• In its purest sense, nicknaming is an elitist ritual practiced by those who cherish hierarchy.

And I thought, I write a team superhero book, an uplifting solo hero book, I write a horror-western, and I write a ghost story. What am I gonna be pigeonholed as? Has a man in the history of men ever been asked if he was going to be pigeonholed because he wrote two consecutive books with male leads?

• We know from the book of Genesis that God created men and women 'in His image and likeness.'  We know from the first letter of John that 'God is Love.'  Therefore, men and women are made in the image and likeness of Love.  This isn't hard to see.  Look at the design of the male and female bodies. They are made for each other. In fact, neither one makes complete sense apart from the other.
