Interview with Ellen Maze
Please Welcome…Ellen Maze (*Originally posted July 2010) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Ellen Maze. Ellen has been writing since she could form sentences. Her earliest works are tucked away safely in her mother’s files, but now, her current work is published for the world to see. Her subjects range from vampires to angels to demonic powers in dark places; but her goal is to entertain the reader while sending a message of redemption that is never preachy but is disguised between the lines; like a wonderful mystery to be unfolded by whosoever will. Pitching faith …
Interview with Jack Cavanaugh
Please Welcome…Jack Cavanaugh This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Jack Cavanaugh. In his own words, Jack is a speculative novelist masquerading as a historical fiction novelist. His first love has always been science fiction and fantasy. In fact, in elementary school he cut his reading teeth on Tom Swift books. One memorable summer in junior high was spent reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Martian series. In high school it was Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Robert Heinlein. When Jack first started writing, no one was publishing Christian fiction (yes, he’s that old). Publishers told him that Christian …

Please Welcome…The Miller Brothers (*Originally posted August 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative fiction novelists Christopher and Allan Miller as our interview guests this month here at WhereTheMapEnds. (That’s Chris on the left and Allan on the right.) The Miller Brothers always loved creating stories and art. From early childhood, they were working together on one creative project or another. Impacted by the books that surrounded them growing up as sons of Christian bookstore owners, they ultimately pursued degrees in computer animation in order to tell great stories. Their lives would take a different turn as God directed …
Interview with Conlan Brown
Please Welcome…Conlan Brown (*Originally posted July 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative fiction novelist Conlan Brown as our interview guest this month here at WhereTheMapEnds. Conlan is an energetic young man who will both talk your ear off and take a bullet for you. I first encountered Conlan at the Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference in 2008. I was teaching the advanced fiction track and I had this very sharp kid in the first row who volunteered for every skit, answer, or writing challenge I threw out to the class. He was outspoken and funny and, frankly, just about …

Interview with Eric Wilson
Please Welcome…Eric Wilson (*Originally posted May 2008) What a joy to have Christian novelist Eric Wilson as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. I first met Eric when he was an aspiring novelist and I was an editor at Multnomah Publishers in Oregon. We had communicated a few times via e-mail and I had taken a look at some of his early writing. (His memory of my feedback to him about it: “Ouch!”) One day we got to meet in person when he was passing through town. We got together for a nice talk in the park and he gave me …
