Inside the Creative Mind of
TED DEKKER
By C.J. Darlington
Ted Dekker loves to explore truth when he writes. Whether he’s
penning a thriller or co-writing a fantasy with his pal Tosca Lee, it’s
his goal for every book. And with five million copies of his novels in
print, he’s definitely making a connection with readers of all ages.
OCTOBER 2013 FAMILYFICTION.COM
All of my stories essentially seek to understand
and reconcile life as I have known it and life as it might be, free
of anything but the truth, bearing the fruit of peace and love,”
Dekker says. “For example, my Book of Mortals series is a trilogy
which explores the entire awakening journey from literal death to
wild, abundant life through the valleys of darkness which seem to
separate us from that abundant life. I am, and always have been,
obsessed with this journey. So I continue to write about it in ways
that challenge me and any who might read these stories.”
Growing up as a missionary kid in Indonesia surrounded by
cannibalistic tribes, Dekker’s stories usually contain twists
and always bring unique perspectives on good and evil, while
frequently weaving in a vein of the supernatural. “I write
what interests me,” he says. “And what interests me is seeing
things differently than what is at first obvious and yet so often
wrong. This means going beyond what is thought at first to be
natural and often does include an element of the ‘super’ natural.
My preference is to write the ‘super’ natural from a place that
OCTOBER 2013 FAMILYFICTION.COM
feels organic and perfectly
believable within the context
of the story into which the
reader has escaped.”
Always one to experiment
and cross genres, Dekker
recently dove into the waters
of self-publishing with his fourbook young adult series Eyes
Wide Open. Over half a million
readers downloaded the first
book, which still amazes Dekker,
who considered the stories an
experiment he wrote just for
fun. There will be more, too, as
Dekker plans to publish another
YA, Water Walker, in early 2014.
Dekker says, “Eyes Wide Open
introduces a character named
Outlaw, the main character of
my new solo release, and in
Water Walker Outlaw once again
plays a small role.
“Outlaw is a novel like
everything and nothing I’ve
ever written,” he adds. “Most
of it is first person, from the
point of view of a woman who
“All of my stories are mirrors—
what you see depends on
who you are.”
was taken into slavery in the jungles where
I was born and grew up. It’s a shattering and
triumphant story of passion, betrayal, love and
a whole new way of being in the world. More of
a return to the kinds of stories I wrote early in
my career, but this one is very personal for its
setting. I’ve been working on it for two years. I’m
so excited to see it finally come out!”
When asked what common theme runs through
all of his books, Dekker is quick to state: “Love.
And an obsession with seeing through a totally
different lens. It’s important to me because all of
life is about letting go of the old ways of seeing
and finding the new, narrow path so few find. I
want the reader to find themselves in the story,
which is really only a mirror of themselves. All of
my stories are mirrors—what you see depends
on who you are.”
Even with all his success and “rock star”
status in the fiction world, Dekker is a man who
remains firmly grounded. In fact, he doesn’t
feel he’s “arrived” as a writer at all. “The truth
is, there’s nowhere to get as a writer; as anyone,
really,” he says. “We are on a journey. Arriving
is an impossibility. There is only being, now.
Tomorrow is just another now. I feel no more
accomplished now than I did after writing my
first novel, which was never published.”

novels
Rel Mollet
Tolkien and Lewis have provided a wonderful heritage in Christian
allegorical storytelling for writers today. Creating fantastical
worlds, mythical creatures, heroic characters, and wicked villains,
writers of fantasy novels fire our imaginations. Discover these
five authors who follow in their footsteps.
Patrick W. Carr
Garnering rave reviews for his debut novel, A Cast of Stones
(Bethany), former engineer and now high school mathematics
teacher, Patrick W. Carr, has created the world of Illustra,
introducing Errol, a young alcoholic whose life is thrown into
turmoil by an old priest. The Hero’s Lot and A Draw of Kings
continue Errol’s journey towards healing and purpose.

Robert Treskillard
When his son wanted to learn blacksmithing and swordmaking, Robert Treskillard joined in with enthusiasm and
discovered he was descended from a Cornish blacksmith.
With his love for all things Celtic, it seemed natural to pen a
series re-imagining the Arthurian legends. Look for Merlin’s
Blade, Merlin’s Shadow, and Merlin’s Nightmare (Zondervan).

Morgan Busse
Inspired by JRR Tolkien and Terry Brooks, Morgan L. Busse
pens fantasy novels that intersect with faith. A Christy Award
finalist in the Visionary category with Daughter of Light
(Marcher Lord Press), the first in her Follower of the Word
trilogy, Rowen Mar’s story is continued in Son of Truth and a
yet-unnamed concluding novel that will release in 2014.

