Please Welcome…Bill Snodgrass (*Originally posted March 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative fiction champion Bill Snodgrass as our interview guest this month here at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Bill is a published author of Christian speculative fiction, but he is mainly known to fans of these genres as the mastermind behind Double-Edged Publishing (DEP). DEP publishes books, poetry, and a wide array of e-zines of interest to fans of Christian speculative fiction. Two of their publications, The Sword Review and Dragons, Knights, and Angels were merged in 2008 to form Mindflights. DEP’s other online publications include Ray Gun Revival, Teenage, Haruah, and Fear and Trembling. Check …
Interview with Robert Liparulo
Please Welcome…Robert Liparulo (*Originally posted January 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative novelist Robert Liparulo as our interview guest this month at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Bob is an author of Christian thrillers with a decidedly speculative edge. His first novel, Comes a Horseman, starts off as a serial killer police procedural and quickly morphs into a global chase for a man who thinks he’s the antichrist. In Germ, a biologist creates a designer virus that becomes lethal only when it’s found the exact DNA of the person it’s looking for. Several of his novels are in development with Hollywood producers. The …

Please Welcome…Rebecca Miller (*Originally posted August 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist and speculative fiction pioneer Rebecca LuElla Miller as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Becky is one of those ladies you need to get to know if you’re serious about Christian speculative fiction fandom. Not only is she a novelist herself, she is the administrator of the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour, the editor of the Latest in Spec e-newsletter, a blogger on her own site and at Speculative Faith, and the initiator of the Clive Staples Award for Christian speculative fiction. Yikes. Add all …

Please Welcome…Frank Creed (*Originally posted July 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist and speculative fiction pioneer Frank Creed as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Frank is one of those guys you need to get to know if you’re serious about Christian speculative fiction fandom. Not only is he a novelist himself, he is the founder of The Lost Genre Guild, one of the premier nexus points on the Internet for all things pertaining to the genres we love. Frank is also the head literary critic for thefinishers.biz, and a Biblical cyberpunk artist. His near-future, high-tech, dystopian science fiction …
Interview with Donita K. Paul
Please Welcome…Donita K. Paul (*Originally published June 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist Donita K. Paul as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Ah, Donita, the dragon lady, my buddy in Colorado Springs. Donita and I had known each other through a writer’s online group we’re both part of, but we became good friends when my family and I moved to Colorado Springs. It was the end of October when we moved, so Donita invited us to her church for their we’re-not-celebrating-Halloween “harvest festival.” It was great fun and we’ve been attending that church ever since. We also end …
Interview with Eric Wilson
Please Welcome…Eric Wilson (*Originally posted May 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist Eric Wilson as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. I first met Eric when he was an aspiring novelist and I was an editor at Multnomah Publishers in Oregon. We had communicated a few times via e-mail and I had taken a look at some of his early writing. (His memory of my feedback to him about it: “Ouch!”) One day we got to meet in person when he was passing through town. We got together for a nice talk in the park and he gave me …
Interview with T.L. Hines
Please Welcome…T.L. Hines (*Originally posted April 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist T.L. Hines as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Tony L. Hines writes what he calls “noir bizarre fiction,” which to you and me looks a lot like supernatural thrillers. He mixes elements of the crime/mystery and supernatural/ fantasy genres. He says we should blame it on an unhealthy fascination with The Night Stalker and Rod Serling’s Night Gallery as a child. Okay, that gets us into the ballpark, doesn’t it? I still remember this Night Gallery in which a guy is sleeping on a bottom bunk and …
Interview with Bill Myers
Please Welcome…Bill Myers (*Originally posted March 2008) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Bill Myers! Bill writes all kinds of cool and creepy Christian speculative fiction, but I first heard his name in connection with a TV program. Back in the days before Veggie Tales there was precious little Christian film or video entertainment worth watching. It was truly atrocious. But then I stumbled across this series called McGee & Me about this normal kid and his animated friend (who got him in and out of all kinds of trouble). The animation was great and, more …
Interview with Robin Parrish
Please Welcome…Robin Parrish (*Originally posted February 2008) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Robin Parrish! I first heard Robin’s name in connection with his hip and influential e-zine INFUZE. I could tell from his editorials and the content on the site that he was a kindred spirit. Indeed, when he reviewed WhereTheMapEnds in 2007 he said it was an idea he wished he’d come up with himself. (Note that as of this writing INFUZE is in danger of folding. Consider going to the site to see whether or not you might be able to be a …
