Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose.

My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas.

As for dialogue, I think it keeps things moving to cut to the chase.

I've written enough books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton and Hank Aaron and Billy Graham, to know that fame looks good only to people who don't have it.

Fiction has a unique role in conveying Truth. In fact, only fiction that is Truth with a capital T is worthwhile.

While writing my first 90 books, I was magazine editor, publisher, book publisher, executive, etc., so I was established in publishing. three of my seven or so books were biographies of sports stars and really opened doors for me in that area.

When I was a junior camp counselor and it was my job to tell the campers a bedtime story or devotional, I would tell them a rapture story.
