I'd like to visit the book world of The God Portal. This choice is based, of course, upon meeting the same people and benefactors as the characters in the story met.

Don't mention those two words together because it may happen. Well it's going to happen anyway. Take a break and don't think about it for a while. Try to write again and if necessary, leave it again to do some research. Read what you've written, rewrite some if you thinks it needs it and then just let it flow.

The best thing about being a writer for me is people being willing readers of my manuscript. The letter I received from Tate Publishing accepting the manuscript and telling me what I had done well, and the areas of needed improvement, was exciting and encouraging.

John D. McDonald, who wrote the Travis Magee novels, said if you want to be a writer, then write. That's true. Don't be afraid that your idea isn't good enough, write it anyway. Then read it and re-write, be cause you won't be satisfied the first time.

I am currently working on a sequel with more geo-political conspiracy and danger to the main characters. This is in between promotional efforts for The Prophet's Secret.

My inspiration to write was mostly fascination with Jeremiah's supposed letter and the idea of Christian heroes undertaking an dangerous adventure. Even Christians find themselves in circumstances that require a violent response and that brought to mind the question, how would they respond in regards to their deepest held beliefs.

My idea came from 2nd Macabees of the Books of the Apocrypha where Jeremiah, the prophet, tells in a letter sent to his fellow Jews how he hid the original Tabernacle and the articles of worship from the Temple in a cave on Mount Nebo.