RJ Larson
RJ Larson confidently stated she would never write fantasy
fiction until a woman called Ela leapt into her imagination
and stayed there. Imbued with Biblical allegory, RJ’s Books
of the Infinite, Prophet, Judge, and King draw on the stories of
Jeremiah, Jonah, and Israel’s mighty kings as Parne’s prophet,
Ela, tries to turn her people back to the Infinite.

through his father Stephen Lawhead’s fantasy novel, Tuck,
Ross Lawhead is now the author of the Ancient Earths
trilogy. Releasing The Realms Thereunder (Thomas Nelson)
in 2011, Ross weaves a tale of an underground realm of
sleeping knights soon to be awakened. A Hero’s Throne and

Presented by Tyndale House
Q&A
LISA Wingate
Lisa Wingate’s new book The Prayer Box (Tyndale
House) follows the story of a troubled young
mother, Tandi, and her relationship with an elderly
woman, Iola. While caring for Iola, Tandi discovers
81 prayer boxes that span Iola’s life. What’s inside
those boxes will transform her forever—teaching
her something about grace and redemption.
Where did you get the
idea for this novel—
two characters in
drastically different
stages of their lives,
connecting on a very deep level?
The Prayer Box is a book that
came to be completely by
accident…if you believe in
accidents. I prefer to think that
it was divine intervention. It
was an idea that literally gobsmacked me out of the blue
one day as I was sketching
out some short book ideas at
a publisher’s request. I looked
across the room and saw a
prayer box that had been given
to me at a speaking event, and
thought, What if the prayers of
a person’s entire lifetime were
recorded in prayer boxes? What would you
learn if you opened those boxes, and how might
it change you?
The concept came almost fully formed. I knew
it would be a story about a young woman whose
life is in ruins, and that she’d end up being given
the job of cleaning out an old house that’s also
crumbling. I knew that inside the house she’d
find eighty-one carefully decorated prayer
boxes that are basically the chronicle of the life
of the woman who owned the home. They would
literally contain the story of a lifetime.
Tandi has a troubled past.
Can you tell us about her?
Tandi is a young woman with a difficult and
dangerous history. Like so many women who’ve
grown up in chaotic and frightening family
situations, she has unwittingly repeated many
of the family patterns with which she was
raised. She has created a toxic environment for

Christianity. Honestly, that’s a loss.”
herself, thirteen-year-old Zoey, and nine-yearold J.T. Tandi’s lack of self worth and the absence
of support systems have led her to make poor
relationship decisions—to validate herself
based on who she’s dating. She has no concept
of herself as valuable to the world or to God.
She loves her children, but has no idea how to
raise them. Hatteras Island, where she spent
time with her grandparents as a child, is one of
the few places she has felt safe in her life, so it is
the place she runs to when she flees an abusive
marriage to a controlling older man and an
addiction to prescription painkillers. The rental
cottage behind Iola Anne Poole’s decaying
Victorian house is a hiding place, but it quickly
becomes a refuge and a place of incredible
growth.
Prayer boxes are not something you hear about
or see every day. Can you tell us exactly what a
prayer box is?
Prayer boxes have a long tradition in Jewish
history and among early Christians, but other
than occasional use or use as a novelty gift, they
aren’t used that much in modern Christianity.
Honestly, that’s a loss. A prayer box is like a
prayer journal, but it’s more flexible and lowpressure. Any scrap of paper you run across any
time of the day will do, and you can drop it in
your prayer box whenever you
have the chance. Closing the lid
is symbolic of giving it over to
God and letting it go.
Prayer boxing and the idea of
taking the time to record our
prayers, hopes, and gratitudes
in writing (as Iola did in the
book) is so very valuable.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful, when
a child graduates, to be able to
give that child the box of hopes
and prayers written by parents
and grandparents during the
first year of life? Or for a couple
on their 25th anniversary to
re-open the box from their first
year of marriage? For years,
I’ve given journals or prayer
boxes to couples as wedding
gifts and encouraged them to
write down their hopes and
gratitudes during their first
year of life, then keep them.
It’s a great exercise while
they’re doing it and a precious
keepsake for later. It’s also
their story, preserved.

C.J. Darlington
“Who is your favorite fictional character of all
time, and what makes them so special?”
JULIE CANTRELL
My favorite fictional character of all time is Pippi
Longstocking! I can’t read a single story about
Pippi without smiling. She is spunky, strong,
kind, and FUNNY! She’s always getting into
some kind of mischief, and she turns our typical
adult view of life completely upside-down. She
reminds me a lot of myself—a BIG imagination!
MARY CONNEALY
Abbie Deal from A Lantern in Her Hand by Bess
Streeter Aldrich. This book is, to me, the most
powerful emotional experience of my life. Somehow
Aldrich manages, through Abbie Deal, to catch
me, the reader, exactly where I am in Abbie’s life.
Every time I read this book about a pioneer woman
who gives up everything for her children, it just
hammers me. It’s so powerful, so perfect. Abbie goes
through a life of sacrifice and comes to the end and
realizes that it was right, that she didn’t give up
anything. Those children were her true life’s work
and her life was spent doing something beautiful.

