Almost presciently, Suthern's very first work of fiction was a book titled The Fat Cat, which he wrote and stapled together in the first grade.

Chocolate inspired the children’s book series Charlie and Chocolate’s Purrfect Prayer and Charlie and Chocolate’s Furry Forgiveness. Suthern and Michele share their home with three elderly cats: Gracie, Charlie, and Chocolate. They enjoy a peaceful and creative life amongst the trees and the natural beauty of Hot Springs. He and his wife, a professional violinist, have recently moved back to his home state of Arkansas. Hicks is currently writing and producing a new album to be released in late 2023. Two of his songs have been featured in films. His numerous Christian songs have had collectively over a million streams. He also wrote a Christmas musical, Evergreen, which gave him the impetus to write even more music. His play, Turtle Tears, received both the Critics' Choice Award from LA Weekly and praise from the Los Angeles Times. His first foray into professional writing was for the theater. After graduating from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a Bachelor of Arts and receiving a master’s degree from Arizona State University, he spent many years in Los Angeles, including a few years as a working actor. Suthern Hicks was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Will both worlds be lost, or will this unlikely group of friends figure out the way to conquer evil? Together they set out on a dangerous mission to save one world, while unknowingly jeopardizing their own. Unexpected help comes from the humblest in the animal kingdom a little red fox and a daring dirt dauber. The would-be heroes, Seth and Melissa, enter into a foreign world seemingly by chance, without much more than their faith as a guide.

Prophecy foretells that a brother and sister will come with a friend, bringing hope and news of a peaceful king. The Five Realms of Here have long sought someone to save them from the evil that holds them captive.

A Leaf of Faith, the second book in the Messenger and Thieves series, stands alone-without the necessity of having read the first book. The continuation of the Number 1 new release on Amazon in Christian fantasy, Where the Garden Begins.
