Great question, Darlene. ALL of it was a personal journey exploring the Bible. For about a decade, I tried to explain things I was seeing in my own research and study. But no one could accept it at face value. So I concocted the story to get the reader "out of his own head", so to speak, and look at these issues as an outside observer.
Also, I do have a sequel in the works. I'm doing research still on the main character: Solomon. It will be called "The Alien Apostle and Solomon's Curse". Every time I get positive feedback, I get a little more motivated to finish the next book.

For me, the ideas come faster than my ability to put them down on paper. Sometimes I have to write just to keep the ideas from rattling around in my head. It's satisfying to see the ideas come to life on the page.

It's a tough business. Getting a book published is hard enough. Selling books is even tougher! When I figure it out, I'll offer some advice. One thing I will say is "don't give up!"

It's cool to hand people that you know a book and get their reaction like, "No way, you wrote a book!"

I typically didn't have a problem this. I only wrote when I was inspired, because I didn't have a deadline. My book went through around 30 rounds of editing, so it was more important to get content down than for it to be perfect. Much of my inspiration to make a quote more impactful and memorable came through the editing process.

I was doing research for a book contrasting the Old Law and the New Covenant in Christ when something shocking was revealed to me. I asked the Lord if it was legitimate, and he answered me in a dream. I tried to describe the revelation through straight-forward exposition, but no one could/would accept it. I realized I had to take the reader on the same journey of discovery that I went through -- and so was born my first work of fiction.
