Here's one of the issues we discuss: 

In the story, my main character is critical of the cities of Van Alstyne, Texas and Sherman, Texas. He doesn't like the church, the people, or even the members of his family that lived there. I want to emphasize this is part of his character development. Remember, the year is 1971. He's dealing with grief and the feeling that death is not only always around him, but actually seems to be chasing ...

I guess you can tell I'm doing all of the voices for these episodes. I really struggled trying to get Hershey's voice to sound right. He's like a lot of friends I've had, that put up with me even when I was going through some tough times and I was a grump. Wolf's voice was hard, too. How do you convincingly sound like a Cherokee? I've always ...

In this episode, reviewing Chapter 2, I have to ask the question - Is Lee a hero, or an anti-hero?  (Webster defines an antihero as “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities.)  We'll compare  old movie heroes to modern movie heroes. Lee is really angry, and in Chapter 2 he defends a couple of the soldiers in his unit against some bigoted guys from another unit. Is that heroic? Most of us woul...

I never went to Vietnam and I was never in the Army, but the main character Lee needed that experience to make it believable that he would be tough enough to do the other things he does later in his life in the story. I did a ton of research, and what kept coming up  from the guys that did go was how impoverished so many of the people were. ...

The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God 

  • by John Eldridge.

Eldridge is one of my favorite Christian authors. His books are page-turners, and this one is great for people who struggle to feel something from God. By experiencing God’s love from Eldridge’s perspective, you should be able to at least understand the passion of many Christians.

PSALM 119: Psalm 119 is called an acrostic poem. The stanzas begin with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the verses of each stanza begin with the same letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It gives a fascinating window into the beliefs of David, and how he felt about his God.

Originally, I had Snake as a major character in the entire story, turning into a good guy, but living a life of regret, similar to the Apostle Paul. I wanted to see what happened to a genuinely bad guy if he went through a repentance, and lived the rest of his life trying to follow God, but remembering what he was like before he made that decision. 

To make him more relatable, I originally wrote a flashback sequence when he had esca...
