Bio
S.L. Bolin is an American Author, with his second book and first full-length novel, Beyond The Speedway, hitting stores on 5/6/2025. Beyond The Speedway follows his debut novella, Pacific Hope, which reached the top 1% in Amazon sales after its release in December 2022.
​
After Pacific Hope's release, S.L. laid the foundation for what was next. Beyond The Speedway came to light as a story nearly five years in the making—first a script, then a frustrating idea with no home, and finally not only a full-length novel but also the first installment of a trilogy titled Just Drive.
​
This was no easy road. While writing the book, Bolin struggled with the idea of purpose, motivating him to express that notion in his writing, but also with the difference a powerful story could bring to a broken world.
​
How could the talent God gave and his love for auto racing, specifically the Indianapolis 500, make a positive difference in the world?
Beyond The Speedway follows the life of Alvaro Garza as he navigates skeletons from the past, family secrets, and many on-track hurdles to complete his auto racing dreams. Along the way, Alvaro's faith in God, focus on completing a family mission, and love for Kloe Lavine build. His path becomes far bigger than motorsports and one only the most faithful of God's soldiers could walk upon.
​
As S.L. wrote Beyond The Speedway, it became difficult for him to believe he was supposed to be the sole beneficiary of any success the book saw. God doesn't give us our talent to build a bigger home or drive a fancy car, he does it allow us to build a bigger table.
​
With that in mind, the decision was made to donate ALL profits from Beyond The Speedway author royalties to benefit OUR Rescue, an anti-human trafficking organization. S.L. hopes this is just the beginning of his impact on ending human trafficking and giving every child of God a chance at a peaceful and loving life.​

From The Reader
"Pacific Hope is a great book, really well written. Easy to follow, wonderful characters. I would recommend this book."
"The author takes the reader on a journey through love, honor and danger, as the second World War plays background music to a love worth fighting for. I'd recommend this book to anyone."
"At times intense yet inspirational, you'll be thinking about the characters long after you finish. Just be sure to have a box of tissues nearby, because there's certainly some emotional moments. Highly recommend!"
