Tell us a little about yourself. For the past ten years I've been working as a novelist, and even before then, storytelling was always important to my life. When I wasn't telling stories to my kids, I was traveling around the country telling them to those who would listen.
What was your motivation behind this project? As I was researching cybercrime, I became more and more aware of how internet predators target people online. The issue is so vital in or culture today, I wanted to examine it through the lens of a thriller.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope readers will be entertained in a thought-provoking way. My guess is they'll never look at the internet the same way again.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? As I studied the cycle of temptation and the lure of darkness, it woke me up to the necessity of being constantly aware of God's presence.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? As a storyteller, I was deeply impacted by Calvin Miller's Singer trilogy. It helped me to see issues of faith through the eyes of story.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Every Crooked Path is intense, however, it never celebrates the darkness. It is redemptive. If you haven't read it, you need to check it out!
