Very cool username!

Oh, thank you! The credit goes to my parents’ good taste in name-choosing.

Yes, I loved the Space trilogy as well, in addition to Narnia. Lewis is one of my favorite authors.

Thanks for the advice! I had actually never considered mixing genres before. I think I should set aside some time just for worldbuilding brainstorming. I appreciate your reminding me that the writer’s delight will make the reader feel passion as well. Confession: Recently I realized that I’ve kind of been stressing too much about word count and stuff and don’t have as much joy in what I’m actually writing, so I needed that nudge. After all, as you said, delight is infectious!

Thank you so much! I’m only on the second draft of that book, so it isn’t quite fully developed lol, but I definitely believe I won’t ever love another WIP in quite the same way. Paul is actually my favorite Bible character, mainly because several of his writings really pushed me into the conversion process. I certainly agree that there are so many misconceptions about him, which was a large part of my motivation to write that book. I really love to see Bible characters as they were – real people with feelings – instead of the statues, paintings, and verses we tend to reduce them to. It’s quite fun to write through Paul’s sister’s eyes. 🙂

Thanks so much for the kind words and greeting!
