God and the Writer
God. Just that one word calms me, reminds me why I write, and that He is in control, even when everything is spinning the other way. When I worry about what others will think of my book, I remember I am writing for an audience of One. When I worry about juggling work, family, and writing, I remember how many times I have placed my work in His hands and that He has always provided time for me to write without neglecting family or job. Lately, I have found myself praying to God more about my writing. I now have …
Interview with Leathel Grody
Please Welcome…Leathel Grody (*Originally posted April 2007) What a joy to have Christian author and computer game designer Leathel Grody as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com.

Leathel is the owner of both the Lethal Publishing Corporation and the Lethal Games Corporation. Through these venues he produces his own Christian science fiction and fantasy products—novels and computer games. You can …
Sunday Devotional–2 Kings 22: 10-13 The Word of God obscured and found
10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king. 11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant: 13 “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger that burns against us because those who have gone before us …

But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 12)
Abelard had always been near the truth, yet it eluded him like a branch just out of reach. His was faith not wholly acted upon. Were he only to leap, his hands would have grasped, and he would have risen. He would have seen a farther horizon, perhaps even beyond the Fortress of Doom. He saw the stars, how they shined. His eyes appeared tired, but there was a deeper malaise set within them. They doubted. They feared. They refused to act. He had suspected who I was; studied my disguise in earnest. He had known in a timid part …

Flash Fiction from The World of ‘Crosswind’
Steve Rzasa here. With my new novel Crosswind coming out in November, I thought I’d give our dear faithful readers a taste of the world the Sark brothers inhabit (Winchell and Copernicus Sark are the main characters — check out my prior post.) It’s a world similar to ours but with a few key differences, I worked up this bit of flash fiction. Enjoy! * * * * * * “In the Bag,” by Steve Rzasa I ain’t done a blamed thing wrong. Not by my accounting, anyway. That’s what I keep telling myself as I urge my branter on through …
Interview with Steve Laube
Please Welcome…Steve Laube (*Originally posted March 2007) What a joy and honor to have agent and editor Steve Laube as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. If you’ve spent much time at all wading in the waters of Christian speculative fiction you will have heard of Steve Laube. For as long as I’ve been in publishing Steve has been the primary champion of speculative fiction in the CBA. Everyone told me, “If you want to write this kind of fiction, good luck! And you’d better get to know Steve Laube.” Though I’m sure he doesn’t remember it, I first met …
Let’s Cast Failstate!
I originally posted this earlier today at my blog, The Least Read Blog, but I wanted to recruit more people to join in this little game. Here’s the deal: One of the funny things that’s happened since Failstate was published was that a rumor somehow got started that I had a movie deal in the works. I’m not sure how that got started, but several people (who don’t know each other) have asked me about it. I suspect it might have something to do with the starred review that Publishers Weekly gave me back when the novel first released. The …
