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

You can't understand where someone's going unless you understand where they've been.

The theater of the mind is impossible to compete with, and I like the idea that with a few suggestions, each reader forms in his or her own mind what a character or a place looks like.

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.

I put off writing the first Left Behind book for a year because I got invited to assist Billy Graham in his memoirs, and had we known what we were putting off for a year, we might not have put it off.

I love inventing worlds and characters and settings and scenarios.

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