Names: Stephen Lawhead
Messin’ With Time
Beyond all my complaints about the time change, I find time an interesting topic, a part of world building, actually, in speculative stories.

Of Names And Such
As a reader, how much do you pay attention to the names of characters or places? How much do you think about the significance of the name itself?

Thinking About Time
Over all what do you think about stories that manipulate time? What are some of the best stories that you’ve read (or written) which depend on the manipulation of time or on a certain time period?

Finding Good Books
Should we be content to let traditional publishers narrow their offerings while we scramble on our own to find the books we like—books we hope are out there but can’t know for sure if we’ll find?

Truth And Story: A Look At The Multiverse

What Constitutes “Derivative”?
Some scholars claim J. R. R. Tolkien owed a debt of influence where he claimed none. I find this criticism to be thoroughly ironic because the great accusation against writers of high fantasy today is that their work is derivative, a mere shadow of, you guessed it, J.R.R. Tolkien.

What’s In Yours?
Summer is over, and many readers used a part of their vacation time to kick back and enjoy a good book. But every day authors announce new releases, and the fall line up seems full of a wealth of new books. Then there are the classics — the books everyone else talks about that we’ve never picked up ourselves, though we’ve been meaning to. For writers, there are also books of friends and colleagues. So, what’s in your to-be-read pile?

Harry Potter, Bob The Tomato, and Genre
At one little Baptist church in 1997, no one had heard of Harry Potter. But “VeggieTales” was all the rage, and was proposed for the church’s VBS — until Vera (not quite her real name) spoke up. “I won’t have this at my church,” she said firmly. “It’s fantasy.”
