Because of my faith, I believe that ultimately good triumphs
over evil and therefore, I couldn’t be true to myself and
write nihilist fiction. But it doesn’t keep me from writing
people as they really are, with all the foibles, fallen natures,
“bad” words and habits they really have, because I firmly
believe that one potter molds all the clay and molds into all
kinds. I don’t feel any kind of “calling” to write the world
into something that has stories ending with doves flying off
into the sunset and filled with only happy good people who
live like the children’s versions of Bible story heroes. My
heroes are fallen people with lots of stuff to overcome.
