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

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

The uninitiated have real questions and valid concerns over how the things of God appear to them.

Good fiction must be entertaining- but what makes fiction special- and True- is that the realness of a novel allows it to carry a larger message.

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

Ironically, in today's marketplace successful nonfiction has to be unbelievable, while successful fiction must be believable.
