Q & A with Luana:
Is there a message for readers to take away after they read these
stories?
If there’s an underlying message in the series, it’s that God is always at
work in the lives of unbelievers to bring them to faith in Christ. Titus is
a career intelligence officer, dedicated to carrying out deceptive,
treacherous, sometimes violent, operations against both individuals and
governments. He was raised in a dysfunctional family with no spiritual
upbringing. Yet, while hiding out from Iran’s secret police, he is
confronted with the truth of the gospel. The message is simply that a
conversion experience often happens to the most improbable people in the
most unlikely of
circumstances.
In addition, contained in each of the books is the reality all believers
must face—how to live out the Christian faith. Titus is forced to deal with
what it means to be a follower of Christ in the world in which he operates.
The first book primarily deals with his attempts to pray, but he also buys
a Bible and attends church for the first time. Then, in Two Days in
Caracas, Titus is thrust into several situations where he’s faced with the
need to offer forgiveness for past sins. These are gut-wrenching episodes,
and he’s not always successful.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I grew up as a preacher’s kid, and it was actually my dad who gave me my
first spy novel when I was eleven years old. After that, I was hooked on
the thriller/suspense/mystery genre forever. I’m also a news fanatic, and I
follow events around the world on a daily basis, particularly the Middle
East.
I married a minister, and we’ve lived in several states in the South and
Midwest and have served as missionaries in Costa Rica and Venezuela. For
the past two decades, we’ve lived in Norman, Oklahoma, where my husband has
been the pastor of a Baptist church.
I’ve also done freelance work for Baptist Press, a national news service
for Baptists, reporting on the experiences of newly converted Christians.
And, in a similar fashion, when we lived in Indiana, I wrote a weekly
column for The Indiana Baptist, which told the stories of ordinary people
who became followers of Christ. I belong to several organizations for
writers, including the American Christian Fiction Writers.
