I used to get a fair amount of heat from readers who objected to “all the religious stuff” in my Bell Mountain fantasy novels. As in, “Leave us alone to be our own gods!”
See that raspberry up there? That’s for you.
Sorry, but I just never got the hang of “winsome.” I don’t like their books any better than they like mine. I don’t like what they’re doing to my country, and I don’t like what they’re doing to the world. As for their fantasy novels, they can take their Invincible Female Warriors, All-Knowing (crusty but benign) Wizards, and Insatiably Oversexed Barbarian Big Guys and conduct them in a long walk off a short pier.
Lost people live in darkness and enjoy the darkness more than the light. The are spiritually dead and need to be regenerated.
I read your ten year old letter to the Critics. It’s still just as up to date as the day you wrote it. Well said, brother Lee.
Thank you, Mike.
