The Touch of Telly D. Young
Book One of the Telly D. Young Series
A gripping coming-of-age supernatural thriller for fans of mystery, faith, and hidden powers.
Telly D. Young was never supposed to be noticed.
Born with the miraculous ability to heal with a single touch, Telly’s gift has been hidden from the world since birth. His parents swore to protect him—even if that meant keeping him in the shadows. But when a dying girl begins to walk again, whispers spread like wildfire through the quiet mountain town of Alder Bend.
Now the world is watching.
Some call it a miracle. Others call it impossible. But Telly knows one thing: once his secret is out, there’s no turning back.
As strangers close in, desperate for hope—or control—Telly must decide if hiding is still an option. Because with every person he saves, the price gets higher… and the danger grows closer.
Perfect for readers who love:
Supernatural suspense with emotional depth
Gifted protagonists with secret powers
Rural small-town settings with big mysteries
Stories of sacrifice, faith, and identity
His parents realize he is a boy with the power to heal, but why? Is it spiritual, or is it supernatural superpowers? This will be explained in the follow-up books. It could be, all combined.

Author Bio:
Hello, my name is James R. Baldwin.
A few years ago, I became gravely ill. During that difficult time, a co-worker and long-time friend became a source of incredible strength and encouragement. He inspired me to keep going, to fight the battle I was facing, and never to give up. We stayed in constant communication, often talking late into the night. About a year into those conversations, he called to share devastating news: he had been diagnosed with throat cancer. The shock was overwhelming.
While I slowly began to recover, he did not. His condition worsened, and there was nothing we could do to stop it. Around six months later, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion and purpose, and it was then that the idea for this book came to me. I had never written a book before, and the task felt daunting. But I knew I had to try. Time was short, and I was determined to finish the manuscript while he was still with us.
I worked day and night to bring it to life. Just days after I finished the book—without him ever knowing I had been writing it—I received the heartbreaking call that John had passed away.
A few days later, I reached out to his wife to let her know about the book and how deeply John had inspired it. It was officially published just 13 days after he passed away. I have since released a second edition with a new cover.
This book would not exist without John.
And now, I’ve released Book Two in the series, also lovingly dedicated to John.
