The one chaplain character feels like a Quaker more than anything else.

Ideally, a secular reader would see God acting in my story, but accept it as an organic part of the story-world rather than as deus ex machina or a shoehorned evangelism attempt.

The downside to a pre-Incarnation setting is that I think that would drive my stories…[Read more]
