Frank, have you ever read any speculative fiction by Black authors? Cecil, would you read white Christian speculative fiction? Have you read any?
CW: The nuns of St. Mary's Piscataway made sure I found out about C.S. Lewis when I was in elementary school. Barring that, I read whatever I think is good.
FC: [smiling] Most of the science fiction I've read was in paperback form, and paperbacks don't usually include author pictures. For all I know, these people were green!
What are your current projects?
CW: I've been writing poetry and just completed recording a rap song in my cousin's studio. I'm also working on a short story and the next issue of Creative Brother.
FC: I am working with role-playing game designer Mike Roop on a RPG based on Flashpoint; at the same time I am writing the sequel to it as well as collaborating with a small group of people who are writing in the Underground setting.
Thank you so much for the interview and good luck with your enterprises.

Good article. I may have to put aside my own stigma over Christian spec fiction and check out Frank's new book.
