Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  •                               Which road are you taking?    Father, thank you for leaving us with your beauty, adventures, places that won't harm us. Apart from you, we can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.   

  •                     . . . in a love song is a quick read for e-readers and portrays two individuals who've never experienced real love. Their attraction is instant, their goals not the same, but there's something intangible that makes them want to pursue each other to see…

  •   No, it's not Mars. It's western Washington. Or it could be. For us on this side of the Cascade Mountain Range, it's cookin'. Summer brought the heat. Normally, for us, June is wet and the average temperature is about 70 degrees, definitely not in the 100s. It's joked about around here that Independence Day…

  •     Another oldie but goodie. There were a lot of them back in the day.    Father, you knew the times, you know the times, and all that they entail. And, still, the most important thing remains: Jesus: the Savior of the world. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

  •                   Imagination is a wonderful thing. It spawns creativity. No one can compete with God's imagination – which is probably a foolish thing to say because His "imagination" creates reality. Mankind is blessed with gifts and talents from our Creator who has given us the abilities to…

  •              My new novel, my WIP (to the writing crowd), is turning out to be enormously fun to write. My last three novels produced some tough transitions. First, Race became strenuously tricky to compose. Even with the superlative help from a wonderful LEO, I froze up on the story so…

  •                                                  These are the new (above) and old/original (below) covers of Vince Flynn's first published novel. It's the only one of his that doesn't feature the incredible character Mitch Rapp. If you've…

  •   So, do you like this method of ending stories? Leaving you, the reader, dangling with a perilous undetermined conclusion?  My feelings vary concerning cliffhangers. If the next novel will be a year away, then No with a capital N. That's a terrible way to leave a story. However, if the next book is six…

  •     Just a little fun change of pace here. Look at these great rides!    Father, thank you for all types of fun creativity. Apart from you, we can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
