DMT Willis. The stories are mine. And there are a lot more coming.

Why a Pen Name?

People ask. DMT are the initials of my family — me, my wife, and my son. Every book I write carries them with me. The stories are fiction. The family behind the name is real.

Thanks for reading. If you pick up Phase Defiant, let me know what you think. I wrote it because I couldn’t not write it. I published it because I finally knocked on the door. And I’d love for you to be on the other side.
