R.T. Fitch’s life has been anything but ordinary. Straight out of high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force Band during the Vietnam era, and while stationed in Hawaii, he spent weekends at Sea Life Park training penguins, sea lions, and whales. His path through life has taken many unexpected turns—including more than a few lessons in love—until meeting his wife, Terry, brought a lasting partnership and a shared passion for animals.
Over the course of his adult career, R.T. worked internationally in multiple countries, gaining a broad, global perspective that colors both his worldview and his writing. Now rooted in Texas, he and Terry live on a small farm surrounded by four-legged companions with paws, claws, and hooves. Together, they have devoted years to equine rescue and wild horse protection.
An ordained volunteer chaplain and professional Santa Claus for a local historical society—with Terry by his side as Mrs. Claus—R.T. brings warmth, wisdom, and joy to every season. His work reflects a life of service, wonder, and connection to both people and animals.
He is the author of Straight from the Horse’s Heart, a moving collection of true rescue stories and spiritual reflections, and Fangs of Light, a supernatural tale steeped in symbolic and metaphorical storytelling. The first in a planned trilogy, Fangs of Light blends myth and mystery to explore themes of identity, redemption, and the power of empathy—offering readers not only suspense and intrigue but a deeper look at the light and shadow within us all.

“Please remember to join myself and other fellow Americans in taking a moment of silence at 3 PM today in honor of all the heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live free and unfettered in the greatest country in the world, the United States […]
Today, and tomorrow, we will deviate just a tad from our normal format so as to respectfully honor those who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice so that we, as Americans, can live in a free and prosperous nation. I, for one, am moved to tears for the sacrifice that has been made for all of us, collectively.
But how many of us know the true history of Memorial day, it’s roots and evolution in our society? Not as many as you would think. So today we will share with you bits of information that may give you more understanding into why we celebrate and add additional depth to the feelings that stir within you.

A couple of points, here;
This is still a blog that I created and, somewhat, oversee so I can and will say whatever I damn well please, here, and I will endeavor to keep it from being politically correct, simply because it gives me great joy to expose the corrupt and unholy.
I sincerely dislike giving Doink Duquette any additional press, even bad press, but newcomers to the horse slaughter issue could use a brief history lesson.
by Todd Wilkinson as published on The Mountain Journal “From the father of bloody horse slaughter comes yet another new angle used to confuse and confound the American people. A true embarrassment to American values!” ~ R.T. After angering millions of Americans for his brazen anti-environmental agenda, can […]