C.J. Darlington
“Who is your favorite fictional character of all
time, and what makes them so special?”
KATHRYN CUSHMAN
Frodo Baggins. What makes him special is that
there is absolutely nothing special about him—he’s
small, not particularly strong, not particularly
brave. Although average at best, he gives every
ounce of the strength he does possess to do the
right thing. His journey is long and hard, and yet
he moves forward step by step and never quits.
IRENE HANNON
Some of my favorite fictional characters come
from musical theatre because in my “spare” time
I love to perform. Anna in “The King and I” is a
standout, and I’ve been fortunate to sing that role
twice. She’s smart, strong, spunky, independent and
courageous—plus, she has a caring heart. Hmm…
come to think of it, she sounds a lot like my heroines!
DEBORAH RANEY
When I was a child, my mother read Johanna Spyri’s
Heidi to us five children—one chapter a night, two if
we could persuade her. Having only loving adults in
my life, I had a hard time with Heidi’s grandfather
(Alm-Uncle) being so gruff with her, but as AlmUncle warmed to Heidi, I warmed to him. He helped
me understand that not everyone who speaks
gruffly and appears uncaring is actually so.

Pamela Binnings EweN
In Pamela Binnings Ewan’s newest book, An Accidental Life
(B&H Books), she approaches an issue most authors would
shy away from—infants who survive abortions. In her book,
Pamela tells a complex story of desperation and hope.
Where did you get the idea for
this novel?
About three years ago I saw
an interview with Registered
Nurse, Jill Stanek, on television.
She was talking about a
testimony she gave before
Congress in 2000 about
infants born alive during late
term abortions, and left to
die. Medical assistance was
withheld. She also said that
it was not uncommon for an
infant to survive a late term
abortion. In the hospital’s case,
when a live birth occurred the
baby was left in a ‘soiled utility
room’ alone to die.
As you can imagine, I was
horrified. I’d never heard
of such a thing, never even
thought of the possibility
An Accidental Life
Pamela Binnings Ewen
B&H Books
that an infant could survive an abortion. But
as I researched the issue, I found that what
Stanek had said was a fact, and that this is still
continuing today.
That interview, and the research I did
afterward, drove me to write An Accidental
Life. I wanted readers to know that this was
happening, and just as important, why.
What do you hope people get out of this?
I’m hoping that An Accidental Life will open
eyes; save little lives. An Accidental Life is a
love story and a legal drama centered on a
tense murder trial. The two story lines deal
with life-changing choices. My hope is that
through the trial portion of the book, readers
will understand that infants born during late
term abortion are often capable of surviving,
but in more cases than you could imagine—still
moving, crying, struggling to breathe—they’re
treated as medical waste and left alone to die.
Particularly in the case of young women readers,
An Accidental Life is a call to an awakening,
then understanding, and then…change.

Keith A. Robinson
Keith Robinson’s latest book titled Elysium (Xulon Press) seeks
to carve out a unique space in Christian fiction—a type of
literature that is able to educate its readers and strengthen
their faith while entertaining with a little Sci-Fi flare.
Your new series, The Tartarus
Chronicles is set in an
underground world in the
future. Can you tell us about
why you chose this setting?
Elysium belongs to a new
genre of Christian fiction
called Apologetics Fiction,
or sometimes Literary
Apologetics. As such, the goal
of this series is to deal with
the topic of why Christianity
is unique among the world
religions. In order to tackle
such a hefty topic, I needed
a setting that would be a
microcosm of the world’s
religions, yet at the same time
be science-fiction (which is a
completely untapped genre for
Christian fiction—largely due
to the theological difficulties
inherent in the genre). So, I
Elysium
Tartarus Chronicles
Keith A. Robinson
Xulon Press
created a fictional, underground world that is
inhabited by humans who were accidentally
transported there via mysterious portals.
What was the inspiration for Elysium?
As I previously mentioned, the goal of the
Tartarus Chronicles is to demonstrate the
differences between the major world religions
and present a reasoned argument to show why
Christianity is unique, and the truth. However, the
trick of writing an apologetics fiction novel is to
present the apologetics arguments in such a way
that it doesn’t interfere with the pace and plot of
the story. Therefore, I wanted to create a novel
that largely centers around an unscrupulous
character who learns he has only thirty days
to live. As the story progresses, he begins to
question what he believes about life after death.
This plot is further woven into the overall
narrative about a team of fugitives who are trying
to reverse the portals to return the population
of Tartarus back to earth. However, they are
forced to dodge the government and other
warring factions who are determined to steal the
technology to further their own ambitions.
