He has been a full-time author for about four years, following a twenty-year career as a computer professional.

Interview with Alton Gansky
Please Welcome…Alton Gansky (*Originally posted July 2007) What a privilege to have Christian author Alton Gansky as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Alton (“Al” to his friends) is a good friend of mine. His novel, A Ship Possessed, was one of the first Christian speculative novels I read. I was thrilled to find someone who could write cool action adventures with a decidedly speculative edge and yet write from the Christian worldview. I have remained a fan of his writing and am honored to count him (and his wife—hi, Becky!) among my friends. Al is a kind man, a quick wit, a good …
Writing in the Dark
I began writing about six years ago. Little did I know the steep learning curve that came with that particular “hobby” or the things God would teach me through the process. At first I wrote scenes that came to me. I fiddled around with plots, never quite knowing where I was going. As I wrote, life continued to roll by. God move my family a couple times. I had a daughter, then along came the twins. When the twins arrived, I put writing away. My days were consumed with diaper changing, feeding children, and keeping the house from burning down …

Interview with Tosca Lee
Please Welcome…Tosca Lee What a joy to have Christian novelist Tosca Lee as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. This is the second in a series of three interviews with up-and-coming authors in Christian speculative fiction. There are many excellent candidates for this category, but I have selected these three because of their outstanding contributions to the fiction we love and because of their interesting stories. I first encountered Tosca’s writing when I was over the fiction line at Realms. Her manuscript, Demon: A Memoir, was astounding, a tour de force. It’s a brilliant look at mankind, history, and God from the …

God and the Writer
God. Just that one word calms me, reminds me why I write, and that He is in control, even when everything is spinning the other way. When I worry about what others will think of my book, I remember I am writing for an audience of One. When I worry about juggling work, family, and writing, I remember how many times I have placed my work in His hands and that He has always provided time for me to write without neglecting family or job. Lately, I have found myself praying to God more about my writing. I now have …

Sunday Devotional–2 Kings 22: 10-13 The Word of God obscured and found
10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king. 11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant: 13 “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger that burns against us because those who have gone before us …
