Please Welcome…Jeff Gerke (*Originally posted September 2008) What  a joy to have Christian novelist and speculative fiction pioneer Jeff Gerke as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com.

Sunday Devotional – Seeking Him

by  

“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”  Acts. 17:27-28 (NIV1984) God delights in “being found” by us – in revealing Himself to us. He is so awesome and multifaceted that we will never stop discovering new aspects of His mercy, grace, strength, and holiness. I love the moments in writing where a scene, a character, or an event …

But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 6)

by  

It’s time for another installment of our fantasy talke for “Speculative Story Saturday.” And because it’s my turn (Jill) and I can’t seem to write fantasy without a map, I drew one. I left several of the Nine Ports unnamed in case other authors should choose to name one in their future episodes. If you see that I’ve forgotten something, leave a comment, and I’ll add whatever is needed to the map. Morning dew on the timothy and foxtail grasses soaked my boots and pant legs as Abelard and I walked toward the riverbank and a copse of birch and …

Interview with John Olson

by  

Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…John Olson (*Originally posted February 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative novelist John Olson as our interview guest this month at WhereTheMapEnds.com. When I asked John how he’d like to be introduced to you, he said, “I’d like to be introduced as the amazingly talented author of the best-selling Harry Potter series. But since I didn’t write any of those books, I guess I’ll have to settle for being introduced as that scientist guy who wrote Fossil Hunter and the ‘vampireless vampire’ novel everyone’s afraid to read.” The book he’s referring to …

Why Isn’t Marriage Romantic Anymore?

by  

Dan and I were watching The Event one night. Afterwards, I turned to Dan and told him they should have had two of the main characters married instead of just dating. I would have pulled for them more. Then Dan pointed out something: most of the world does not see the romance or permanence of marriage anymore. Dan’s words saddened me. I guess I’m one of those that still believes marriage can be the strongest human relationship in the world. Where a man finds a woman and chooses to love only her the rest of his life. Where a woman …

Welcome to another interview brought to you by www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…Adam Palmer (*Originally posted May 2011) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Adam Palmer! This is what Adam has to say about himself: I’m just a guy who lucked into being able to write for a living. I love Jesus and I try to represent him well in everything I do. I’ve written a few books; some of them have sold well, some of them have not, all of them have been honest. That’s just Adam being humble, though. In actuality he is the author of …
