I was raised in a Christian home and, in fact, my mother led me to Christ as a youngster.

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.

Wherever you have people, you have factions and disagreements and personality conflicts.

Writers write. Dreamers talk about it.

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 love inventing worlds and characters and settings and scenarios.

Books that do a tenth of what Left Behind has done are smashing successes.
