I wish I was able to understand exactly what all this means lol.
"There's a strong but subtle sense of spirituality running throughout your writing. Do you view your fiction as a type of witness? And how do you keep the balance so well?
I don't think of my books as a type of witness in terms of stating what I directly believe, but rather showing the spiritual side of people that is often missing in modern fiction. God is an important part of a vast majority of people's lives (including mine) and yet even in crime fiction where characters are faced with death all the time, very few books talk about it in a spiritual sense. I don't know if I keep the balance well. I get some letters saying I don't talk enough about God and Jesus and others that say I talk about them too much. When it feels logical to me for a person to think or act on spiritual matters, I put it in. I try not to preach, but just lay it out there. I'm not sure I could write a book where God wasn't mentioned in some way because it's such a big part of who I am and that's what writers do, try to show the world their take on things."
I can't actually remember when this happens in the two books I have read.
