Ten years later, I’m still trying to answer this question. The Lord has much to teach me.
I am waiting for the 13th book in the Bell Mountain series to be published (can’t imagine what’s delayed it!), No. 14 is written, and I’ve just started writing No. 15, The Witch Box. There are those who say the series is too long; but I’m still very far away from catching up Tarzan, Hercule Poirot, Rick Brant, Freddy the Pig, et al. Edgar Rice Burroughs grew weary of Tarzan, and Agatha Christie would have gladly pitched Poirot into a tar pit; but I still love my characters. Besides, there are always new ones that come along, and I never know where they’re going to take me.
One has to remain on course wherever the Lord leads. He could have in mind things we had never thought of. With all the trash in the world to lure young people, good clean reading is of great value.
Lee, you hit the mother lode with Bell Mountain. Keep mining all the gold that it contains.
I’m hoping to do that today.
Congrats on book 14!!!
