Interview with Ted Dekker
Another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Ted Dekker (*Originally posted November 2006) What an honor to have novelist Ted Dekker as our third interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com.

And now the interview. WhereTheMapEnds: Catch us up with what’s going on in your life. Ted Dekker: I’ve buried myself in movies, primarily House, the movie, and setting up a system …
Interview with Jerry B. Jenkins
Please Welcome…Jerry B. Jenkins (*Originally posted October 2006) This month we have bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins as our interview guest. Personally, I feel that the work Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye did on the Left Behind series is the reason most Christian novelists are able to get paid to write their stories. That series opened so many doors for us. Suddenly publishers wanted Christian fiction. Companies began to publish fiction even if they’d never done so before. Editors got hired, fiction cover design became important, and many, many Christian novelists found publishers astonishingly open to what, not long before, …
Interview with Frank Peretti
Here is another interview brought to you buy www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…Frank Peretti (*Originally posted September 2006) What a joy and honor to have novelist Frank Peretti as our initial interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. As I’ve said elsewhere on this site, and as I’ll say to anyone who cares to listen, I consider Frank Peretti the father of Christian speculative fiction in the modern era. His novel This Present Darkness ushered in the modern age of Christian fiction in general. I personally love it that the novel that started it all was speculative. Mr. Peretti was gracious enough to participate in …
Interview with Morgan Busse
Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Morgan Busse (*Originally posted May 2012) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction author Morgan Busse. While most authors begin their story with knowing they were destined to be a writer at an early age, such is not the case with Morgan. When she was young she wanted to be a Pegasus unicorn… She never managed to become that elusive magical creature. Instead, she grew up to be a wife and mother. She says that sometimes that experience is equally magical, and sometimes she wishes she had magic. (The “flick …
Interview with Jeff Gerke, a.k.a. Jefferson Scott
Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! 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. Well, I can still say it’s a joy if I’m talking about myself, can’t I? If I have a positive self-image… 😉 At the last minute the interview guest I had lined up for this month was unable to get the interview to me in time. Instead of scrambling to find someone else quickly and then imposing on that person to drop everything and do the interview, …
Interview with John Olson
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 …

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 …
