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.

SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.

I was raised as a Christian but the transaction has to be made by yourself - you and God - at some point.

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.

I don't see success as the goal. Obedience is the goal.

Actually 'Soon' has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.
