Built by a soldier. Driven by faith.
Founded by U.S. Army veteran and author Dwight E. Link — 82nd Airborne and 45th Infantry — Bastion & Jax Media was born from a conviction that faith-driven stories deserve a home. Based in the Missouri Ozarks and guided by the motto "Building Stories That Matter," we bring the same commitment to excellence, integrity, and mission-focus to publishing that military service demands. This is more than a business. It's a calling.
President, Founder & Author
Dwight E. Link
Dwight E. Link is an author, veteran, former minister, musician, husband, father, and grandfather whose writing is shaped by faith, perseverance, and the belief that even ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
A former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division and infantryman with the 45th Infantry Division, Dwight’s life has been marked by service, sacrifice, and a deep respect for those who stand in the gap for others. His military background, personal trials, ministry experience, and lifelong faith have all helped shape the message behind his work: no matter how dark the battle becomes, God can still use broken people for a greater purpose.
Before becoming an author, Dwight served in ministry as a youth pastor and senior pastor. He also founded Link to Hope Ministries, a ministry that reached children and families in India through compassion, faith, and practical support. These experiences gave him a front-row seat to both human suffering and the power of hope. They also deepened his conviction that faith is not meant to be passive — it is meant to move people toward courage, compassion, and action.
Dwight’s writing often explores themes of redemption, spiritual warfare, restoration, courage, and the quiet strength found in surrendering to God. His nonfiction book, Last Days Heroes, challenges readers to examine what it truly means to become a hero of faith in difficult and uncertain times. Through personal testimony, biblical encouragement, and honest reflection, Dwight invites readers to move beyond comfortable Christianity and step into a deeper, more courageous walk with God.
His fiction also carries that same heartbeat. In stories like Two Against the Odds: The Signature, Dwight blends suspense, faith, redemption, and spiritual darkness into character-driven stories about flawed people being drawn into battles much larger than themselves. His goal is not only to entertain readers, but to remind them that hope can still rise in broken places.
Dwight writes from the Ozarks near Branson, Missouri, where he continues to pursue his passion for storytelling, faith-based encouragement, and helping others stand strong through the battles of life. He is married to his wife, Delena, and is the proud father and grandfather of a family that remains one of his greatest blessings.
Whether writing nonfiction, fiction, devotionals, or messages of encouragement, Dwight’s mission remains the same: to point people toward faith, courage, redemption, and the God who still restores what life has broken.
